AAGE's Top Intern Programs lists

Objective

One of the AAGE’s key objectives is to promote excellence in our industry. We want to be an advocate for our members and the best practice they demonstrate in the fields of graduate recruitment and development. One of the ways the AAGE recognises excellence is via our annual Top Intern Programs lists.

The AAGE’s Top Intern Programs lists recognise organisations that provide the most positive experience for their interns, as determined by interns themselves.


Methodology

The aim of the Top Intern Programs lists are to recognise those organisations which provide the most positive experience for their interns as determined by the interns themselves.

The Top Intern Programs lists were determined based on responses captured in the 2024 AAGE Intern Survey conducted across January and February of 2024.

The survey received over 2,400 responses from students who were engaged in an internship program at sometime across March 2023 – February 2024.

The aim of the Top Intern Programs list is to recognise those organisations which provide the most positive experience for their interns as determined by the interns themselves.​

The Top Intern Programs lists were determined based on responses captured in the 2024 AAGE Intern Survey conducted across January and February of 2024.​

The survey received over 2,400 responses from students who were engaged in an internship program at sometime across March 2023 – February 2024.​

The survey is completed anonymously and interns are asked to rate their employer on around 15 different categories including:

  • Induction and training
  • Content of work
  • Ability to work on different projects or in different areas of the organisation
  • Quality of supervision provided by manager
  • Amount of responsibility
  • Access to senior management
  • Feedback on performance
  • Social life
  • Organisation's culture and values

All the individual responses from interns at a particular employer are combined and used to determine an overall average rating for that organisation. This same process is followed for each separate employer to produce an overall average rating for each organisation based on the responses of its own interns. This year, employers have been ranked in one of three lists of 20 based on their intake size, enabling improved comparability and usability. The three lists are:

  • ​​Top 20 Intern Programs (Small: intake of 20 or less)
  • Top 20 Intern Programs (Medium: intake of 21-50)
  • Top 20 Intern Programs (Large: intake of 51 or more)

​​A total of 60 employers are featured across these three lists and offer the Top Intern Programs for 2024.
