Employers everywhere are finding that a robust economy and low unemployment means fewer applicants for any given role. It’s often difficult to find a well-qualified employee when a vacancy presents itself. As such, they’re thinking of creative ways to expand the talent pool and find candidates who are a good fit.
One option is to utilize what’s become known as a “returnship” program. A returnship plays on the word internship but is focused on individuals who already have work experience but are returning to the workforce after some form of extended absence.
