How One Company Made Its Internship a Pipeline for Underrepresented Talent

Lucas and Luna examine how a mid-sized healthcare company redesigned its internship program to systematically recruit and retain underrepresented talent. They walk through the specific changes — from removing GPA requirements to paying interns a living wage and assigning mentors from day one — that led to a 40% increase in diverse hires and a 90% offer acceptance rate. The episode also touches on the broader lesson: diversity initiatives work when companies change their systems, not just their messaging. A practical look at what real inclusion looks like in entry-level hiring. #Internship #UnderrepresentedTalent #DiverseHiring #Inclusion #EntryLevel #HealthcareCompany #Mentorship #SystemicChange #GPARequirement #LivingWage #OfferAcceptanceRate #Careers #DiversityAndInclusion #TalentPipeline #EarlyCareer #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheDiversityCareerPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
