How to Use a Returnship Program After a Career Gap

In this episode of The Comeback Career Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore returnship programs — structured internships for professionals returning to the workforce after a career gap. They dive into the mechanics of how companies like Walmart and IBM run these programs, discuss why they can be a lower-risk entry point than a direct hire, and share tips on finding programs in tech and finance. Lucas breaks down the numbers: over 70% of returnship participants land full-time roles within three months of completion. They also talk about how to position your gap year as an asset, not a liability, during the application process. Plus, a brief mention of how listener support keeps the show ad-free. Perfect for stay-at-home parents, caregivers, or anyone re-entering after a multi-year break. #Returnship #CareerGap #StayAtHomeParent #ReEntry #Careers #JobSearch #WorkforceReEntry #ProfessionalDevelopment #Walmart #IBM #TechCareers #FinanceCareers #Internship #SkillsGap #ParentingAndCareer #JobInterview #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
