Only 53 % of interns get hired full-time. Half the people doing exactly what you’re doing won’t get the offer.

Internships open doors — but most students never learn how to walk through them.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE):

  • Just 53.3% of interns in the Class of 2024 were converted to full-time.
  • Employers offered jobs to only 62% of interns — the lowest rate in five years.

That means nearly half of students finish their internships with nothing more than “experience” on a résumé.
The Job Offer Formula gives you the tools, scripts, and strategy to make your internship the launchpad for your career, not just another line item.

Introducing The Job Offer Formula!

The step-by-step course that turns your internship into a full-time job offer. Getting an internship is great. Turning it into a career? That’s where most students get stuck.

Inside The Job Offer Formula, you’ll learn how to:
  • Build a personal brand that gets noticed AND remembered
  • Take initiative and prove Gen Z stereotypes wrong
  • Turn coworkers into advocates who speak for you in the room you’re not in
  • Ask for feedback without feeling awkward
  • Confidently position yourself for the offer you’ve earned
Bonus Module: Job Fairs & Internship Prep: elevator pitch templates, follow-up scripts, and a checklist that give you an edge before day one.

This isn’t theory, it’s the insider playbook written by HR and Learning & Development executives who’ve extended hundreds of offers to interns.

WHY THIS WORKS

Because it was built by the people who make hiring decisions. Not influencers. Not career gurus. Actual HR and L&D executives with 35+ years of combined experience who've hired hundreds of interns.

They know what managers notice — and what they don’t.

The Job Offer Formula distills that insight into a repeatable system for students ready to stand out and get hired.

DS never failed to point me in the right direction!

I recently completed a 6 month internship, and I'm proud to say I have received excellent feedback and praise for my performance thanks to Durable Minds courses! Thanks to Durable Minds I noticed a real boost in my confidence, for managing expectations, preparing ahead, reflecting both professionally and emotionally, and even team workshops to help me grow as a leader. I personally enjoyed how insightful the Durable Me Cards were, the questions strategically asked combined practical guidance with deep self reflection...they empowered me not only to succeed in my role, but also to grow in how I carry myself professionally.  I treated the Durable Success Course like a guidebook and cheat sheet, and it never failed to point me in the right direction. Which is perfect if you are ambitious, wanting to optimize your time and invest in a more durable you.

Course Information was great!

I purchased this course for my 22-year-old daughter. The course really helped her understand what to expect in a corporate environment and how to set boundaries. The intro modules were a bit too much "we got you", but once you got to the bulk of the course the information was great. Overall, it’s been incredibly helpful, I recommend to anyone with a young adult child about to graduate.

Throughout the program, I gained so many insights—whether it was learning new skills, identifying my values, or setting meaningful goals—that I can actually use in real life. What stood out the most was how the program gave me access to unique opportunities that made me feel more prepared for the future and gave me a stronger sense of purpose. It also pushed me to think more deeply about myself—not just professionally, but personally too. Durable Minds has really helped me build a solid path forward and inspired me to be someone who can support and lead others as they find their own way.

Develop habits that actually stick!

What really drew me to the DME's program was its promise of continuous growth! Not just a one-time workshop, but a mindset shift! Throughout my experience, it helped me recognize and become more aware of how I handle uncertainty, and gave me tools to respond more intentionally.

I would highly recommend this program to my peers!

I recently graduated in May of 2025, and in the midst of my job search, I was worried and concerned about starting my career, and if I would even be able to find a job. Jillian reached out to me about this opportunity, and I thought it was a great resource, especially for a soon-to-be graduate. I have learned so much about the workforce and what it means to enter the corporate world, and most importantly, how to advocate for myself. In the future, I will definitely be using DME as a resource, and I would highly recommend this program to my peers.

I’ll keep her advice in mind going forward!

COMMON QUESTIONS

“I already have an internship — I’ll be fine.”

That’s great! But only half get turned into offers. This course helps you land on the half that does.

“I’ll focus on school — grades matter most.”

Grades matter, but employers hire people, not GPAs. Initiative and communication get you hired.

“I can find this advice on TikTok.”

You’ll find tips, not a system. This course gives you a proven, repeatable framework that works.

“$97 feels like a lot.”

So does wasting a summer that doesn’t pay off. That’s why we offer a plan: $17/ month for 6 months. Less than a streaming subscription and it could change your career.
