Interns aren't struggling with the work. They're struggling with the parts nobody writes down: how to communicate up and across, how to take initiative without being told, how to build the kind of reputation that gets remembered once the internship ends. These are the same skills managers name most often when an intern doesn't convert, and the same skills almost no internship program is actually built to teach.

Most companies know this. Almost none have built a way to teach it, because it isn't a curriculum problem; it's a research problem. What actually changes behavior long-term, what makes a lesson stick past the day it's delivered, is its own field of study.

DurableStart is that program. It's grounded in transformational learning theory and years of research into how people actually retain and apply what they're taught, not just a checklist of professionalism tips. And it's built to plug directly into the internship structure you already run, no rebuild, no extra headcount, no becoming the expert yourself.
