Blackbaud is Proud to be Named a Top Employer for Interns and Entry Level Talent by CollegeGrad.com

According to the results of a new entry level employment survey, hiring of new college grads in 2022 is up 22% over last year. CollegeGrad.com released the results of its Top Entry Level Employers survey last week, with more than 400 US-based employers making the list, including Blackbaud.

“As Blackbaud has transitioned to a remote-first workplace approach, the early career talent team continues to provide virtual internship opportunities across the globe,” said Kristi Alu, director, early careers and university programs, Blackbaud. “We see this new approach as an opportunity to expand our university portfolio, ultimately diversifying our talent pool. We’re looking for top talent regardless of geographical location.” 

Blackbaud hosted a fully virtual internship program in 2021, over the course of 12 weeks.  Students worked remotely across the U.S. and the U.K.  Students participated in senior speaker sessions, virtual volunteering, professional development workshops and formal exit interviews. 

“In keeping diversity, equity, and inclusion at the forefront, Blackbaud focuses on not only recruiting a diverse class of interns, but also on investing in development and retention,” Alu added. “By assigning challenging and strategic projects, providing career growth opportunities, and encouraging exposure to leadership, we cultivated our summer programming to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging amongst the students.”
