During five years of coalition government, UK government underwent profound changes: budgets and staff numbers were reduced, departments changed fundamentally what they did and how they did it, while technology changed the way citizens interact with public services. The Institute for Government's 'Whitehall Monitor 2015: The Coalition in 163 charts' looks at how the size, shape and performance of UK government changed between 2010 and 2015. This presentation from Gavin Freeguard, senior researcher and one of the authors of the report, looks at some of the key themes at the launch on 19 November 2015.

FINAL FALL 2014 OVER VIEW REPORT
1. 1 | P a g e

FALL 2014 EMPLOYER INTERNSHIP PLACEMENT REPORT
OBJECTIVES__________________________________________________________________________________________
The objective of this report is to provide a summary of the data gathered throughout THE
Fall 2014, concerning employers offering internships through the Aztec Career Connections
website. This report is intended to:
Track the amount of employers placing San Diego State University students in
internship and volunteer opportunities through the use of the Aztec Career
Connections website.
Track the amount of internships and volunteer opportunities being posted through
the Aztec Career Connections website
Tracking overall student placements throughout the semester on a bi-monthly basis
SURVEY METHODOLOGY__________________________________________________________________________
Information gathered was done so through bi-monthly surveys that were individually
emailed to employers. A preliminary survey was initially sent out, followed by a follow up
survey about two weeks after the preliminary. This method of follow up was done so in
order to obtain as much responses as possible. The survey included the following
questions:
Organization name
If the internship(s) posted on Aztec Career Connections had been filled
If a student from SDSU was hired to fill the position
How many SDSU students were hired
Information was also gathered through the Aztec Career Connections website on a bi-
monthly basis. This data provided information of employers who would be surveyed, and
the amount of new posts per month.
Trends and themes observed in the data have been identified in the section “Observations”
and observations specific to a certain time period have been addressed in its corresponding
section. The analysis includes:
Raw data analysis based off of data taken from the Aztec Career Connections
website
Bi-monthly Employer Internship survey data
2. 2 | P a g e
Additionally, it should be noted that not all employers accounted for in the raw data
analysis responded to the bi-monthly survey for various reasons, whether it be an email
address deemed undeliverable, a general email address only accepting applications (i.e
recruits@organizationname.com), or an employer simply choosing not to reply to a survey
request.
Finally, this report is possibly the first to track student placements and is a working
document for following semesters to come. No data is known to be reported prior to Fall
2014, so no semester to semester comparisons can be made until following semester
reports are created.

OBSERVATIONS____________ _________________________________________________________________________
Raw Data
According to the data taken from the Aztec Career Connections website
(Symplicity), internships posted mimic the need of students looking for internships. In
other words, internship opportunities particularly show an increase at the beginning of a
semester as well as towards mid-semester. Internship opportunities then decrease
towards the end of the semester when more focus is turned toward school related
responsibilities such as midterms and finals. It can be predicted that this trend will
continue in following semesters.
Another trend that was seen given by the raw data is that the amount of paid
internships has increased while the amount of unpaid and volunteer opportunities has
decreased.
14. 14 | P a g e
Survey Data
The data gathered through email surveys compliments the pattern depicted by the
given raw data; more students have been placed in positions towards the beginning and
mid-semester rather than towards the end of the semester. A reason for this is similar to
the reason that is given in the raw data. Students are more inclined to look for internships
towards the beginning and mid-semester to fulfill requirements of courses that require an
internship experience. As the semester comes to an end, students tend to focus themselves
towards academic achievement before searching for more internship opportunities. It can
be predicted that this trend will continue in following semesters.
It should also be taken into consideration that a majority of those who either did not
respond at all to the survey or responded “No,” in answering whether or not the internship
position had been filled, posted on their opportunity on Aztec Career Connections
relatively close to the period of when preliminary emails were sent out. Given the amount
of time, one can infer that there haven’t been enough applicants for the position or that the
application deadline has not yet passed, therefore these companies cannot comment yet on
whether or not an SDSU student has been hired to fill that internship position. One
suggestion for this complication in the survey process may be to allow for a specified
amount of time to pass from the last posting of the month of which bi-monthly surveys are
sent out so that employers can go through the hiring process.
CONCLUSION_________________________________________________________________________________________
In conclusion, data indicates that there is a relationship between the amount of
postings per month and the number of student placements. The time period during the
semester at which an internship is posted also plays a role in the amount of SDSU students
placed in internship opportunities. In order to gain a better idea of trends and
relationships between these variables, the process should be continued. As previously
stated, this is a working document and thus will see additions and improvements to the
methods used to gain better information on student placements, employer postings, and
tracking the number of employers using the Aztec Career Connections website as a
resource for employment.
