I should add our juniors are getting screwed. Usually we spend a lot of time training and coaching, now at home they're mostly ignored. I think our intern class is going to get cancelled too.

My company cancelled its intern program this year. I actually did hire one but I was very proactive in making it happen and barely got it done before shelter-in-place kicked in. It's really challenging for both sides compared to last year due to lack of in person but it's working.

FWIW, this is going do depend highly upon the individual companies. Our own is continuing to bring in and work with interns, even though it does cost a bit more in terms of a FT individual’s time.

We currently hire our babysitter for 3 days a week to do stuff with the kids while we work and make money. It works out very well for everybody.
