IBM's increase in internships comes at a time when internship hiring has decreased amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Three-quarters of respondents in a College Reaction survey of 822 students April 10 to April 12 said the internships or post-graduate jobs they secured had been canceled, moved remote or delayed. The survey also found that the majority (71%) said they were concerned about job and internship opportunities, and almost all of the respondents (90%) were at least moderately concerned about the pandemic's impact on the U.S. economy and employment opportunities.
