You’re not just offering internships—you’re shaping your future workforce.
Internships are no longer a “nice-to-have” program. They’re a strategic investment in identifying, engaging, and converting top talent. And just like any investment, the details matter.
One of the most overlooked drivers of intern program success? Housing.
It may seem like a logistical box to check—but it’s so much more.
Your interns are evaluating you from the moment they accept their offer—and long before they step into the office. A confusing, patchwork housing setup tells them they’re on their own. A seamless, secure, done-for-them experience tells them they’re in good hands.
Intern housing is the first impression of your company’s values, organization, and commitment to their success.
Do it well, and you set the tone for loyalty and engagement.
Miss the mark, and you risk losing them before the program even begins.
When housing falls short, it impacts more than morale. It drives attrition. Increases admin burden. Derails program KPIs. And it puts your employer brand—hard-won and hard to fix—at risk.
Interns talk. Word spreads. And the best candidates have options.
That’s why “good enough” housing isn’t good enough anymore.
Talent, HR, and university relations teams weren’t built to manage leases, chase down landlords, or troubleshoot roommate issues. Yet too often, that’s exactly where their time goes.
At Switchplace, we take intern housing completely off your plate—from sourcing and setup to support and move-out—so your team can focus on what really matters: building intern experiences that convert top talent into full-time hires.
We’re not just a vendor—we’re your behind-the-scenes execution team. Our curated inventory and private partner network means no scrubbing Airbnb listings, no piecemeal fixes, and no panicked interns.
We deliver:
You’ve built a brand your interns are excited to work for. Your housing should reflect that. When interns walk into a Switchplace setup, they feel it: this company doesn’t just talk about excellence—they live it.
And when your employees no longer have to play property manager? They feel it too.
