How we count
An internship counts as open when we have seen it recently, usually on the employer's own careers site, and it hasn't been taken down or passed its application deadline. It also needs a description. Our search uses the same rule.
Counts and shares come from those open internships and are updated throughout the day. Sponsorship counts only the postings that say whether they sponsor. We leave a figure out when too few postings are behind it.
