/ 100
Ford has multiple reliable entry points for graduates, including a summer internship program with a stated path to full-time offers and several rotational programs for new grads and MBAs. The score is capped because Ford does not publish cohort outcomes such as internship conversion rates, early-tenure retention, or typical time-to-promotion for entry-level hires.
