It has been made very clear to me from the beginning at working for this company that they are pushing through with this internship with the prospect of wanting to invest in potential talent to recruit and grow the company for the future. I was especially made aware of the opportunity to be employed from my prior work experience there and that the only impediment is simply a delay in the process due to concerns of economic instability at the moment. But even then I've heard that my leadership has even made it a rallying point to get it escalated to executive leadership to exempt the recruitment program from the hiring freeze to help continue the goal of investing for the company's future.
