Value in .EDU Link When Listed on Internship Offered Page

[khi5]

My company is looking to hire an Intern and a university - ".edu" - has including the job description on a page with list of "Available Internship", which includes a list of 100 other companies looking for an Intern. Our profile includes a link to our homepage like all other listings.

Question: do we know search engines will give zero value to such link as they can tell it is an Internship posting page or is there a good chance it will actually be quite a valuable link?

A long time ago the TLD .gov and .edu etc. used to be worth more but because of abuse they are not, they are worth the same as .com etc. It can still be a good link if its relevant to your niche though so don't think they are utterly useless and they can normally have good DA with them which can also be helpful.

thank you. I was curious as to whether anyone had more concrete evidence on the matter.
