Internship Information
An internship gives students real-world experience in a professional setting. This practical training allows students to develop and improve a range of skills they will need in the work force. The hands-on experience they gain helps to build their resume and make them more marketable.
Top 5 Reasons Internships are Important
1) The site the student interns at might turn into their future career.
2) Hands on learning - Students gain hand on skills they can’t gain in a classroom.
3) Confidence - Internships allow the student to learn a job in an educational setting so when it’s time to go into the work force the student has experiences he or she can trust.
4) Get experience - Employers want employees that have experience and internships are a great way to gain experience and education.
5) Establish relationships - The people students work with helps them grow in their chosen field and may become their future co-workers. Internships allow the students to build relationships with professionals while still in school.
