Medieval age apprenticeship has evolved with time to take up the form of internship in modern time. Internship is an official program or position in an organization for students or trainees to gain experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification. However, here is a bird’s eye view of the core benefits of attending internship programs in shaping your career.

  • Network Building: Internships give us an opportunity to meet the professionals and seniors in our field. The people we meet during our internships add to the nodes of our own business network. They may be the key to our first job, act as a valuable reference to help us seal admission to our dream college or acquire the perfect job.
  • Skills Development: Valuable feedback from a superior provides a mirror view of our strengths and a chance to face and overcome the weaknesses. Internships provide a platform to refine our skills by gaining experience and observing. They also help in developing new skills that will be helpful in future to gain success in the professional world.
  • Become Marketable: Employers often have to invest money and resources on training a new employee, so they tend to hire the students who have participated in internship programs as these students require less training and are well acquainted with the job. The internships give an edge in the professional pool and may even help in securing better salary as compared to a student who is taking first step in the career path.
  • Confidence Building: Putting the theories to practice in real time requires experience and understanding. Internships are a great way to test the knowledge gained in the classroom.
