Many students, like myself, are required to complete an internship in their field of study before graduation, but most don’t realize just how important internships can be.
Throughout my college experience, I’ve found that internships are a great opportunity to learn more about your personal career goals and interests, while also developing the knowledge and skills that you’ll need to be successful.
Here are a few of the ways that internship experiences can benefit you both now and in the future:
By pursuing internships as a college student, I am adding to my professional network and learning more about which career paths are right for me. In addition to gaining valuable experience in my field, I am also working in an environment where mistakes are expected and where I have extra support.
Taking advantage of internship opportunities during your college years is a great way to get a head start on your job search and prepare for a successful career in your field. To learn more about internship positions available both on and off campus, consult with your academic advisor.
