The benefits of internships are plentiful, beyond proving students with opportunity to acquire experience in their fields of study.
Internships provide students with a greater adaptability to demands in the workplace.
Internships are an ideal way for students to learn how textbook concepts are applied in the work environment, as well as how the workplace actually functions, leading students to make better career choices. Internships are an effective recruitment tool for employers, as a way to pre-screen promising candidates for job openings and meet organizational goals. Interns can fill in during low staffing periods, offer fresh perspectives and complete projects for which regular staff members have no time. Internships contribute to the kind of relationship between academicidians that leads to more relevant educational programs and a better qualified work force. Organizations who have great internship porgrams are in a position to attract the most qualified students as prospective hires.
