An internship is a structured learning experience in a work setting. Internships are a great way for students to explore a career field, evaluate their knowledge, skills, strengths and weaknesses and gain valuable workplace experience.
Organizations frequently use internships to recruit and hire potential candidates.
The majority of internships take place in the summer but many are available throughout the year. Internship programs can be found at private corporations, government offices, and nonprofit organizations. Internships are a great way to bring in talented students to contribute to the organization with work, ideas and new energy. They provide additional support and increase your workforce, helping you accomplish the goals and mission of the organization. The organization's investment is limited and during the internship you can evaluate the intern's skills, work ethic, and assimilation into the culture.
