Why Pursue an Internship?

 

Obviously, you think there is some benefit to an internship; however, here are some reasons you may not have thought of:

Personally

Boost your maturity and self-confidence; improve your human relations skills; prepare for life after graduation; enjoy a greater clarity about career decisions

Academically

Integrate classroom theory with real-life experiences; understand the relevance of your course work; increase your motivation to learn; use resources that are not available on campus; possibly get academic credit

Professionally

Explore a potential career field; develop career-related skills and abilities, including effective job search, résumé writing and interviewing techniques; establish a work history; observe professional people and behavior; build a network of professional contacts, potentially developing mentoring relationships; gain a competitive edge for employment or graduate school admission

Financially

Help cover college expenses
