Internships provide students with targeted work experience, allowing them to enter the work force after graduation with related skills in their chosen field. It also affords the chance to evaluate different career paths in depth and in person. Students are given a chance to prove their initiative, reliability, and responsibility all the while putting into practice concepts they have learned in their courses.
