Everybody can go for internship; interns can be high school or college students or even adults interested in trying out a new career. Some university or college students do internships, to gain relevant experience in a particular career field, or their field of study. Internship programs are mostly supported by university, interns have a supervisor who gives them some specific tasks and evaluates the interns overall work.
The internship also makes students more knowledgeable and marketable, allowing them to stand out to employers for the highly competitive jobs. The internship also trains the independent-minded students to become successful entrepreneurs. Either the students will eventually work for a company or for themselves, internship is one of the best ways to learn about the real world and labor market.
Internships help to facilitate concrete experiences that encourage the link between theory and practice and as well as bridging the gaps between the knowledge from a classroom to the outside world or environment. The internship also gives students an experimental learning opportunity to have more knowledge and skills in real a life situation, to evaluate the acceptability of a future career area, to increase their competitiveness for future employment and to develop an awareness of community, economic and social issues in a global society. In other words, it broadens our horizons in relation to our disciplines.
