Why should I do an Internship?
Internships are a great opportunity to get a jumpstart on your professional career by supplementing hands-on, real-world experience.
Internships benefit both students and employers by building relationships, finding mentors, and preparing employees for their future careers.
The on-the-job learning opportunity will reinforce what you learn in the classroom and will teach valuable skills such as time management, communication, working with others, and problem-solving.
