Internship Benefits

Benefits of an Internship and Real-World Experience

Networking

An internship facilitates the development of professional contacts. These contacts may be able to help you in the future by acting as a reference for another company, or assist you in securing full-time employment within their company.

Choices

Maybe you learned that you work well with computers, or maybe you discovered a passion for product development. With the knowledge and experience you gain from your internship, you will be in a better position to make choices about your future career.
