Internships are a great way for students to test their skills in real-life situations, explore career options and gain an insight into a company or organisation. Internships provide an unrivalled opportunity to find out about different areas of a business and to network with other professionals and like-minded ambitious students.
Taking an Internship
[Edit]Taking an internship can also significantly increase your chances of getting a full-time graduate job. It is not at all unusual for employers make full-time job offers to a large proportion of their interns.
Some candidates will find they do not actually enjoy the job they do during their internship. This is also useful because it is much better to discover this during an internship than after you’ve graduated and accepted a permanent job offer.
