During student’s College life we connect with several people and create lifelong memories. And on study front we get opportunities which sometimes seems important and sometimes we feel can let it pass by, whether you think it’s a good idea to do an internship or You think it might not be a good idea, in both situation we can look at Benefits of Doing an Internship during Your Graduation
- Job offers. People who pursue internship at graduate level, have a chance at getting preplacement offers. If they show sincerity and dedication at workplace during internship chances, are they get a offer from same organisation even if they don’t get a immediate job offer, if they apply after completing there course they will have a priority as they are already experienced in the same organisation.
- Experience work environment. An Intern is not only joining a company for Job Offer but they join and pursue hardship of Intern life to experience how it feels to work in a real-life scenario, how companies’ function, how internal departmental coordination happens. Etc. Internship offers a great deal of learning through practical exposure. This brings me to next point,
- Build-up confidence. When you know about how something works you feel confident about it and perform better due to this confidence. Internship brings a good level of confidence in interns, they learn and understand about practical exposure of theoretical knowledge, which is essential to have confidence required for professional life.

The Most Underrated aspect of Internship is Connection opportunity it provides to a completely different world for students. students who go for internship are having little or no connections (Barring Immediately family and friends) in corporate world. This is their first chance to create real and personal connects which will not only help them grow in their professional lives but also gives them chance to learn from their experiences. Interns should show their genuine efforts and dedication to the job given, and they will experience warmth from people around them. Most often People connect with their mentors and friend during internships.
