The internship experience allows students (or young professionals) an opportunity to engage in the career in a hands-on setting to determine whether the careeer will be an appropriate fit for them, or whether their careers plans need to be altered in order for them to meet their goals.
Internships allow students to explore career paths and put into practice skills learned in the classroom. Another benefit is that employers are able to screen applicants for available positions.
Internships are an invaluable resource, not only for the organization to see the performance and mentor a future employee, but also for the student to have an opportunity to apply what they have learned in a real-world working environment.
Internships can help students evaluate whether they really want to pursue that particular industry. Some students might have a different expectation from reality.
Internships are a valuable way for students or anyone to build their skills, gain confidence and network with potential employers.
I learned that internships are a great way for students to see if they are in the best fitting field for themselves
Internships are great for our students for many ways. Our industry partners come to the school to interview students to see the best fit, and within the classroom is where the connection begins for the students of work to their internship. Having internships local to the students within their community is also very helpful.
Experiential learning has many benefits including gaining valuable work based learning experiences and networking skills for students to build on.

Internship benefits both students and employers.
Internship is practice for real life both professionally and personally.
Internships provide invaluable practical experience that support what has been learned in the related classroom and can be put into practice. It should also provide a safe place for asking questions, getting support and growing in confidence. Interns should set goals, however, and outline how they plane to achieve them by setting small objectives.
Internships benefits everyone: employer, student, instructor, and the community.

Internships are a great way for kids to get hands on expirience in a feild. This is also a good way for a student to decide if they are interested in what they are doing before committing to a full time job.
I think that internship experience is key to a successful graduation. This gives students the insight into what their job may look like
Internships provide a student with the opportunity to take what they have learned in the confines of the classroom and put it to practical use. They are able to demonstrate their knowledge in the workforce, while still receiving support and encouragement; as long as the parties involved work to provide a "good fit" for student and intern site. Having the internship experience is yet another way to prepare our students to be career ready, while working on the skills that they so often lack-communication/teamwork/social skills, etc.
Internships help students build their skills while really looking into what their career is all about. In addition, the organization doing the internship can really see the worthiness of such a program.
