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.
