Internships
What is Internship?
An internship is a type of professional learning opportunity where students can work on real-world projects that are relevant to their subject of study or desired career path. A student can explore and expand their profession as well as acquire new skills through an internship. It gives the business the chance to develop talent, infuse fresh ideas and enthusiasm into the company, and even create a pipeline for future full time hires.
