Why should a student and a business consider an internship or job shadowing program?


A meaningful internship program with purpose will provide students:

  • Experiences, exploration, networking, skill development, resume building, experience business culture, develop time management skills, boost confidence, identify a specialty, find a mentor.
  • Internships and job shadowing can help you gain experience in a career field and lead to opportunities for future jobs.
  • Guide your personal career goals and learn about the expectations of employment in your chosen field to know if it is right for you.

A meaningful internship program with purpose will provide businesses:

  • The ability to select and develop future talent through internships and increase their staff retention rates, since many interns secure job offers after their internship ends. 
  • Interns are valuable support to current employees, even if tasks given to them have modest levels of responsibility. By taking on tasks as an intern, other employees can pursue creative or more advanced projects. 
  • Interns offer a fresh look at a company's day-to-day business and procedures and can share ideas on strategy and spur innovation.
  • Businesses that offer internships can establish or grow their community connections, increasing their visibility with positive publicity.
