Internships
Overview
Everyone wins with internship programs. Employers are able to boost workplace productivity and students are able to strengthen business skills. Students gain real-life experiences, learn new programs, and experience life in a professional workplace. Employers gain temporary help from fresh and eager aspiring business leaders. While internships are not deliberately designed to serve as extended interviews, they often allow employers to evaluate potential new hires before extending an offer.
