Internships give students and fresh graduates real‑world experience, helping them move from classroom learning to practical work.

What is an internship?

An internship is a short‑term work experience program where a student or fresher works with a company to learn practical skills in a real workplace. It can be full‑time or part‑time, paid or unpaid, and usually lasts from a few weeks to a few months.

Why internships matter

  • Internships help you apply theoretical knowledge to real projects, making you more confident and job‑ready.
  • They improve your resume and increase your chances of getting a full‑time job after graduation.
  • You build a professional network by working with managers, mentors, and team members in your field.

Skills you gain

  • Professional skills like teamwork, communication, problem‑solving, and time management grow quickly during an internship.
  • You also learn job‑specific technical skills, tools, and workflows used in your industry.

How to make the most of it

  • Set clear goals for what you want to learn and ask for feedback from your mentor regularly.
  • Take initiative, volunteer for tasks, and treat the internship like a real job, as it can easily turn into a permanent opportunity.
