The benefits of internships flow both ways – interns get to learn how organizations work and gain experience, and companies get the benefit of (almost) free work from dedicated professionals.
Students who have just finished a business/management degree often opt for internships as they provide them with experience of working in a real-time environment.
This experience can make their eligibility stronger for a managerial position when they apply for a full-time job.
Internships are offered across many industries.
Companies employ interns to help them organize their information; the plus point of hiring an intern is that they have substantial book knowledge and can apply concepts with little guidance and supervision.
Job Scope
Depending on what type of internship one has applied for, one can eventually pursue a career in management, marketing, sales, finance, tourism, hospitality, or any number of industries.
Most internships are unpaid – payment is in terms of experience gained – but some companies offer paid internships too.
