With increasing population and cutthroat competition, merely having good grades and degrees is no longer enough to secure that dream job offer. Relevant work experience and exposure is now considered just as important as your academic performance and degree when it comes to building a successful career. 

As a result, internships have become an essential way to aid candidates to make themselves field-ready and stand out in a tough competition. According to NACE’s Class of 2019 Student Survey, “More than half of all graduating seniors who applied for a full-time job (53.2%) received at least one job offer. Within this group, 57.5% of students who had an internship and 43.7% of graduating seniors who did not have an internship received a job offer.” 

By partaking in an internship, you will be able to gain real-life exposure, and determine if you are in the right career field. Internships not only provide you with first-hand experience in the real working world but also enable you to understand the career trajectory for your desired job title.
