Why do an internship?

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE): “Internships provide you with an opportunity to learn in a real work environment with professionals in your field . . . you’ll be able to develop key competencies, skills, and work characteristics that employers seek . . . You’ll also have a better understanding of what people in your field do, gain more confidence in your abilities, and learn how to get things done. In general, you’ll be better prepared to enter the world of work and your field.”
