Having an Internship Gives You An Edge

Business majors are not required to have an internship, but they are encouraged to do so. The benefits of having an internship experience prior to your graduation include:

• Gaining work place experience - you'll be able to put your classroom knowledge into practice as you learn from your coworkers and from the organization with which you work

• Resume builder - You will be a step ahead with potential employers because you had the initiative to land and complete an internship

• Successful projects - You may work on real -hands-on- projects, which you can review with prospective employers

• Networking - your internship supervisor and others you work with may be useful in your job search as contacts or as references

• Job offer - you may land a permanent job with your internship company
