What is an internship?
This is an important question
to ask yourself, because this is the stage in your life when the reality
of the real working world is right around the corner. Therefore, what
steps you take now, with regards to work experience, will have a direct
bearing on the career path you choose later on. It is much
easier to land that dream job when you already have some experience
behind you. That is why doing an internship is truly an advantage for you.
An Internship is a cooperative
learning activity which provides a student with non-classroom
professional experience related to the student's career goals. An
Internship is not the same as a part time job. It is a course of study.

Doing an internship will help you to avoid that common
dilemma that many students face after graduation. When companies are
looking to hire, you will not be turned away because you do not have the
practical work experience that many employers are looking for. In other
words, you will have a little more ammunition to run on. In such a
competitive market, making sure you are on the top is a priority. (Source: Career and Placement Service, Concordia University)
