The value of internships

I am sure you’ve heard at least one of your elder siblings or cousins whine about an internship! For all of you university students who are aspiring to enter the world of jobs and employment, internships are one of the best ways for you to gain exposure to life after academia. Some internship is run through university programs while others are run through summer and winter breaks. For universities in Bangladesh, internships are usually part of one semester. Grading is also done based on your internship report. The significance of internships has been growing. The trend is reflected in the increasing number of programs in which major international universities have made undergraduate internships compulsory and a part of at least one semester in the junior or senior year. Typically, at the end of the semester, you have to submit a formal report on the internship experience to your course instructor. Some of the business schools also require formal presentations from students on their experience as a part of the course curriculum. It is worthwhile noting that even masters' programs nowadays also emphasize on internships as part of their selection criteria. North American business schools are adamant about work experience, while Asian graduate schools are also pursuing more experience. Remember, a great postgraduate application is not just about good grades and great recommendations; it is also about your resume, which highlights your work experience and details how you have made an impact on the society from your position. Identifying internships is not a very hard task; there are many opportunities out there. You only need to find the one that fits your best. You can go out individually and apply for internships on offer from various companies and NGOs. Sometimes the application process can be quite rigorous and always quite competitive, so it’s essential that you do all that you can to make sure you are well prepared for any such opportunity. Not only does internships enable you to build your resume for a postgrad application, but also put you in touch with great mentors and peers. In some cases, companies also hire high-performers from their brilliant internship pool; Goldman Sachs and City just to name a couple. Once you complete an internship, you will come out more equipped for the outside world. The benefits are twofold. When it comes to hiring, you can get short-listed for the best jobs at the best international companies, and when it comes to postgraduate applications you are at a distinct advantage.
