实习 are a great way to expand your educational experiences in your chosen field of study. They build valuable résumé content and help you determine what you may (or may not) want to do in your professional life. The job market for recent college graduates is typically rather competitive and research has shown that students with one or more internships find jobs sooner and start at higher salaries than those who never undertook an internship.

These opportunities enhance a student’s understanding of the work-a-day-world in ways that pure classroom learning cannot fully address. 他们提供专业的工作经验和, 经常, allow you to generate a portfolio of proven productivity that you may 然后 present to prospective employers. 另外, 实习服务可以帮助你建立自信, “软技能”(如人际沟通), 以及网络的可能性.
