INTERNSHIP

The most significant benefit that is provided by the internship is the possibility to get to know the profession, which the respective person is mastering. The best way to do so is to be present in a real working environment and in close contact with the duties of specialists of the chosen profession.

Work experience

Another important benefit of an internship is the ability to gain real practical experience. The data about an internship should also be included in one’s CV, since the “Work experience” section will most likely be fairly empty right after finishing one’s studies. When looking for a job after graduating from university, a CV with an internship that has been done at a specific company, as well as a list of duties carried out, will most certainly be more interesting to your future employer. You should also ask for references from your internship providers!

Practical knowledge

An internship provides knowledge and tips from specialists of a specific field, which can only be obtained in a real working environment. Therefore, it is important to ask various questions and strive to learn more during the internship, as well as show initiative and have the desire to do more than is asked from you in the internship regulations of your university.

Taking into account that the aim of an internship is the expansion of a student’s knowledge, there is no renumeration offered for the internship within the company. An internship is a great way to prove one’s potential and start moving up the career ladder already during studies or right after graduation.

Benefits for the company

Various benefits are gained by the students, as well as the company that is offering the internship. The company can assess the level of preparedness of future specialists of the field and how it conforms to the needs of the market. The company can provide proposals to universities, which, based on observations, can enhance their study programmes in order to improve the level of education of future specialists. A real contribution provided by interns at a company is the reduction in the volume of work and assistance during the annual holidays of colleagues. The best interns are often offered career possibilities at the company.
