College Internship - Expanding Classroom Knowledge

By Violet Williams

College courses are great to give you the knowledge needed for your career field. You will likely be taught the principles used in the career and be given a base knowledge of how to apply those principles. However, some students report from their personal experiences that the greatest amount of learning occurred outside of the classroom.

Some students say that they learned the most and gained invaluable tools needed for their career field from a college internship. It's amazing how much you can learn from a three month internship versus a year in a classroom. Not to say that classroom learning is not useful because you gain the knowledge needed to start out in a job and also to land an internship college. A college internship however can give you the opportunity to apply that base knowledge and expand it in real life situations.

Not all college internship opportunities provide you with the same hands on experience however. Unfortunately, some students take an internship college where they are stuck filing papers and running errands all day. To ensure that you get the most out of your internship college experience, it is beneficial to fully discuss what projects you will be completing and how many responsibilities you will be given before accepting the college internship.

A college internship can be a wonderful opportunity to expand your classroom knowledge, you just have to be sure you find the right one. Do some research on available internship opportunities and take some time to think about which one would be the best for you before accepting the job to make sure you are maximizing your opportunities.
