How to Prepare For a College Internship

By Vickie Faria

Many students feel unprepared to enter the working world after graduating from college. They begin to realize that the terms and concepts that they should have spent more time taking note of during their years in college actually do apply to the real world. They then begin to panic, thinking that they may not find a good paying job, or if they do find a good paying job, they may fear they will not be good enough for the position.

One way that students can begin applying their classroom knowledge to the working world before graduating from college and completely entering their career field is to take a college internship. An internship college can be a great way to gain real world experience and to make students feel more comfortable with the idea of entering their career field. Once they do find a college internship that they would like to complete, however, many students still feel the panic that they do not know enough to enter the working world.

One way students can prepare for a college internship is to ask their new employer what concepts they should review before beginning the job. If the student has a fairly good idea of the types of projects they will be completing during the internship college, they can review their classroom work as a way to prepare for the college internship. The student can also consult with any previous interns for the internship college if they know the previous interns because they will have a good idea of what knowledge is needed and how to prepare for the college internship.
