The Internship College Pro

By Vickie Faria

College is a fascinating and rewarding experience for students. For those who are fortunate enough to attend college, the information obtained from classes can be invaluable. Still, there are alternatives to a typical classroom experience. A college internship provides a memorable opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in their field.

Many students fear that by having an internship, college life will be more difficult to manage. This is not necessarily true. By managing time wisely and finding an internship that works well with their schedule, students can succeed both at the internship and with their other courses. Having an internship should enhance the college experience, not hurt it. It is important to consult a college advisor for assistance in determining what type of internship will work out best for the student's academic and personal life.

Finding and landing the right internship can require a lot of work without the right connections. Some students have family members or associates that can easily land them the type of internship they desire. Others have to put in a little more work. For those who think they don't have the resources to land an internship, college professors can be of great use. They too have advice and connections that are helpful in the student's search. There are also several websites and agencies that take a student's information and place them with an appropriate company for an internship.

For those fortunate enough to work an internship, college can turn out to be the liaison between basic school and a taste of the real world. The experience can be enough to put a student's foot quite literally in the door.
