Why do an internship?
Internships can help you:
- Learn first hand about a career field.
- Make decisions about your future.
- Gain confidence in yourself as a valued member of a work environment
- Expand your view of the world.
- Gain contacts and recommendations.
- Receive job or grad school offers.
An internship gives you the chance to get to know a career field without making a long-term commitment.
We encourage you to take a risk, challenge yourself and expand your view of the world. As one Smith alumna put it, “Don’t limit yourself – go after your dream internship because it can certainly happen!”
Think about what you’d like to gain from an internship. What are your goals?
