Intrnships allow the student to test their knowledge and refine their skills under the guidance of a preceptor. Clinical experiences provide the student the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills and develop decision making skills safely.
I like that the internships help students be more prepared for what the workforce will be like in their field so it decreases turnover.
By providing internship opportunities aligned with students' career goals, we can help students gain confidence and contribute effectively in professional settings.
Internship is a temporary job that helps student gain hands on skills and communication.
A student internship helps develop professional skills and behaviors: Attendance, professional mannerisms, making ethical decisions, networking, resume' building, increasing interview skills, and time management - just to name a few.
Internships/Field experience can be mutually beneficial for the employer and the student by filling in gaps.
