    Internships are bridges between colleges and Industry

    A good understanding between academic institutions and industry is very important these days. An Industry is a customer to academic institutions. These institutions will be in demand as long as they produce stuff required or suitable to the industry.

    A student who comes out of college should fit in a space available in the industry. Then only chances for a job will become high. This is the reason why apprenticeships or internships are designed. A student should go for these internships before he completes his degree so that by the time he finishes his degree he will get a fair idea of the expectations from him by the industry.

    Many colleges already started sending their students for internships in some industries. It will be more like an on-the-job training. Can the members share their views on this subject?

    No education is complete without practical or hands on experience. It is only the practical application of knowledge that makes a person skilled in that arena.
    Internship bridges that gap by involving the student in some live project and utilise the knowledge to successfully complete the project. When a student is associated with some senior in the industry while doing internship then there is a great learning opportunity for the student as the senior would transfer his experience in a seamless way to the learner.
    Many educational institutions are having connections in the industry for providing an adequate internship to the student and the student should take advantage of the opportunity.

    Knowledge is power.

    Many companies are nowadays offering internship programs to the eligible candidates to gain practical knowledge in a particular area. These are useful courses in the sense that they prepare the students for working in the tough industrial and business environment.
    The duration of such courses is generally short of the order of a few months but the experience gained is much more and is helpful for the student to cope up and work smoothly in the assignment given to him in his job.
    Earlier when internship programs were not common, the students had to learn after joining the job but there were many bottlenecks and problems that they had to face in learning. One was the indifferent behaviour of some seniors and other was the competition among the new employees.
    By doing internship today this phase can be bypassed.

    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    In case, the students are offered the opportunity to work in the internship programmes during their duration between the two sessions, they should gladly accept the same. Life becomes dull if no activity is made to one's liking. At least, accepting the internship programs provide us an opportunity to meet experienced people having a huge experience in a particular domain and working with such people can provide the aspirants exciting experience in the similar line.
    The learning apettite must not be shrunk if it is coming in the way of our learning - processes. Such opportunities are encashable in due time. The other advantage by undertaking such responsibilities are to keep ourselves active both physically and mentally.

    This is really good for students to try internships while they're in college. They're like getting a sneak peek into the real world of work. They get to learn new things, meet interesting people, and see what they like and don't like. Plus, it can help them figure out what they want to do after graduation. It's a chance to grow and learn, and it can make a big difference in their future career.

    True! Internships serve as vital bridges between academic institutions and the industry. They provide students with invaluable real-world experience, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings. Through internships, students gain exposure to industry practices, develop relevant skills, and build professional networks.

    It's true that Internships would make the students familiar with hands-on experience with Industry and it would facilitate the pre-job experience for the students who are going to take their Degree very shortly. Sometimes their performance in the Internship will give them an offer of appointment in the same company. Thus they are the real time providers for exploring the talent of the student who in turn comes to know about world outside through this exposure.
