If you are a high school student preparing to attend college, one thing you should be thinking about is applying for internships. Not only does an internship look really good on your student profile, but there are many other benefits as well. Here are just a few reasons to consider applying for internships before you attend college.

  • Explore career options – There is a big difference between theory and practice. Getting a little experience working in a particular field may help you to see if it is really something you want to do as a career.
  • Increase your experience – Later on, when you are looking for an entry-level position, you may be competing with other graduates. Actual work experience could set you apart and help you to find a job after graduation. You also gain a degree of professionalism that can only be developed by being part of the workforce.
  • Network – When you intern, you meet people in the industry you want to be a part of. These connections may help you to find a job faster after graduation. You may even be able to work for the company where you had your internship.
