Internship
Internships not only give a practical idea of the type of career students are interested in, but also give an excellent way to boost their resumes and improve their college and scholarship applications. Any real-life work experience, like volunteer work or community service or an internship, is surely going to help any student. High school internships assist them in gaining some experience in the desired field.
The internships offer opportunities to the students to make good use of the knowledge they have learned in school. Through internships they can gain many valuable experiences, like the ability to experience the work environment in the field they plan to work in. This way the students are given the hands-on experiences, what working in the field would be like and what type of jobs are available. This can help them make a decision whether their chosen field of study is something they will want to continue with. Thus internships present unique and meaningful opportunities for career exploration.
In addition to getting first-hand perspective of a career, students get acquainted with what it is like to have an actual job. Students develop essential workplace skills like knowledge about how to communicate in a professional environment, the use of teamwork balanced with individual responsibility, mentoring relationships, and the chance to develop industry-specific skills while still in high school. The experience also offers a way for better understanding of industry expectations and promotes increased motivation.
While on an internship program, students should put in their best of efforts to do the work which is assigned to them. They must try to be as helpful as possible to other employees and their supervisors. A positive attitude will get you good recognition. If everything goes as planned and your supervisor is happy with your work performance, you can ask for a letter of recommendation. Getting a recommendation letter from a source outside of school gives the impression of a well-rounded person with interests other than school and can help you stand out from other college applicants.
