Do Internships Really Help?
Yes! Landing an internship or apprenticeship isn't just another box to check for school, it's your chance to test-drive a career before spending your time and money on college or training you might not even like.
The real world benefits to doing an internship or apprenticeship are huge, especially if you start looking early:
- Clear Direction: 87% of student interns say the experience completely helped them figure out what career path they wanted to pursue after high school. (National Association of Colleges and Employers)
- Earning Potential: Graduates who finish registered apprenticeship programs step right into the workforce with an average starting salary of $77,000. (U.S. Department of Labor / apprenticeship.gov)
- Stand Out From the Crowd: When hiring managers have to choose between two otherwise identical resumes, having relevant internship experience is the #1 factor they use to pick the winner. (National Association of Colleges and Employers)
When it comes to building your future, it is never too early to start looking. Securing an internship or apprenticeship takes time, planning, and a bit of research, but the payoff is worth the effort.
