Excellent opportunities can be obtained, The Virtual Internship environment can nurture and perfect skills for future employment. Most internships can begin after the first completed year of study.
Internships are particularly beneficial to individuals who are thinking of a career change. These individuals can obtain excellent work experience, build a portfolio, and become comfortable networking.

This section provides a good overview of the benefits of an internship. I had one in college and it was an amazing experience.
An internship is definitly a plus for all parties.

An inturnship will help the employer to better understand which skills an intern have or need iimprovement on and if they have the right insight or attitude for the position before actually hiring them. It also helps the intern to make a better decision whether or not the career path they have choosen is right for them. It also helps the education facility with placing graduates in the best areas to match their skills and possibly cut down on the number of times to help place the graduate in jobs.
In this section I learned about experiential learning, which is a student-centered way to provide educational experience to students outside of on-ground classroom experience. This will include field experience and/or internship for students.
This is type of leaning that will improve students’ opportunities for job skills, human relations skills, etc. Students have opportunity to practice early employment experiences whatever their future jobs will require. This will be a great carrier development opportunity or students while in school. My students as future nurses, usually take clinical classes in hospitals while still in school, which is a great example of an experiential learning for them.
Internships provide and excellent opportunity for a win:win situation. The employee gains experience and networking opportunities and the employer gains a comitted employee.
