MK499 Marketing Internship

Why Internships?

Internships are important because they provide a bridge between education and the workforce, offering a multitude of benefits, including practical experience, skill development, networking opportunities, resume building, exploration, academic integration, confidence, and a pathway to future career success. According to a national study, students and young professionals with internship experience are 35% more likely to get at least one job offer after graduating than those without internship experience. Those with internship experience were also found to have a median salary that is 27% higher. In short, internships are a valuable investment in one's professional development.
