Why should you get an internship?

Let Hayley Mears, workforce development manager, explain. According to Mears,

Internships can help provide the talent pipeline, our youth can get real work experience that correlates with the curricula that they’re learning in the colleges, they can develop those soft skills, many internships lead to a job afterwords, and we know that interns are more likely to get a job six months or go into grad school. On average we know that students that do an internship in college make more money when they enter the workforce than students who don’t.
