Internships are crucial as they bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application, providing students with hands-on experience in their chosen fields. They offer a unique opportunity to develop professional skills, gain industry insights, and build a network of contacts, all of which enhance employability. Internships also allow individuals to explore their career interests, confirm their career choices, and gain a competitive edge in the job market.
