What is an internship?
An internship is a paid or unpaid work experience, with the intention of giving students and recent graduates an opportunity to gain skills, knowledge and work experience in their field of study.
An internship is not:
- A trial run at the company where you want to be hired after college.
- A job that should require the same amount of skill as a regular employee’s position would require. For example, if you’re an intern working as a software engineer, you shouldn’t be expected to write code for new features for your company’s product as part of your daily responsibilities—that would fall under someone else’s job description!
The benefits of doing an internship include: learning about how your chosen industry works in practice; getting familiar with specific skills related to that industry; strengthening existing relationships with mentors and contacts via networking opportunities at events hosted by companies where interns can meet one another; gaining valuable experience that will make it easier when applying for jobs after graduation (or even while still in college).

Do I need to fill out an application?
You’ll need to fill out an application. The employer will likely ask for your resume, a cover letter, and references. It’s important to ensure that the information on these documents is correct before submitting them. You may also be asked for additional information (like transcripts or certifications), so it’s good to have these ready as well.
When do I start my internship?
We don’t want to get too specific, but there are general guidelines for when you should start an internship. You want to make sure the company can do what they say they will do and that you’re ready for your duties. If a company is willing to take on an intern, they will likely have a lot of expectations for you. The best way to know if this internship is right for you is by asking questions about what type of work needs done at the company and how much time it will take up in your day-to-day schedule.

What should my responsibilities be as an intern?
As an intern, your responsibilities include:
- Do your job. All tasks assigned to you should be completed in a timely and efficient manner. You must also be willing to work hard and be productive at all times during the internship program.
- Learn from your supervisor. Your boss will teach you valuable skills that will prepare you for entry level jobs after graduation, so make sure that they know what they’re doing! Ask them questions when necessary, take notes during meetings, and pay attention while shadowing their colleagues on their trips outside of the office. If they don’t seem like they’re as knowledgeable as they could be about their job (or any other topic), ask someone else who has more experience so that it doesn’t negatively affect your work ethic or future career prospects.”

How often should I check in with my supervisor?
Notes: You should check in with your supervisor regularly. Not only is it a good way to stay on top of things, but it will also help them get a sense of how you are doing and what they can do to help you succeed.
- When you have a question or need feedback, ask your supervisor! Instead of trying to figure out why something isn’t working right and spending hours trying to fix it, just ask someone who knows the answer (or at least has an idea).
- If you complete another task, then tell them about it! A lot of interns forget about this one, but supervisors tend to appreciate knowing that their interns are hard at work and making progress towards completing their projects successfully.
Internships are great opportunities to learn while working in your industry.
