Written by Catherine King | Nov 4, 2024 10:48:16 AM

Landing a dream job in contracting or commerce isn't always easy. Employers are looking for more than just a degree - they want to see practical experience, initiative, and a genuine understanding of the business world. That's where internships come in. They're not just a resume builder; they're a strategic move to gain valuable, practical skills and propel your career forward.

Why are internships the ultimate career hack?

  • Real-world application: Forget the textbooks and dive headfirst into real-world projects! Internships bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, allowing you to hone your skills in a dynamic environment. Imagine applying your contracting knowledge to negotiations in a real deal. That's the power of an internship.
  • Skill development: Internships are like a fast-track program for developing essential workplace skills. You'll sharpen your communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities – skills that are highly sought after in any contracting or commerce role.
  • Career pathfinder: Still exploring your options in the world of commerce and contracting? Internships offer a fantastic opportunity to test-drive different roles and industries. Gain firsthand experience in areas like contracting, procurement, supply chain management, or business development and discover your true calling.
  • Networking: Forge connections with industry professionals, expand your network, and potentially unlock future job opportunities. An internship can open doors to mentors, future colleagues, and even potential employers.
  • Employability booster: Internships demonstrate your commitment to professional development and your eagerness to learn. It's a powerful signal to employers that you're proactive and ready to contribute.
  • Cultivate confidence: Successfully completing an internship instills confidence and provides a sense of accomplishment. You'll gain valuable experience and be well-prepared for the transition from academia to the professional sphere.

Why are internships essential for your business?

  • Access to fresh perspectives: Interns bring new ideas and energy to your team, offering a different perspective on existing challenges and processes.
  • Develop future talent: Mold the next generation of professionals by providing hands-on experience and mentoring, potentially creating a pipeline of future employees who are already familiar with your company.
  • Identify future leaders: Observe interns' strengths and interests firsthand, allowing you to identify potential leaders and match them with suitable roles within your organization.
  • Gain a valuable resource: Interns are highly motivated to learn and contribute, providing valuable support to your team.
