It was fun to look back and reflect on my first summer internship experience over two decades ago for The Switchboard’s recent edition on learnings from summer jobs and internships. Thanks Julia Levy for the feature. My first summer internship was on a manufacturing floor at GE. I was a 19-year-old kid there to help make the jobs of individuals who had worked on the line for 30+ years easier. I quickly realized that getting work done depended on first building trust and credibility through non-work-related conversations, and over time, achieving small wins to eventually be trusted to drive sustainable change. Building trust still remains an integral part of driving change in everything I do, as it lays the foundation for effective collaboration, meaningful relationships, and sustainable success.

Internships play a pivotal role in shaping the future of college students by providing invaluable real-world experience and practical skills that cannot be acquired solely through academic coursework. These opportunities offer students a glimpse into their chosen field, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in a professional setting, develop crucial professional networks, and gain insights into industry practices and trends. They enhance students' resumes, making them more competitive in the job market upon graduation. Overall, internships serve as a bridge between academia and the professional world, equipping students with the tools and experiences necessary for success in their respective careers. #Internships #NationalInternshipMonth #CareerServices #ProfessionalDevelopment #StudentProfessionalDevelopment #ETS

#Internship is beneficial for both the intern and the organization. It gives the intern exposure to real job challenges, leveraging ascending learning curve for young interns and also benefits organization with fresh blood and out of the box ideas coming without the constraints of normal day-to-day duties..
