In the United States, internships are quite common. Internships are a great way for students to gain practical experience in the field they want to pursue a career in. Internships are offered by companies for many reasons. The main advantage is that they are usually non-paid and offer very low salaries. Also, the time period is usually short. Interpositions allow companies to hire highly motivated individuals willing to work hard for a low or zero cost. There are many types of internships available, including those with corporations, law firms and government agencies, as well as museums, hospitals, and interest groups. Statistics show that 86 percent of college students completed internships in 2000, compared with 36 percent in 1980.

Internships are offered to people with little work experience as a way of gaining job skills. Although internships aren’t considered regular-paying jobs, they can lead to a salary. Internships offer opportunities to work in companies one might not be able to apply for if they have limited work experience. If the company chooses to hire the intern on a permanent basis, the hard work can pay off. A completed internship is a great way to show potential employers on a resume or CV. There are thousands of interns working in many different fields in the United States as well as internationally.

The practical experience gained from internships can be used to help you get a job in the future. While most employers now offer internships due to the competitive market, some do not pay interns. It is important to pick your internship based on your career goals, not your immediate salary and benefits.
