Internships are important because they help test the waters and introduce students to the professional world. Many students have no idea what they want to do for a living so this is a good tryout. They also need to learn about engagement on the job and adherence to policies such as punctuality, dress codes, codes of conduct, and other issues related to business etiquette. And they need professional contacts and mentors who they can go back to later with questions, requests for references, and in some cases, job prospects.
