Article summary
Many colleges and universities provide opportunities for advanced students to combine work and academic experiences in the form of internships. These structured work experiences are sponsored by a variety of academic programs , such as departments of business, industrial relations, nursing ,and communications. The benefits of internships are general assumed to be many although there has been little empirical work done to evaluate these experiences. It was hypothesized that internships; (1) assist students in the “Crystallization of vocational self-concept” ( e.g,. perceived job interests); (2) make the transition from school to work easier; (3) result in greater employment opportunities for students with these experiences than those without. Specific predictions based on various objective criteria were associated with each hypothesis. For example, hypothesis #3 was tested by looking at number of job offers, accepted salary, ratings of job satisfaction, and ratings by employers of intern performance.
