It's an American thing to have a summer internship?
How else are you supposed to gain work experience? Part time throughout the year?
- Jensson 5y agoYou don't need summer work experience to get a job. You just apply when you graduate.
- 908B64B197 5y agoIs that the norm outside of America?
- xboxnolifes 5y agoInternships need not be during the summer. I took, and was expected to by my college, 2 semester breaks where I had internships (as well as 1 summer).
- 908B64B197 5y agoWhy not just do them during the summer and graduate faster? Less competition for winter internships I suppose.
- xboxnolifes 5y agoSemesters were longer than summer break, so the intent was longer internships. Also, we were encouraged to take an internship that spanned over a summer + semester so there was enough time to get up to speed and do meaningful work. Plus, like you said, competition. There is a lot more available time for internships if you accept doing them outside of just June - August.
