Early on in your career you are looking for a foot in the door. Internships can offer a great chance to be exposed to a certain industry and test your skills.
However, as Ivey's Sharon Irwin-Foulon explains for Profit Guide, companies need to create a rich internship experience so it can pay off for both the intern and the employer.
“Interns want a meaningful placement, the opportunity to build their resume and contribute to the company,” explains Sharon Irwin-Foulon, Executive Director of Career Management and Corporate Recruiting at Ivey. “Good assignments for interns take different forms. For example, working on a research project relating to a new product is one possibility. Assisting in putting on an event for customers is another option.”
