Internships provide a window of opportunity to those looking for hands-on experience to enhance their relevant knowledge and skills required for a particular career field. Short term in nature, Internship is all about applying the theoretical knowledge of the classroom into the real world. Usually, a supervisor assigns specific tasks and does the evaluation of the allotted work. These intern programmes are proving to be very beneficial to every organization. Below are the five benefits of having an internship program in your organization:

1. Streamlining of recruitment drive
Through intern program a company can search a better qualified candidate who is most suitable for the job. Interns give reviews about the intern program and they can refer qualified candidates for the company. These interns can be hired for full time employment if they have proved their worth for the company. Moreover, a company can judge their strength and weakness efficiently which is not very apparent in their resume.

2. Cultivating the crop of tomorrow's Manpower.
By hiring the interns a company is not only providing benefits to itself, infact it is also providing support and skills to the students through employment and training. To put in other way, the company is paying back to the society.

3. Learning with the Interns
It is not that only Interns are getting the opportunity to learn and grow but as a fact of the matter you will also learn while teaching them and answering their queries about organisation, technology and workforce etc. To be a able mentor or teacher employees need to be equipped with required knowledge and skills in order to answer their queries.

4. Widening of the Horizons
Younger generation (or shall I say digital generation) is equipped with modern technology, connected with social media and plugged with digital devices to accomplish their task quickly and efficiently. Learning never ends, therefore, the employees should not shy from learning while teaming up with interns in order to produce innovative products and services for the company.

5. Saving on the Cost
Company can save on its costs and resources while extending this wonderful opportunity i.e., internship to interns who are ready to take on the world. Generally, a company spends a lot on its employees in terms of salaries, allowances, pensions, packages etc. but in case of interns they just need to provide the relevant exposure to the interns who in turn provide their knowledge and innovative ideas to the company. It is a win-win situation for both parties.

How we fare today – The scene of the classroom has completely changed in the modern times. The focus has shifted from teaching to development and subjects are changing from the conventional ones to those that influence the personality growth and development of the students. More stress is given to learning subjects that interest the students than the stock subjects.
