The internship program on college completes the learning task of a college education. It is submerging one self in the world of work. It tests the skill of the student to recall abilities acquired during the college days.
Students often ask if the subject they took during college is correlated with the real world. Can they use these subjects in dealing with the people in their world? Can we use Algebra, Calculus, Integral Math, etc. in dealing with buildings and work mates? In the opinions of these neophyte students these subjects are not related with the kind of course that we take.
These are just the opinions of the students. Yet, as they grow up and experience the whole wide world we then understand the importance of every subject we took during college. That the ability to analyze and think are polished and practiced while solving mathematical equation not only to measure inches and meters by the engineering students. Or the algebraic equations solve by the psychology, education, etc. graduates helped them enhance their thinking skills that they use to understand human behavior.
That internship is just part of polishing and testing the aptitude and competence of every individual. That internship abroad is one way of learning new concepts accepted globally. That internship abroad is a sure fire way of showing all you got and what you learned through college.
