![](http://blogs.jccc.edu/honorsstudents/files/2022/06/image.png?w=640)
Securing an internship can be challenging within the first two years of college, but it is so valuable! Here are some reasons why:
- It goes without saying that hands-on work experience will allow you to develop and refine skills, gain confidence, and therefore make you more competitive in the job environment you have selected for your career.
- An internship may allow you to explore a career path you had not considered or realize that the career path you had been considering was really not the right fit for you!
- You may get some immediate financial benefits!
- You can earn credit for one Exploratory Experience by submitting a reflection after completing twenty hours of internship!
