Gaining relevant experience can be just as important when starting your career.

Let us understand why internships and project experience matter:

1. Building Skills

Internships and projects allow you to apply what you’ve learned in real-world settings.

When you have hands-on experience, it shows your practical skills that are not developed through coursework alone.

Example

If you interned as a software developer, you likely worked on:

• coding projects
• debugging issues
• collaborating with a team

All of the above are key skills for a full-time role.
