Internships & Their Benefits For Cooking Students

By Katie Arden


There are many ways in which credits can be earned by college students across the board. However, I'd like to think that people should be most familiar with internships, since they are the ones that many campuses require their students to fulfill. Even though they may be required, I am sure many will ask the question, "What's in it for me in the long run?" If you are talking about long-term benefits associated with internships, there is quite a bit to go over.

One of the best perks about an internship is that it is able to give you hands-on experience in just about any job you can imagine. Let's say that your focus is on pastry-baking and you want to expand your skills; it's entirely possible to learn under a baker while understanding sanitation as it relates to the workplace. You may not be able to gain this information from the classroom. Sometimes the best way to learn is to get out into the world and earn real-life experience.

It's worth noting that internships are able to break up the monotony which many college students can feel from day to day. Let's be honest: it can be tiring to sit down in a classroom from day to day without any sort of break thrown in during the week. With this in mind, you may find that an internship can break things up, allowing you to take part in a different scenario with different tasks to complete. It's a unique change that will help you to appreciate education that much more.

What about the idea of flexibility as it pertains to internships, though? Many students do not want to spend too much time each day at a certain location, which is why they may be there for only a few hours each day. Others may want more of a work-day experience and this is where they will spend more hours at said location but throughout fewer days. As long as you go about your internship with your overall schedule in mind, you'll find that this opportunity will be that much more beneficial.

Even though it's important for classes to be taken in school, internships can be just as important, if not more so. The reason for this is because, if you'd like to know, internships can actually be listed on your resume, which is tremendous to say the least. Your resume is going to look even better because of said position, provided you have fulfilled the right amount of hours and possess the right reputation. If these are true, you may be able to get even more out of your internship than originally believed.
