Internships are the best way through which individuals get a chance to work with highly skilled leaders, learn how to be proficient in professional life and get to know the way any corporation functions. To be specific, doing internships can equip esteemed individuals to gain practical experience that makes them distinct from those who don’t have testimony of experience. Any kind of internship, be it traditional in-person or virtual, results in the personal and professional growth of the interns and helps them thrive in life.
However, some of the biggest challenges that most students face in Bangladesh are getting traditional in-person internship programs due to a lack of networking, commuting problems, complexities in the application process, rigid eligibility requirements, and so forth.
