什么是实习?

实习是一次学习冒险, 获得专业经验的通行证, and an opportunity for you to synthesize what you’ve learned in your classes and put it into practice in a real-world setting. But it’s much more than that — an internship takes you outside of the classroom and gives you the chance to gain first-hand experience of your career path. 这是一个让你开阔眼界的机会, 磨练你的学术和专业技能, 巩固你对未来的愿景.
