In the article, he talks about the five Vs that students can gain through internships:
- Venture out of your comfort zone
- Variety
- Value
- Vision
- Virtual/hybrid experiences
He elaborates further: "Internships give students a wonderful platform to establish relationships and acquaintances – your network is your net worth. Building critical professional connections before graduation can be handy when they have to pursue a full-time job after completing their courses."
