Engineering Internship Culture In Karachi

As end of semester approaches, many undergraduate students are either looking for internships or already have one by now.

Unfortunately, the major purpose of students for doing internships is that it strengthens the CV. Obviously it does. But internships are meant for something much more rather than just looking good on CV. To keep it short, internships are more about developing skills and growing your network. Or you might even find your future employer.

A lot of students would rather go for ‘big names’, where they learn almost nothing. Lucky enough they would give you the tour of the facility and tell you about how the certain machine works. And even when the work is given it’s more about updating database! Why do you need an engineering student for updating the database?

Moreover, it’s becoming quite common for students to come and brag about how they only went for 2 days in a week and yet got the appreciation letter for completing the whole internship.

Honestly speaking those ‘big names’ on CV with no skills won’t do you any good. There is no point doing an internship if you aren’t learning something new. Relevant experience and skills will help you grow your career. Google around there are a lot new startups popping up, not many people would have heard of them but the learning experience at such places are great. You actually get hands-on experience and build things. And if you can’t find a good enough internship, do a course instead, work on your technical skills or build projects! Just do something fun and learn something new!
