Internships<\/a><\/strong>, as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is work performed by an undergraduate or recent graduate in order to gain experience. Here in the Philippines, almost everyone has to go through it with\u00a0many\u00a0universities requiring you to go out into the world and get actual experience. If you’re the ultra driven type, you’ve probably even got more than one internship under your belt, all under the name of wanting to prepare themselves for the \u201coutside world.\u201d Due to the high number of students taking internships every year some companies even have specialized internship programs. Gone are the days of the intern getting coffee or being an expert at photocopying things. Different companies like Unilever, Proctor and Gamble, Nestle, Philip Morris, and many more in the Philippines turn the internship experience into a full on learning and training experience. But, how far does the learning really go? Kalibrr asks interns from different industries: How do you feel about your internship?

\"\"\u00a0These snippets from the different interns show that being the intern doesn’t mean just\u00a0menial tasks. Internships have become an opportunity for college students to experience being treated like adults and immersing themselves in the \u201creal world.\u201d With different programs and specialized positions that help them figure out what they want to do in the future post-graduation, internships are an experience undergraduates should savor every minute of. If we take it from these Filipino students, the payment for the work is everything you get to learn in the process.<\/p>\n
