Benefits of Internships

Students will get a taste of a career path, improve their resume, and gain a job reference in that field. 

  • Data shows that participating in work-based learning programs increases employment success, knowledge about career fields, and adaptability to work with colleagues, motivation, and skills to self-advocate for accommodations.
  • Students with disabilities have 4 x more difficulty gaining employment and will have a higher chance of employment after having internships
  • According to a Research Brief on Disability Recruitment and Hiring, businesses that have internship programs for people with disabilities were 4.5 times more likely to hire a person with a disability than businesses without such a program.
