Relationships of Paid and Unpaid Internships, and Source for Obtaining, to Early COVID-19 Stage Anticipated Employment Outcomes

Abstract: This study investigated the relationships of paid and unpaid internships to anticipated employment outcomes for graduating college business students.

Researchers emphasize that, through internships, students can receive work experience, develop and hone their professional skills, and establish critical networks for their future careers (Maertz et al, 2014;Blau, 2022). Ideally, internships help prepare students for fastpaced, highly competitive, and rapidly changing job markets.…”
