Internships a balancing act for adult students Posted by Moira Kelley, University of Wiscons-

For instance, 63 percent of the students wanted to do internships but could not for various reasons, especially a lack of time due to a heavy course load or the need to work a paid job. Internships can be particularly challenging for adult students if they offer little or no pay. Students who land an internship can find it an excellent opportunity to field test a new career pathway, get a foot in the door of a new organization or build professional networks. Research shows that it is critical to have an experienced mentor, realistic and challenging workplace tasks, and ample feedback from your supervisor to ensure a good internship experience.
