Dr Himanshu Goel, Associate Professor, Jims Rohini

Summer internships significantly enhance the employability of PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) students by offering practical experience, industry exposure, and professional networking possibilities. These internships enable students to apply theoretical information acquired in academic settings to practical business situations, therefore connecting academics with industry. Interns develop vital competencies, like problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective communication, via practical assignments and projects, which are much esteemed by employers.

Internships provide students the opportunity to investigate various industries and roles within the business realm, aiding them in making educated career decisions. Through collaboration with experts and mentors, interns acquire knowledge about industry trends, best practices, and organizational cultures. This experience enhances their comprehension and increases their adaptability, equipping them for the evolving work market.

Furthermore, summer internships often function as a conduit for permanent work opportunities. Numerous organizations use internships as a mechanism to find and attract potential, offering students a road to get employment offers prior to graduation. The connections and networks established during internships may be important, often resulting in employment recommendations and professional endorsements. Moreover, internships augment students' resumes, distinguishing them from prospective employers. The practical experience and achievements included in their CVs illustrate their capacity to contribute meaningfully to a firm, so enhancing their prospects of securing preferred positions. Summer internships are essential for providing PGDM students with the skills, experience, and networks required for professional success.

At JIMS Sector 5 Rohini, summer internships serve not just as a necessity but as an essential catalyst for success. The institution equips its PGDM graduates with practical experience, industry-relevant skills, and networking opportunities, ensuring they are employable and equipped to excel in their respective industries.
