A number of tertiary courses require students to undertake a period of unpaid work at companies or organisation as part of their programme. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of course requirement?

Recently, there has been a heated discussion in society about whether

students

should do unpaid

internships

during

school

. Some believe it benefits

students

,

while

others believe it does more harm than good. In my opinion, the advantages of doing

internships

during

school

far outweigh the disadvantages. On the one hand, during some unpaid

internships

,

students

can put into practice what they have learned during

school

so that they can apply what they have learned. It can help them realize in advance what they need to do to work after leaving

school

.

In addition

, they can learn about the hardships of going to work and the complicated social relationships in advance. They can learn to deal with the relationship between superiors, subordinates, and colleagues through

this

precious opportunity.

This

will help them find jobs more easily after graduation. They can

also

realize that the hard work of making money can

also

cultivate their thrifty character.

On the other hand

, some argue that these on-campus

internships

are not real jobs and that

students

are less motivated because they don't get paid.

Moreover

, the number of

internships

is limited, some

students

cannot get

internship

opportunities, and the

internship

time will be greatly shortened without playing its due role, and

students

cannot experience what they want to do.

To sum up

, the limited number of

internship

places can be solved by expanding cooperation between schools and enterprises. Other incentives can

also

be given to

internship

students

.

Therefore

, I think the advantages of doing an

internship

while

on campus far outweigh the disadvantages.
