OPINIONS @GeorgeAnneOps 4 Tuesday, Mar. 26, 2013 The George-Anne Our View Internships a necessary experience Georgia Southern University needs to do more to help students actually acquire a job with the degree that is earned. Students are facing more challenges than ever when looking for a job upon graduation. Student debt is at an all-time high, and many end up being unable to fully repay the student loans that they require. GSU should look for more ways to assist students. GSU’s Eagle Career Net is meant to help students get internships. The website boasts thousands of internship opportunities that can be accessed through it. The Career Net website not only fails to offer thousands of options, but barely offers enough to make the service worth mentioning. Students that are graduating need to be able to trust that they will be able to secure a career with minimal effort once they graduate. GSU should build better relations with alumni that are in a position to hire entry-level employees and local businesses in order to secure internship opportunities for students.
