It provides the opportunity for students and entry-level professionals to gain valuable experience working within their specific field. Internships cultivate professional relationships, teach new skills, and apply the knowledge that students have gained in a “real world”, professional setting. It is a chance to make important connections, which may lead to future opportunities. Not to mention that it gives young theatre practitioners the chance to see if a specific career path is the best choice for them. Internships are an essential step when transitioning from university to professional life. Therefore, it is vital that students choose an internship that best suits their needs.
