When you’re working on a higher education degree, you spend a lot of time in the classroom and reading. While this is a great way to learn information, it has its limits. There is nothing like hands-on experience to truly reinforce the learning experience, and set you up for a successful future. Here are a few reasons why a paid internship at Balkan Sewer And Water Main is a great idea.

  • Internships offer practical application of the things you have learned. Classroom learning is important, but going out and using it in real-life situations takes it to the next level.
  • Hands-on-learning helps as you transition from the education world to a professional career. It’s hard to jump from one setting to the next, but an internship offers a nice transition that allows you to continue to learn while you earn money at the same time.
  • An internship provides exposure to different types of industries. Maybe you never pictured yourself at a plumbing company, but the more experience the better. You will develop skills that will transfer over to different companies, and it will broaden your horizons.
  • Internships boost your confidence. When you complete your time with us, you will be amazed at how much you have learned, and will have the confidence to go out and take the next step.
  • Internships help you find employment opportunities. While an internship is a temporary position, you often make contacts that will lead you to a future full-time job. We at Balkan Sewer And Water Main have a lot of interaction with others in the community. So if you work hard, learn professionalism, and increase your skills, you will no doubt find some doors opening to you.
  • A paid internship at Balkan can lead to an offer to join our team on a full time basis after your graduation.

My journey as an Intern at Balkan Sewer And Water Main has been a learning and growing experience. I’ve acquired many skills that will help me not only in my career, but in life.
