Enhancing Internship Experiences: A Comprehensive Study of Internship Portals in Educational Institutions

Abstract

Internship programs are crucial in bridging the gap between academic learning and practical industry experience. In recent years, internship portals have emerged as vital platforms facilitating matchmaking between students seeking internships and organisations offering internship opportunities. This research paper explores the role of internship portals in enhancing the overall internship experience for both students and employers. Through a comprehensive study, we analyse internship portals' functionalities, features, and effectiveness in various educational institutions and industries. Additionally, we investigate the challenges and opportunities associated with internship portals and propose strategies for optimising their performance. This research provides valuable insights for stakeholders involved in internship programs, including students, educators, employers, and developers of internship portal platforms.
