5 Compelling Reasons to Take MBA Summer Placements Seriously

Summer isn’t just for vacation; it also includes a plethora of activities centered on MBA summer placements for you, as a student in b-school. It turns out to be a common tendency to not take this seriously without realizing that it is one of the most crucial periods in your b-school life. By the time you've settled into the notion of an MBA, summer placements arrive, and you don't have time to comprehend anything and may feel disoriented.

MBA summer internship is a brief learning experience involving on-the-job training with top organizations. It is an excellent opportunity for your career trajectory by assisting you in defining your preferred career path.

1. Industry exposure: You can belt the knowledge of mid-level management experience along with core knowledge of the industry in real-time. That makes it the best opportunity to learn how things are done in real-life situations and industry norms. And it turns out that this practical experience can help you build your confidence in no small measure
2. Preview of roles and responsibilities: This is an opportunity to explore the fields and work in your area of interest. It gives you insights into the roles, responsibilities, and nature of the work that you would be embarking on, after graduating from b-school. If you don’t think you’re suited for the role, you can reconsider your area of interest and change your career path.
3. Network expansion: In today’s world, networking is one of the factors that lead to success. With this placement, you not just learn domain skills but also build good influence and interpersonal relationships with professionals in your field. These new acquaintances can become your potential mentors or employers.
4. Feedback from industry experts: What’s better than receiving feedback from experienced leaders and learning from them? And there are high chances of getting recommendations from your supervisors that help you in climbing the corporate ladder. It’s not just that, the feedback helps the placement committee team of your college to understand the pros and cons before the final placement.
5. Pre-placement offer: It also increases your chances of being offered a full-time position. Having said that, the National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that 70% of firms provide full-time opportunities to interns. As companies recruit interns that fit their culture, it’s a win-win for both.
