Internships and other forms of work experience are key ways to further develop the employability skills and graduate attributes that employers value. But what is an internship and how do you find one? Are internships paid or unpaid?

In addition to acquiring employability skils and graduate attributes, you also need to understand what employers value in new grads and record and demonstrate these skills to employers.
