Finding a job in the IT sector can be a real challenge, especially if you have no experience. And of course, you can’t get experience without a job. It’s the old Catch 22 that has graduates pulling their hair out in exasperation.

But fear not! There is a way to get out of this vicious cycle; a software developer internship.

An software developer internship will provide work experience to students, post graduates and even people considering changing careers entirely. Below we’ve listed the main reasons why you should seriously consider an internship with Industry Connect.

Gain Priceless Work Experience

A software developer internship will provide the opportunity to gain hands on work experience that you simply won’t get in a classroom setting. You’ll be very lucky to find a company that will hire someone straight out of university without any experience. Industry Connect’s specially designed internship will give you the experience you need to at least be noticed by any potential employer.

Have An Edge In The Job Search

Any potential employer will usually be more concerned with your work experience than your qualifications. An internship in software development with us is the perfect way to get the work experience you need. Many employers specifically state on their job listings that an internship is needed to even reach the interview stage.

Find A Job Waiting At The End

A good way to think of Internships is to think of them as a really long job interview. Here at Industry Connect we have a significant proportion of our staff made up from previous Interns. Full time workers who came to us through the software developer internship we offered. And many of our other interns went on to work for our partners in the industry.

Decide on your career path

The world of IT is a huge one, and there are many different careers available to you. A software developer internship is a great way to test the water and see if this is the right path for you. Our intern program offers many different subjects, so if you’ve trained in Java, but find that iOS App Development is for you, then this is the time to try different waters without committing.

Get to meet the people who matter

Knowing someone is half the battle when it comes to landing a job. A software developer internship is the perfect way to get to meet people in the industry, and more importantly let them get to know you. It never hurts knowing someone who’s in a position to employ, recommend or even just put down as a reference.

Use your knowledge and Gain Confidence

There’s a big difference in what you learn sitting in a classroom and using that knowledge in the real world. Our software developer internship is a great way to show that you’ve taken in what you were taught and that you can apply it in a work environment. This not only adds to your confidence, but your resume too. And when you go for an interview, you’ll have no problems saying “Yes, I can do that.” And unlike those without experience, you’ll be able to back it up with examples!
