When asked how internships, project-based courses, simulations, and other work-based learning experiences benefited them, students shared that they helped them (in their words):
o Investigate things beyond the curriculum
o See the practicality of the degree
o Validate my academic experience – more than just the degree
o Recognize what’s relevant when I go into the workforce
o Expand my horizons by talking to other students doing internships
o Figure out what I didn’t want to do
o Grow personally as well as professionally
o Increase my skills
o Increase my confidence to be a functioning adult and contribute to society
