Internships are not easy to get, and no one knows that better than us. We struggled when we were students to find them and we know that struggle has only gotten worse. Studustry can help you with your search, however. While it's not exactly an alternative to standard internships, it can definitely act as a stepping stone towards the opportunities that are just out of your reach. How? Here are some of the ways it can help!

1. Build your experience

While looking for internship opportunities or even placements, you’ve probably heard time and time again that you need experience to get a position. Studustry can help you with this. You get to work with real companies and professionals and make your resume look great!

2. Learn new skills

Internships are primarily meant to help you learn the ins and outs of your chosen industry. However, more often than not, you find that available internships usually consist of you doing grunt work for a company and learning very little, if anything at all. With us, you get to work on projects, with some guidance and learn by figuring things out, as well as from your peers. This helps you get used to functioning in a work-like environment and learn how to use the resources you have to find unique solutions to problems. 

3. Collaborate with your peers

Studustry’s projects encourage collaboration between the members. You learn how to work with other people, develop your people skills and combine knowledge to solve problems or create something new. Teamwork and good interpersonal skills are key qualities that all companies today look for in their applicants. 

4. Explore new sectors

None of our projects have limitations on who can apply. No matter what you’re studying in college or university, if you have a keen interest in any of the projects we offer, you can take part. This is a good way to explore new industries and see whether you have the aptitude and the abilities to pursue it further. These opportunities may not come by otherwise, since most internships limit who can apply based on their area of study. 

5. Get guidance from professionals

While doing Studustry’s projects, you’ll be working under industry professionals who are highly experienced. You get to pick their brains, get their guidance and advice and build valuable connections in your industry. They’ll also be giving you feedback and pointers on the work that you do so that you can figure out your strengths and weaknesses and work on those!

Studustry is also a great community to be a part of. There’s a place for everyone with us and you’re certain to meet like minded people. So, what are you waiting for? Join us now!
