    I googled , "Statistics about Internships".

    Those who reported completing one internship during their time at Southwestern University were 13 percent more likely to find full-time employment over those that did not. In addition, as students participated in more internships, they improved their odds of receiving full-time employment. This may be indicative of the fact that students who complete internships gain valuable career contacts and experience within the industries of their choice. Also, students who completed at least one internship reported higher levels of being very happy with their outcome (35.3 percent vs. 28.9 percent). This may be due to the fact that completing an internship allows the student to try a field of employment to see if it is in their interests before committing to it as an occupation. This may increase overall happiness by allowing interns to find their true career passion before leaving school.
