Do internships often lead to job offers for engineering students?
Internships can sometimes lead to job offers, but participation does not guarantee an offer or employment. They help students understand a company and assess their fit, and depending on the company’s evaluation, may lead to a later selection process or information about openings. The content and relationship to recruitment vary by company, university, and academic year, so check official information.
