One benefit of an internship would be the contact with the company. One disadvantage would be the necessity of a good organization.

# data[].attributes.body
I think internship should be very motivating for students. A way of approaching and living the working world knowing how to work, how are the relationships between employees. It is a way to approach the horizon of students' formation.

Internship is a valuable experience for young people, because it improves skills and shows them what is really needed in their future career. They can even get a job in the same company where they have the internship. It can happen that the company doesn't have enough mentors to focus on trainees and young trainees don't have enough work to do.

As colleague Agnieszka, I see only benefit of these internship for our student.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see a lot of advantages - training, future workplace, known working environment, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
It would be great for the student if the apprentice relationship is a master apprentice. If the student only has legwork, the internship can not achieve its goal.

# data[].attributes.body
i see only benefit because students lernt a lot of things for himself

# data[].attributes.body
For me all are advantages inside a internship, altough when the factory use the student as a worker without a salary, and they don´t learn anything

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, interships are essential to complete the career training. This opportunity allows students to experiment first-hand the real work, being implicated in a business company and developing new skills, which can only be learned through practice.
Nevertheless, if the company don´t receive and integrates properly the student, not give him due training, or the job isn´t in accordance with his academic training, this experience won´t be instructive and will give him a bad vision about the world of work.

The link instituted between school and companies is an essential piece of education process and it is possibile to build a suitable curriculum to get the skills you need to find a job. This is a big benfits, but if the internship is not organized well it becomes a waste of time for all the participants.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact of meeting highly skilled people or to be invited to work with partnership company, to get a salary is a great benefit but a disadvantage could be to have a limited idea of the working world if students know only those companies with which they collaborate.

I think there are lots of advantages on internship placements and it should be a must at every secondary school.

An internship is a big opportunity, but must be well organised with a plan and a tutor

# data[].attributes.body
Internship will create various chances for students to get hands-on learning which is indispensible for their future profession.
To come together with real workers may make students to be exposed to bad language spoken in work environment. Furthermore, real time workers may abuse the younger students.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion the best advantage is the posibility of doing something that could be quite a bit difficult for many students in terms of money and time abroad.

It is hardly for me to see disadvantages in scholarships, maybe the main one could be the adaptation process at the early stage if the cultural change is big.

# data[].attributes.body
Such an intership is useful for students because they can touch by hand what real work is and how it's organized a company. On the other hand if the project is not well organized students can 't be followed properly by a tutor and they have the sensation of wasting their time.

The main advantage of the OGMA program is that at the end of the internship program for students, they have a fixed contract as professionals for several years. The disadvantage is that the student can exercise for a few years obligatorily in the scientific area that the company develops, although after the experience in the practices the student did not like that area.

# data[].attributes.body
Obviously, there are many benefits. The pupils can see how it is the daily life in the profession; they can appreciate more things tan expected, or recognise some issues they haven’t thought of.

The worst disadvantage I can see, it would appear if the tutors weren’t interested on giving a good formation to the trainee, and they spent their time making photocopies or as a delivery boy.

Joining theory with practice is a great advantage. Students, using hands-on-activities are able to improve both their technical and soft skills. It goes without saying that possibility of internship will have a vital impact on students career choice, it will help them decide and provide with great experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Vantages are both for students that can do a concrete experience and for companies that can continue collaboration with students formed.
Disadvantage: companies should be interested only to have free manpower.

# data[].attributes.body
I think is very important to expertise the concrete real experience in a job enviroment surronded by professionals.
Disavantages could be not be payed and deciding to work without finishing school studies.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most important is the real-life experience following a scheduled activity in contact with professionals.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefit: it coudl be the first time to enter in the world of jobs.
Disadvantage: the tutor-employee could be not motiveted to follow students during their internship.

Internship is a professional orientation experience, so it has the advantage of enriching the student's curriculum and facilitating their choices by directly knowing the world of work.

Students and graduates choose an internship for:

deepen and realize the learning;

verify their attitudes;

collecting useful material for writing the thesis;

to know the reality of the world of work so that they can better orient future professional choices;

enrich their own cv.

The disadvantages are mainly related to the fact that companies do not usually give inputs to trainees who also have to pay for travel and meals outside the home.

# data[].attributes.body
I think is very important having the opportunity of applying theory to practice.  It's a real-life experience which shows the students how his life or work can be in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most important is the real-life experience following a scheduled activity in contact with professionals.

The main disadvantage is that companies could take advantage of students avoiding to hire real workers

# data[].attributes.body
I consider they offer many more advantages than disadvantages:

- The student gains confidence in the face of his professional future.
- If the student is involved in the program, will be more involved too in his/her studies.
- Understands the obligations, requirements and rights as a worker so much better.
- Companies rely more on a student who has completed a program or internship of this type.
- Training times in companies are shortened when they count with people to work.

However, it must be considered that it requires economic investment, commitment and effort from all parties involved and this is not always feasible.

# data[].attributes.body
One benefit is the practice, and disadvantage the time that staff have.

# data[].attributes.body
The most benefit is to try a real  experience of work in a real factory. A disvantage could be in relation with the people you meet in this experience, such as when you work, you can find more or less helpful collegues, more or less improvement experience.

# data[].attributes.body
They have a previous experience, that is basic for success when they are seeking for an employee.
The youth in the video comments one disadvantage, the workers in the company are very busy and they can not attend students properlly.

# data[].attributes.body
Combining practice with theory is fundamental

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the main advantage on this is related with students, they can join theoretical learning with practicing.

perhaps there is an only disadvantage that is the poor plannig of the activity by the mentors.

The advantage is to contest with real world, Learning by doing. I don't Cee Real disadvantage

I agree with most of my colleagues about the fact that there are many more advantages (hands-on learning, real world experience, access to early life autonomy), than disadvantages (possible loss of interest and early overload of work). But, all in all, it´s worth giving internship a try!

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages-  Students face to the real world experience.

Drawbacks- If the work is a bad experience,  interest  could be lost..

# data[].attributes.body
It is very good for students to experience real workplace environment, however, because of people who work there, students might have negative impression of their dream job.

# data[].attributes.body
One benefit: The greatest benefit is to prove how my future job could be, and also how the things Iearn at the school are related to real life.
One disadvantage: A small one: if they are senior students probably should not spend time in other issues but studing, because they will have the compulsory test (EBAU) at the end of the school year.

# data[].attributes.body
Plus side – experience and hands –on learning.

Minus side – if mentors are not good they can repulse career choice.

# data[].attributes.body
Advantage The real work experience.
I don`t think there is any disadvantage.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages. It is very positive for the students to know the real world, to learn by doing. It is a great experience for the pupils because they get involved with the labour market.

# data[].attributes.body
I belive that is is very positive the internship placements because a part from getting experiences in some skills that the students have previous learned the students have contact with reality.
May be a disadvantage can be the poor plannig of the activity by the mentors.

# data[].attributes.body
There is an obvious advantage on knowing about the real work world.
The second one is the stimulation, and motivation for pupil in knowing how companies work. It is specially positive for engineering careers, due to the difficulty of imagine what do they really do.
youngster need to be involved in the idea of studying for a good job, but also the passion of many jobs, which improve our lives.
ANd Finally, you can find your vocatrion were you wernt looking for it.

# data[].attributes.body
The main advantage is to connect the studients with a real company /bussiness. And the disadvantage is that you should review the activities that the students makes to check they have a good experience and they continue learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Although internship placement is a wonderfull initiative for secondary school, I think that in the middle school, where I teach, is not very welcome, especially because students are very young and it is preferable for them to continue studiyng for many years before going to work with the specialisation that the internship placement can offer. It is better for higher secondary school.

# data[].attributes.body
In my humble opinion one advantage of internship is: gain real world experience because an internship that relates to your field of study can help you better understand and apply the theories you learn in the classroom by seeing those theories applied in the real world.

On the other hand, one disadvantage is that maybe internships cost an arm and a leg and many people can not afford it which is a pity

# data[].attributes.body
I think there are advantages, especially the contact with labor market; there are not important disadvantages, I think.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, a great benefit is that students could learn by doing. But this is possible only if there are professionals who can share their expertise. And the lack of right supervisors and communicative trainers can be a disadvantage.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefit - learning in real world how does it all work, disadvantage - not a lot of variety of internships.

# data[].attributes.body
An internship offers students the chance to learn by doing in a setting where they are supervised by a work-place professional.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the main advantage is that students are in contact with reality, with the world of work. In my opinion, it is very interesting the joint work of schools with companies and various sectors of society to train young people and facilitate their jobs in the future. So, I see that the programm carried out in Portugal is beneficial to both parties

# data[].attributes.body
These projects are very interesting, especially when well articulated as we see in these examples, which does not always happen in Portugal. It is important that school boards are well aware of this need, of this reality and how beneficial it is not only for students and companies in the surrounding region to have this articulation. Professional courses in many schools are still seen as a necessary evil, are not seen as their main bet, which is to be regretted because the positive examples presented here and that everyone knows are examples that this bet, when well managed is a success.

# data[].attributes.body
The students can enter in a job world more quickly. They can have a job and a salary.
On the other hand, they don't have many choices and they could't do what they really like.

# data[].attributes.body
Students have the advantage that they can see with their eyes how  work is done.
The disadvantage  is that these internships allow you to learn only some aspects of the work world

# data[].attributes.body
On the one hand internships are a very good opportunity to learn from the real world, as the old apprentices, and also you can get a job easier since you have shown to professionals who can value better if you are a good worker. The problem is that these internships last too much in most cases and are used to have free workers.

# data[].attributes.body
The best advantage is that students do not need to pass their years if they don't want to proceed to study in the universities and they will have the opportunity to access the job market as mentioned in the video. The most important downside is that there can be some internhip program contracts between schools and companies and these companies may not have any vision as regarding the training of future emloyees.

# data[].attributes.body
They have the advantage of being very concrete, but the disadvantage of being limiting.

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages: In this way the students set themselves amore real goal. There is any relevant disavantage in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, internships are great , positive and useful for students.
There are different advantages: students will see how the job is in reality, they will gain experience or they migth decide to study a different thing.
It is also good  for companies to check the level of their future employees and all together (companies and teachers) improve the students's level if needed.
WIth regard to the disadvantages, I think it is not easy to find companies which are businesslike with the internships.

# data[].attributes.body
One benefit is the possibility for students to see witn their eyes the real working world. One disadvantage could be the difficulty to find usefull partners to do this project

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a good thing is that students acn have a first hand opinion about the real job and the company could see how are the students in soft and hard skills. On the other hand, there are not enough internships for all the students and some careers cannot be covered by the students. We have also to think what is the real purpose of these internship.

# data[].attributes.body
One benefit is gain valuable work experience before you graduate and the disadvantage is some employers take it upon themselves to use this internship as a way to getting free labour.

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages: students learn in a real word.
Disadvantage: get interested and appropriate partners.

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages are countless, I studied in the USA, and I went for an internship when I back to Malaysia (Thanks).    I learnt practical instead of just theory. The schools need to take care of children safety, everything is plan well. In the industrial, it is not always the case. For eg, Intern see senior working on a very high voltage (thousand of Watts), intern see IT senior working at a night shift to have minimum down time, etc.

Disadvantage - none so whatever.   All students should go.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefit: students learn in real life.
Disadvantage: It's really difficult to find companies that could be interested in any educational programs without consideration.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefit: Students match theory with real life. I learn more with my teaching practice in the school than in all university studies.
I dont see Disadvantages because I think it is possitive for Students even if it is only that period of time.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view, this kind of internship has loads of benefits; maybe the main one is that give the students the chance to live personally the real daily life of a real company in the job market in a close  range. I think that having the opportunity of living these experiences will strongly encourage the students to develope all their skills and work harder in order to achieve their targets.
I really don´t see any disadvantage excepting, maybe, the difficulty to find companies with this philosophy .

# data[].attributes.body
The advantage is that kids can improve the soft skills they need in the world of work as they continue to study for their hard skills. The disadvantage is that there are really few companies in the area available to do this. Few employees know how to be teachers in a few months.

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages: students see and touch their future
Disadvantages:
After this, theta  may find difficulTo studypracticó things

# data[].attributes.body
I thimk it is a very good opprtunity I only can see a lot of advantages.
The practical approaches is the ideal complement for students, and is a golden opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
I only fine advantages in this kine of collaboration: Students have contact with the real work world and know how apply the knowledge they acquired at school what is really motivating; furthermore the internship itself is a way to enrich their CV. Teachers have the opportunity to update they knowledge in an effective way through the relation with professionals involved in the internship. Companies have the possibility to promote in the curricula school the skills they are looking for in their employees and even they can assess the students participating in the internship in order to invite then to joint the companies.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not really see any disadvantage in this kind of schooling. If I have to point out something...it may be that sometimes some children find it more comfortable to join the working world than continue studying and they may quit their studies.
As an advantage, I really think that this kin of education is very useful because students can make up their minds when they are really know how these jobs work and what they are expected to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this type of schools are of great value. Schools as well as universities have to prepare students for life. both universities and schools are based on a theoretical approach and consequently studetns do not quite understand what are they studying.
I think this is a great adbvantage to show students how life, work is and thus prepare them in a way to be realistics and practical.
I DO NOT SEE ANY DISADVANTAGE, I THINK THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL TOOL TO INCREASE OUR STUDENTS MOTIVATION.

# data[].attributes.body
One benefit for this kind of activity is surely the connection between the studies and the skillset required for real professions; the disadvantage could be the limited opportunity to vocational courses and the way companies work with students who are not completely ready to handle a job condition.

# data[].attributes.body
Advantage: it provides a quick entering in the world of work.
Disadvantage: a working student can loose te chance to continue his/her studies and his/her specialisation and will rest at the same level for ever or for long time.

# data[].attributes.body
If internship conditions are appropriate and they allow the student to get in touch with real world it could be an interesting benefit for both: employers and students.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinión, the greatest benefit of this type of programme is the fact that students can experience what working in a Company is like, experiencing working on the área on a daily basis, so they can learn lots of things not only about the proper skills required for the job, but also about soft skills that can help them in their daily life, disregarding their job. The greatest disadvantage of this internship is, in my view, the fact that it is limited for Professional Training students, so those students aiming for further education cannot benefit from them.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the benefits is that students can experience real job and see is something like that for them or not. One of disadvantage is that maybe they will work in some job that doesn't interest them or they couldn't do what they like and then they don't work like they should.

# data[].attributes.body
The main advantage is that companies can built relationships with educational institutions, in that way giving the students opportunity to develop both soft and hard skills.

# data[].attributes.body
The mail benefit is the contact between students and the world of job: in this way they understand the importance of the skills acquired at school ; on the other hand is very difficult to find partner

# data[].attributes.body
Main advantage is for students to start thinking about the world of work and how to manage study and work at the same time. One main disadvantage is to find partners coming from different sectors.

# data[].attributes.body
The advantage is that students can actually deal with a job using their skills, but it is difficult to find companies that allow them.

# data[].attributes.body
The main benefit of an internship is that the students learn real and useful skills that they need for a job. The main disadvantage is to get interested and appropriate partners.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the benefit is that students can practice a real work, but it is important to find partners who are really interested to make it possible. The disadvantage is to find partners who can't do that in the right way.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the main benefit is that student can develop both soft and hard skills. They can also link what they have studied with practical activities. I think that companies have some disadvantage because it’s hard for them roll out training programs and initiatives for students.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the main benefit is that the student gets in touch  with real life: wakes up early, goes to work, treats with adults that treat him/her as an adult, not like a student... be independent after all...
In the other hand, it's a disadvantage the fact that in some companies the student only develops very little work so, when finishing the internship, the student hasn't learnt all he had to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
The main advantage is that companies can built relationships with educational institutions, in that way giving the students opportunity to develop both soft and hard skills. Students can link their theoretical knowledge to the practical., relate learning to technical application.
Disadvantages: it's hard for the companies to have some extra specialists to train students, because all specialists are busy all the time. Students are mostly given tasks that are nor related to the direct functions of the work.

# data[].attributes.body
One of benefits is students can apply the topics learned in the secondary school and gain work experience in the company. One of disadvantage: it is difficult to find many companies that take responsability for the practices student's interships.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the benefits of the internship is the real working experience it can give transforming theoretical knowledge in daily work. The only disadvantage is the possibility to work with a unreliable company that only wants to make profits by the cooperation.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits: make the educational process more tangible.  The work environment is more interesting then a class room.  Pupils have the opportunity to meet with professionals and gather more knowledge first hand.
Disadvantages:  sometimes the pupils are given less interesting jobs to do which do not reflect the reality of the company.  This is sometimes done due to health and safety restrictions.  The companies have to be briefed on the importance of internships to maximize its benefits.  some companies see this as a nuisance and feel that they are babysitting pupils.

# data[].attributes.body
There is very good to aply theorical skills in real job

# data[].attributes.body
Advantage: companies ensure that at the end of the internship students possess the skills required by employers.
Disadvantage: Skill set becomes too narrow to allow free movement between career choices.

# data[].attributes.body
The main advantage is that students are able to incorporate their knowledge to work and companies can hire students for working sometime.
There are not enough companies able for internship. And, in my view, students stop studying for working to early.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main advantage on this is that students can relate theoretical learning with practice. Disadvantage of this which is represented in video is companies should have more staff trained who can prepare students for their future job. Also, I think teachers must follow technology evolution and give the students opportunely to develop their IT skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main advantage is that the students can relate what they learn theoretically in the institute, with the actual work.
The main disadvantage is that there are no companies available to do this, since it would have to have staff trained to serve the students
