In this episode, we are discussing the much-anticipated topic of Internships!

Internships are not that common in cybersecurity and that's because they are a huge long-term investment, which is risky for lots of organizations especially in the private sector.

Some of the issues that come along with internships are the time and resources that must be invested, and on the side, the risk of all these resources being blown away when the intern decides to not continue with the organization.

You can also expect not to see two internship programs that are similar to each other. They are always different and very customized to fit the organization providing these internships.

Internships can also be a great help to break barriers that a lot of entry level workers face when trying to get a job for the first time in many different fields, not just cybersecurity.

There are also other benefits to internships, including better networking opportunities and more improvements to your team's communication skills, and the way they work with different skill levels, which can enlighten you about areas of weaknesses and points of improvement.
