Do I need to do a electrical engineering internship?
Beyond relevant work experience, many large employers who have electrical engineer graduate programs will offer grads who have completed these programs first preference on graduate roles. The main reason is that by doing an internship, employers get to see what you are capable of first hand and can be confident that you understand the company and are going to be a good fit.
