What is an Internship? An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited period of time. But you can also apply for an internship in the desired organization. How much is required to attempt?  Currently, experience is becoming a crucial factor for employers when deciding who gets their foot in the door. It’s strongly advised that students and graduates must take the opportunity to complete a period of work experience to ensure they have a competitive advantage over their peers, and that’s where an internship can make all the difference. When and How you can apply for it? What you will learn in internship?

What is Communication? Multiple Definitions: 1. A two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange (encode-decode) information, news, ideas, and feelings but also create and share meaning. In general, communication is a means of connecting people or places. In business, it is a key function of management--an organization cannot operate without communication between levels, departments, and employees. 2. Communication (from Latin commūnicāre, meaning "to share") is the act of conveying meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules. 3. Communication is simply the act of, transferring information, from one place to another. Role of Communication Now let's talk about the role of communication, it play's multiple roles at different places according to variations in situation and time.
