Breakfast Bites: How long do you think internships should last?

November 5, 2026 · 11 min

Show notes

Three months? Six months? Or even a whole year? Internships are meant to give students and fresh graduates valuable work experience, but there's a fine line between gaining useful skills and spending too long in a temporary role.

We discuss how long an internship should ideally last, and whether longer stints offer better learning opportunities or simply delay the start of a proper career.

Join Neil Humphreys & Audrey Siek LIVE every Tuesday & Thursday at 7.20am for We Are Family!
