Does an internship count as work experience?

Congratulations on completing your internship! Internships do count, especially if you have worked on hands-on projects. Companies consider internships as a place for gaining knowledge and acquiring new skills. So if you have worked on real-time projects during the internship and can elaborate on the skills and learning you gained, that really helps. Companies are looking for candidates who have worked on assignments with deadlines and targets, you may have worked on similar lines in your internship. So yes, it does count on the resume.
