Yes, gaining internships or work experience before applying can significantly strengthen your daughter's study abroad profile, especially for Master's programs.

Relevant experience shows practical skills, industry exposure, and commitment to her field, making her application more competitive. This is particularly valuable in fields like Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Business, and Finance.

Some programs, such as MBAs, may even require work experience. While not always mandatory, internships or jobs are highly recommended to improve admission chances and future job prospects.
