I don't know anything about this particular program, but in general I consider various internships an excellent tryout for employability and experience, which looks good on a resume. It's also good for expanding horizons and trying out personal independence. One can earn a modest salary and there's little chance of being dismissed unless you do something really bad, but if you can get a substantial amount of work done it will be praised.
