I agree that the title is misleading, but this is good advice.
On the company I work for (insurance sector), they tried to implement an "internship" program in which people from different parts of the company (especially software development) would spend some time in different parts of the company, so we'd learn what they do and how our work impacted theirs (greatly in the case of software development of course).
Sadly it was cancelled, but I thought it was a great idea at the time.
I worked a saturday in manufacturing years ago. Quite different from software development! I learned they entered the hard disk badspot table into the bios three times during testing! We went right back and fixed the format tool to preserve the entries. Saved manhours of work per week.
