An internship is a planned, "real world" learning experience that provides an opportunity to gain practical, on-the-job training in a field of interest to you. It serves as a bridge between the classroom and the world of work, allowing you to apply what you have learned inn school to real-life work experiences. You can think of it as apprentice-type training.
Internships are usually short-term, structured and supervised. Because of the emphasis on learning rather than money, internships are often coordinated to provide academic credit. However, internships can offer a stipend or hourly wage only, or a combination of academic credit and pay.
