interns

Summer office workers

Interns are people gaining practical experience in a field, typically students or recent graduates working temporarily at organizations.

The arrangement ranges from unpaid positions offering only résumé credit to well-compensated roles at competitive firms: Summer interns flooded the office in June.

To intern is to work as an intern, or separately, to confine someone—especially during wartime: Japanese Americans were interned during World War II.
