internships

Temporary work placements

Internships are temporary positions that give students or recent graduates practical experience in a field.

They may be paid or unpaid, and often serve as a bridge between education and employment.

Companies use internships to evaluate potential hires; interns use them to build skills and connections: She landed a job through her summer internship.
