practicum
Supervised professional training
A practicum is a course or period of practical training, especially in professional fields like teaching, nursing, or social work.
Unlike an internship, which may be paid employment, a practicum is typically an academic requirement completed under supervision: Her practicum placed her in a second-grade classroom for the semester.
