work placement
Temporary professional experience
A work placement is a temporary position in a workplace, typically arranged as part of an educational program.
Students do work placements to gain practical experience in their field of study: She's doing a six-month work placement at a law firm.
The term is more common in British than American English, where internship is preferred.
