What is an Internship?
An internship is a monitored work experience that has intentional learning outcomes and goals for students. Internships:
- Consist of educationally enriching projects with learning objectives, quality training and supervision, and regular feedback.
- Can be a semester, summer, or even year-long program.
- Have assignments and projects that are related to the student's major or career interests. A minimal amount of an intern's assignments should include clerical work.
There is not a standard internship hiring structure that every industry follows. It is important for you to research typical hiring timelines and processes based on the career field you are thinking about pursuing.
