INTERNSHIPS

What Is an Internship?

Internships are work-based learning opportunities that are shorter than apprenticeships but longer than micro-internships. They typically last anywhere from a few months to a year, allowing you to explore an industry you may be interested in, gain meaningful work experience, and develop both employability and technical skills.
