Definition of Internship
• Webster’s Dictionary tells us that the word “intern” derives from the French
word: interne, meaning internal and is describing an advanced student or
graduate, usually in a professional field gaining supervised practical
experience.
• Wikipedia sees an intern as one who works in a temporary position with an
emphasis on education rather than merely employment, making it similar in
some respects to an apprenticeship.
• Internships’ may often vary from company to company, but they are built on
the same understanding and principles:
“An internship is a work-related learning experience for individuals who wish
to develop hands on work experience in a certain occupational field. Most
internships are temporary assignments that last approximately three months up
to a year. “
