3. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN APPRENTICESHIP AND
AN INTERNSHIP?
• An intern is not bound to work for the employer after the internship is over, though
many do.
• An internship also offers students a chance to “try out” a job or industry to
determine if it is the right choice for them.
• Apprentices know which field they want to go into, and work with a master in that
field to learn it first-hand.
