What is an Internship?

The primary purpose of internship is to provide students with the opportunity to observe and interact with professionals and to reflect upon lessons learned through a work experience. While students are permitted to get paid for their internships, not all companies provide compensation. Characteristics of an internship will vary from one experience to another. Students should take the time to examine their career goals and look for an opportunity that matches those goals.
