An internship is a short-term commitment to an employer, where you have the opportunity to gain experience and exposure to the work environment. In turn, the employer provides you with a learning experience and specific work assignments related to your career goals. Depending on the situation, internships may be structured or flexible, part-time or full-time, and paid or unpaid. You may even be able to receive academic credit. Remember, the most important payoff you will receive from an internship is the experience gained.
