Internships

An internship is a professional learning experience that offers a practical work related experience that aligns with a student's field of study or career interest. An internship will help you gain skills that can be applied to future employment.

It depends -- some internships will be a paid opportunity for a specified number of hours or weeks, while some internships may be unpaid, or provide college credit.
