WHAT IS AN INTERNSHIP?

An internship is a short-term work experience offered by companies and other organizations for people to get some entry-level exposure to a particular industry or field. It is as much of a learning experience as it is work. Ideally, interns spend their time working on relevant projects, learning about the field, making industry connections, and developing both hard and soft skills. For high school students, most internships are non-paying experiences.
