INTERNSHIPS What is an internship?
An internship is simply an employment experience (paid or unpaid) that combines learning with work. A good internship provides opportunities for you to learning about a career field, while working. These opportunities generally entail some or all of the following: attendance at departmental meetings; regular meetings with your supervisor; access to reading materials; supervised preparation of reports, memos, and other documents; specific training; or the opportunities to “shadow” someone in the company, agency or organization.
