Common Questions

Drawing of a lit lightbulb
What is it?

Internships can take many forms -part-time or full-time experiences, paid or unpaid. Due to this, it’s understandable that there is confusion about the difference between an internship, part-time job, or volunteering.

The major distinction is that an internship has a qualified on site supervisor and you are not employed at the organization.

An internship should apply what you have learned in the classroom to a professional setting and, as a result, you’ll gain skills, and/or in-depth knowledge of a particular industry.
