overview of internships

What is an internship?

An internship is done usually by students or trainees, who work in an organization in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification.

Whether you need to do an internship in order to receive study credit or you're just interested to explore a company's culture, an internship is a great way to get to know a company and gain valuable (international) work experience. In addition it's a great path to getting hired as a graduate. In general, longer programs range from six months to even a year. Shorter programs range from two-three months, like summer internships, to just a couple of weeks.
