An internship is a work experience within an organization where a student is looking to gain relevant skills, knowledge, and experience in a particular field related to their major or career goals. Internships are typically one-time work experiences that involve working in professional settings under the supervision and mentorship of practicing professionals. Internships can be paid or unpaid, and the student may or may not receive academic credit for performing the internship.
