Internships
Internships can serve a variety of purposes. From the idea of apprenticeships to experiential learning and career development, internships are conceived conventionally in instrumental terms. They might serve as stepping stones to a vocation, a chance to “try out” employment in a particular sector of the economy, as well as an opportunity to gain the kind of experience that will lead to advancement in a particular company or field of employment.
