To enlighten you more, the internship is a period of time when you gather some experience while working for an organization.

Also, internships are for students and fresh graduates that are looking for means to extra skills and knowledge in their chosen field of study. Meanwhile, if you do exceptionally well as an intern, you stand a chance of being retained in the organization by your boss. This is another means of saving time, money, and plenty of interviews for a vacancy in the workplace.

A business owner or manager retains an intern to save time and cost, the intern automatically gets a job and this saves you from endless job hunting. The business owner wins, the intern wins, everybody wins.

In as much as it’s a win-win situation, there is an extra benefit to it. You as the intern are already familiar with the job once you become a full employee. And for the boss, there will not be any need for spending money and time on training.

Furthermore, there are different kinds of internships, that is:

This kind of internship helps to broaden your knowledge and put some clearness into what you were taught in school. However, the intern puts their knowledge in school to work and that is what you should expect as a paid intern.

Partially paid Internship: Interns in this type of setting will be paid a little token once in a while by the organization.

Unpaid Internship: Are more like volunteer workers and only have volunteer positions with no fixed or routine jobs. So, this kind is always found among non-profit organizations.
