Internships
An internship is a professional learning experience that offers meaningful, practical work related to an individual’s field of study or career interest. An internship gives the participant the opportunity for career exploration and development, and to learn new skills.
Internships must:
- Help the participant to gain the competencies and experience needed to meet local employer demands,
- Be related to a career choice and provide learning through work-based projects, and
- Pay an hourly wage at the same rates as similarly situated employees or trainees, subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
