Also, you\u2019ll find a few non-internship vocabulary terms that are often confused for internship types thrown in for good measure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Apprenticeship<\/strong> &#8211; An <em>apprenticeship<\/em> is a type of one-on-one training program in which an apprentice learns the particular profession or trade through dedicated oversight, hands-on labor, and sometimes classwork. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/apprenticeship-vs-internship\/\">An <em>apprenticeship<\/em> is not an <em>internship<\/em><\/a>, as it is usually much more intense and requires a greater commitment than the standard intern program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Co-Op Education<\/strong> &#8211; <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/co-op-vs-internship\/\">Cooperative education<\/a><\/em>, sometimes referred to simply as a <em>co-op<\/em>, is a blended program of standard learning in a classroom mixed with actual work experience. A <em>co-op<\/em> program is similar to an internship, but is usually integrated into the school experience and curriculum more seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>College Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>college internship<\/em> is an intern program designed for or undertaken by a university student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Externship<\/strong> &#8211; An <em>externship<\/em> is an educational program for giving students short experiences of actual industry work through a partnership between the school and the business. Known also as <em>job shadowing<\/em> or <em>work shadowing<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/externship-vs-internship\/\">an <em>externship<\/em> is usually shorter than an internship<\/a>, but they both could lead to an employment contract upon completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fellowship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>fellowship<\/em> is an award program, usually consisting of a monetary benefit, that is given to graduate students in various fields to allow them to continue or take on new research. They are often sponsored by a specific medical institution (for medical fellowships), research organization, or company. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/fellowship-vs-internship\/\">Learn the differences between a fellowship and internship here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Field Experience<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Field experience<\/em> is the chance given to take knowledge received in the classroom and apply it hands-on in the actual respective environment under supervision. It is not an internship, but similar, and some examples are when teachers need a certain number of hours before they can teach on their own or when pilots need a certain amount of supervised flying time before they can earn their full license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For-Credit Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>for-credit internship<\/em> is a special intern program related to a specific academic topic and offering college credit for taking part. A <em>for-credit internship<\/em> is often part of university coursework or a particular class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Full-Time Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>full-time internship<\/em> is one where the intern works at or above the threshold for full-time employment, usually over 30 hours per week. Still, though this type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/internship-vs-job\/\">internship differs from a regular job<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/niche-social-media-sites\/\">Top Niche Social Media Sites for College Students to Join<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High School Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>high school internship<\/em> is an internship available to and\/or taken on by a student who is still finishing up high school. As an early internship program, high school internships are harder to find, particularly in the corporate world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Internship Abroad<\/strong> &#8211; An <em>internship abroad<\/em> is an internship program in a country different than the prospective intern\u2019s home country or country of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No-Credit Internship<\/strong> &#8211; Most internships don\u2019t offer college credit, and so a <em>no-credit internship<\/em> is the default. If you want university credit for an internship, search for <em>for-credit internships<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On-Location Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A standard internship will be <em>on-location<\/em>, meaning you\u2019ll have to be physically present to be hired. If you want to intern from home, try to search for a <em>virtual internship<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Online Internship<\/strong> &#8211; See <em>virtual internship<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paid Internship<\/strong> &#8211; Because an internship is a job, essentially, compensation is usually expected and provided in the form of a <em>paid internship<\/em>. However, <em>unpaid internships<\/em> are pretty common, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part-Time Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>part-time internship<\/em> is one where the amount of time required to come in is less than that of regular full-time interns and employees, usually under 30 hours per week. A <em>part-time internship<\/em> is ideal for college students balancing a larger load of coursework and unable to take on a <em>full-time internship<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practicum<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>practicum<\/em> is a course at the graduate level of university aimed at giving grad students practical, hands-on experience in a topic which had only been discussed academically up to that point. A <em>practicum<\/em> is not an internship, as it involves more observation than actual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/how-to-save-money-in-college\/\">How to Save Money in College<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quarterly Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>quarterly internship<\/em> is an internship program lasting a full quarter-year in length (3 months).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remote Internship<\/strong> &#8211; See <em>virtual internship<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Semester Internship<\/strong> &#8211; A <em>semester internship<\/em> is an internship program lasting and corresponding with a full college semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service Learning<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Service learning<\/em> is a type of educational approach where students get learning experience through performing some community service.

A <em>stipend internship<\/em> is usually an <em>unpaid internship<\/em> where, though the intern doesn\u2019t get paid like a regular employee, receives some compensation for internship-related expenses, such as transportation, food, or equipment. Some <em>paid internships<\/em> may also offer a stipend in addition to the standard internship wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><strong>Related Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwall.io\/blog\/books-for-college-students-to-read\/\">Best Books for Students to Read in College<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Student Internship<\/strong> &#8211; Most internships are <em>student internships<\/em>, which are internship programs designed for and given to university students.
