INTERNSHIPS:
An internship is a short-term position to help you learn more about a specific industry, role or company. Organizations often sponsor internships for students or recent college graduates to allow them to understand a field or particular area of focus better and determine their career interests. Internships are usually temporary or seasonal opportunities, and they may or may not provide compensation.
