An internship is a temporary learning-oriented work experience that gives a student or early-career professional exposure to a field or employer.

Why it matters

Clear terminology helps you make choices that a recruiter can understand quickly. An intern can describe a research project, client deliverable, or process improvement as evidence of skills, even when the role was short. Use the term accurately instead of treating it as an unsupported claim or a piece of jargon to repeat.
