An internship is an opportunity to enhance classroom learning through practical experience. Internships may be full-time or part-time, depending on the employer's needs. Most positions are for one semester, though some are designed for longer or shorter periods. Internships can be found in corporate and private businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. All internships should have the common goal of providing students supervision and a chance to learn while contributing.

Internships were rated by employers as one of the most effective recruiting methods for hiring new college graduates, according to the 2010 Internship & Co-op Survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
