Internship Program FAQ's

Difference between a part time job and an internship
An internship is an opportunity to learn about a specific job and to see what it's like to do that type of work. Internships accepted by your college for credit, and are often related to your educational or career objectives.

A part-time job is a regular job, it can be anything.  Part-time just means that you are working closer to 20 hours per week, as opposed to 40, and you don't get the same benefits as one who works full-time in the same place. Part-time work is always paid, like any normal job.  

What is an internship?
An internship is a work-related learning experience for individuals who wish to develop hands on work experience in a certain occupational field. Most internships are temporary assignments that last approximately three months up to a year. An internship provide for progressive learning rather than repetitive activity. In addition, these activities should provide meaningful output for the organization.

While all internships require some degree of repetitive work, no more than 20% of the internship time may be spent on duties of a repetitive nature.
