Internships are a great way to gain knowledge about the culture and day-to-day operations of a specific industry! Internships are usually reserved for high school, undergraduate and graduate students and often offer school credit or base pay. They can last anywhere from several months to a year.
During the current “Work From Home” era, you can look at these five tips for virtual internships.
