Interns are pre-entry level positions often reserved for college students or those curious about a particular field or industry. Typically, interns do rudimentary or non-participatory work in order to get a feel for the nature of a business. They are often part-time or seasonal rather than full-time.
Skillset: Interns are generally young and ambitious people who are willing to do the most menial of tasks to break into a company or industry. They must have a positive attitude and a willingness to do less-than-desirable work for little or no pay.
Education: Interns are often still in high school or college, though some experienced professionals choose to do a “shadow internship” before committing to a position or company. The education level required to obtain an internship varies greatly depending on the industry and position.
Career Path: Most companies grant internships through partnership programs with colleges and high schools. Attending an educational institution is often the best way to get exposed to good internship opportunities.
