INTERNSHIP

An internship is a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, and it can be paid or unpaid. A student or recent graduate in a special field of study (as medicine or teaching) may work for a period of time to gain practical experience.

EXTERNSHIP

The major difference between externships and internships are that externships typically are unpaid and the student usually doesn’t receive school credit for their experience. The top aspect to remember when deciphering the difference of an externship versus an internship is that externships are used mainly to explore interests and curiosities whereas internships act as the bridge from student life to professional life.
