While most people think that internships are only for students, even adults who are changing careers can have periods to intern for firms before a full transition into a new career. An internship is a professional learning career experience that provides meaningful and practical work to a person’s field or field of interest. It gives the intern an opportunity to bring fresh ideas into a workspace, while also learning the ropes and details of the field he is into. 

A good internship program consists of the following:

• A clear job description and deliverables for the intern.

• A learning opportunity for the intern to understand the career field and grow his skills.

• Feedback system that enables the intern to know how much progress he’s making and how he has improved in his skills.

• An opportunity for the intern to bring new ideas into the firm to help him utilize his skills.
