What is the difference between Apprenticeship and Internship Programs? Are they relevant in todays economy?

Either are key to building up a network of contacts and experience when you look for full-time work. The main difference is that an Apprenticeship is usually for a vocation/craft, like carpentry, mechanics, etc. An internship is basically anything else. Usually it implies work for a company, but sometimes they are personal assistant roles, and so on.

Apprenticeships also seem to be more intensive and focused on passing applicable skills to you (as resuems don't tend to be as important in those fields). They also imply that you've made a decision about your career. Internships can be used to try something out to see if you like it, or to gain experience for a career that you've decided on.

Good luck!

Internships And Apprenticeships

You can't compare a man to a woman. Each is different. But a man, and a woman, complement each other. In other words, one man and one woman (together) is one unit. They are a complementary pair.

An Intern is like a doctor out of med school working in the real world to actually do hands on. An Apprentice is more like a person who has not gone to school but is learning hands on
