Internship has attracted considerable attention for a number of years and yet until 2011 had rarely been the subject of serious research.
In this guide, Prof. David Guile and Ann Lahiff look at the differences between internship, structured work-place learning, and unpaid work experience. They explore how employers offer access to internship and what models of learning are associated with best practice internships.
They also offer recommendations for policymakers, companies, stakeholders and for interns/prospective interns.
