We’ll explore how to kickstart your career by securing an internship or apprenticeship before moving into a full-time role. Let’s clarify the difference between the two:
Internship
An internship is a temporary work contract, typically lasting from a week to a few months. While internships are often arranged through schools, they can also be found independently. The goal is to give you a real-world glimpse into the industry, helping you understand the workplace dynamics.
Apprenticeship
An apprenticeship is a longer-term work contract, usually lasting one to two years. It’s a commitment to learn a craft under the guidance of one or more mentors. This experience is designed to equip you with the skills needed to transition smoothly into a full-time position.
Junior Position
A junior position is your first step into a full-time role after completing an internship or apprenticeship, where you’ll continue to develop your skills in a professional setting.
