Internships and Apprenticeships
Internships
Internships are considered on the job training experiences between the student and their employers. During the course of the internships the student can have either a paid or unpaid experience. [1] The primary placements for internships are usually at white collar locations (lawyers officers, research labs, political buildings, etc). [1] During the course of an internship the student can use this to their advantage. They can determine whether the routes they are going down for their career is what they truly want to do, they can network and gain experiences that are vital for their future employment. [1]
There are several different types of internships. Primarily those that are work based and research based (these are primarily for university students who are seeking a graduate school position or PHD). [2] Those that are work based are primarily where the student gains a position at the location they applied and had to learn the job while they are working for the employer. [2]
Internships lack the creativity of apprenticeships because internships are primarily carried out in a specific guideline. [3] So the intern can’t be very creative because the business they are working for has a certain standard of work that they want and can possibly even frown on innovation because its outside of their respective standard that everyone else has to follow. This type of on the job training is rather inflexible where as those who are in apprenticeships are motivated to be creative because what works for one person may not particularly work for the next person.
Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a college based hands on learning environment where those who are attending college are given employment, a steady paycheck and are receiving specialized training at the same time that they are taking college level courses. [4] These apprenticeships are usually trade skill based such as electrician, plumber, welder and give the student the specialized training to branch out into their respective field once their college career and apprenticeship requirements are fulfilled after their on the job training is completed. [4] Apprenticeships are primarily for the students benefit because the employer who is giving the individual the apprenticeship has to give them the adequate training during the course of this period so that once the apprenticeship is completed several years down the road the student can then go and take the skills that they learned during this time and apply them to their new trade. [4]
Creativity is fostered in these situations because college student are used to innovation and problem solving. [5] Those in a university setting are used to following a specific set of guidelines while getting a task done. [3] In apprenticeships the teacher may have their own method for performing a certain task and these can easily vary from individual to individual as each trade has its own specific steps that need to be carried out and these can easily be passed on to the student. [5] These problem solving abilities are important because every situation they come across down the road may be different and have unpredictable characteristics that cause them to make quick decisions that they may not have faced during their apprenticeship with their employer. [5]
Comparisons
- Apprenticeships are for college students, are hands on paid experiences that involve training in a trade or craft. [4]
- Internships are primarily university positions that are research or work based that can be either paid or unpaid depending on the position. These positions are usually white collar positions. [1]
Apprenticeships are hands on based skills learning experience for students who are looking to branch out into a trade after their college experience is over. [4] Internships are considered on the job training for university students looking at a white collar job (usually in an office setting). [1] Each of these has their own rewards such as preparing both of the students for their future careers whether it be as a plumber, electrician, politician, etc. Each has its own unique learning environment that can be adaptive and flexible (apprenticeships) or it can be rather rigid and straight forward (Internships)
