An internship is an opportunity offered by an employer to potential employees, called interns, to work at a firm for a fixed, limited period of time. Interns are usually undergraduates or students, and most internships last for any length of time between one week and 12 months.
Hiring an unpaid intern can provide benefits for both the intern and employer. Although unpaid interns are limited in the type of work they can perform (i.e., they cannot replace existing employees) employers interested in hiring interns can receive many benefits. For example, employers are not required by law to compensate interns nor are they pressured to provide employee benefits.
