For information about a medical intern, see the article on Medical residency.
In North America, an intern is one who works in a temporary position with an emphasis on education rather than merely employment, making it similar in some respects to an apprenticeship. Interns are usually college or university students, and may be either paid or unpaid (in the form of stipend), with paid internships being most common in the sciences, engineering, and technology. The word can also be used as a verb, e.g. "John interned at Microsoft this summer.".
Internships provide opportunities for interested students to increase their knowledge of the issues and technologies that are shaping the telecommunications market, while at the same time providing invaluable support to the Commission.
Internships are arranged by the individual bureaus and offices of the Commission on a part- or full-time basis.
Internship applicants must be enrolled either on a full-time or at least a half-time basis at an accredited institution at both the beginning and end of the internship.
Prior to accepting the internship, the student should understand the nature of the tasks to be performed and the full set of responsibilities as established in the agreement between the Employer and the CBA Internship/Coop Coordinator.
Termination or resignation from an internship in progress should not be effected until the Department, Cooperative Education, and the organization have fully discussed the situation.
Once an internship arrangement is finalized, the employer and the student are expected to fully honor the arrangement.
