What is means by paid internship and unpaid internship
Unpaid Internships:
An unpaid internship is a viable option for many students and is a great way to get experience without any stress. As the name suggests, doing an unpaid internship means you will not get any stipend or salary after the internship ends. There are both pros and cons of such internships. www.internmeets.com The pros may include
Highlights
- • Expectations are usually much lower for unpaid internships, so you get the experience without as much stress to meet deadlines.
- • Based on your performance, the employer may choose to give you an incentive at the end of the internship.
- If the employer likes your performance, there is a chance that they will approach you for full-time employment or offer you a paid internship.
The cons may include:
- • The most obvious disadvantage is, they are unpaid, which can be demoralising.
- • Your trainers often may not put as much effort into teaching you and instead just get you to shadow their work.
- • You can feel a little left out and not fully part of the company or team you are working with.
Paid Internships
Paid internships differ primarily from unpaid internships in terms of flexibility and workload. For starters, you will be treated as an employee of the company, and as you are paid, they will expect you to produce work that is of value to them. Some of the pros of paid internships include:
- • You get paid! Everyone knows that being a student is not cheap, so receiving some type of pay can be of great help.
- • You typically will be more involved and get to work on more exciting projects, unlike unpaid internships.
- • An unpaid internship looks much better on your CV as it shows that you were a valued employee of the company. www.internmeets.com
