Fun facts about the evolution of Internship!!

There are few more formative times in a person’s professional career than the internship.
Sure, you might only be grabbing coffee and picking up dry cleaning by day while eating ramen noodles at night, but it’s a vital first step to getting that coveted first paying job after college.

The internship wasn’t always the glamorous, cushy experience it is today. Its roots are in the apprenticeship. Not until the 1990s did the internship as we know it today start to formalize.
