Job Shadows, Internships, Rotations: What’s the Difference?

Job shadowing, or observations, are for students who are enrolled in a class that requires observational experience to complete the course, or are a student who is applying for a school program that requires observations to apply as prerequisite.

Internships are paid or unpaid short-term work experiences. We offer internships to students who are required to have this experience as part of their education.
