Script

Student workers such may be considered as a separate domain of the workforce.

Apprentices are those employees who are not fully qualified to perform the workload, but agreed to work usually for a part of the fully-skilled worker compensation under the condition of educational assistance to gain the needed work-related competence.

Apprenticeship usually last for 2-4 years. Apprenticeship may or may not be aligned with a formal training of educational institutions. The employee compensation of the apprentices usually increases as their competence does.

Interns are also about to gain the competence, but they must be enrolled in formal training. Interns are students of institutions such as tertiary and vocational schools. Their institutions usually arrange internships or residency training. For students of select professional specialties, most notably, medical students, long-term internship is the mandatory requirement for their graduation.

Those interns are employed are called paid. Those interns who volunteer for non-profit organizations can be referred as unpaid interns.
