Structure: Apprenticeships include a structured training plan, with a focus on mastering specific skills an employer needs to fill an occupation within their organization.
Internships aren’t structured and often focus on entry-level general work experience.

Mentorship: Apprentices receive individualized training with an experienced mentor who walks them through their entire process. Internships do not always include mentorship.

Pay: Apprenticeships are paid experiences that often lead to full-time employment. Internships are often unpaid and may not lead to a full-time job.
Credential: Apprenticeships lead to an industry-recognized credential. Internships typically do not lead to a credential.
