Difference between Internship and training
- The key difference between the two is unlike a trainee program, employment at the completion of an internship is not guaranteed. Training is provided to the permanent employees of the Company either they are existing employees or new employees. After completing the internship term, you are not bound to work for the Company. While in case of training, you remain the permanent employee of the Company.
- Internship is for a fixed term, which can be up to 1 month to 12 months. After completion of internship, you are awarded with a certificate. However, training provides no certificate and often the term of training is less than internship. However, you can ask for a certificate also after training, which Company may issue at its discretion.
- Internship can be paid or unpaid. Sometimes companies charges fees from Government or institutes for providing internship. While employees are paid according to their fixed salary/employments during the training.
- Internship is compulsory for most degrees like Engineering, Finance and MBA programs. Training is not compulsory in most of the cases as sometimes new employees come with already gained experience. However, AICTE and HRD Ministry a likely to make internship compulsory for 2/3 months for all degrees shortly.

Interns traditionally may be fresh students from college/university, high school students, or post-graduate.

Virtual Internship by CMAI/TEMA
A virtual internship is a work experience program where the intern gains experience while working in a remote professional setting and is not physically present at the job location.
Virtual interns be in touch with their employer online through different means including email, Skype, Whatsapp, instant messaging, phone conversations, webinars, project management tools, SMS (text) messaging, etc. Virtual internships are undertaken by both students and graduates. Virtual internships are nowadays growing in popularity due to improving technology and the expansion of social media.
When people think of a Virtual Internship, they have a perception that it’s easier and doesn’t involve much work and you don’t get hands on experience, etc. But, these all are myths.
Firstly, there is a lot of work that comes with virtual internships. The good part is although there are many assignments and deadlines to meet, you can complete the work in your own time. It isn’t like a regular internship where you have to work continuously during specific hours. You need to hand in assignments on specified time, however you can work on them during a time that is convenient for you!
Benefits of Virtual Internship
The foremost benefit of an online internship is that all the resources you need are on your computer/laptop. This is quite convenient because most of the students carry their laptops around anyway and you can work from wherever there is an internet connection.
One important thing to note when looking into an online/virtual internship is your phone and email etiquette. Generally, contacting with your boss, co-workers, and potential clients will be via email and phone, therefore it is essential to note that you are being professional in your conversations. Candidates for virtual internships have a benefit when they are fluent in using new media.
Holding a virtual internship does have some necessities, but is a great opportunity for someone who can’t find time to hold a full-time internship but is willing to gain some experience in their field. This will also give an indication to future employers that you are familiar with being professional in your communication and have knowledge of the online world.
As you can see Virtual Internships can be a great opportunity for anyone!
