An internship is a directed, practical learning experience, outside of the normal classroom setting, in which students sharpen skills, gain experience through work on advanced productions, apply classroom learning to professional settings or projects, and learn first hand how professional companies or organizations operate. You should realize that most internships are an opportunity for you to learn and observe, therefore you may be assigned to do what appear to be somewhat menial tasks. The main point is that you are in a situation that will allow you to observe and become acquainted with this industry in a more specific way.
