  Work-and-learn experiences are opportunities to gain hands-on experience in careers that interest you while you're still in school. They include activities such as in-person or virtual internships, micro-internships, practicums, or clinicals, and in some cases, special projects and apprenticeships. It includes project work in a real-world context to help you better understand a career and the world of work. There are also a number of ways you can engage with employers to prepare for a work-and-learn experience, such as job site tours, career fairs, or job shadowing.
