Kate you are both right and wrong,work expirience is mostly done by school kids.I'm in the trade industry and my wife works in a law firm and i can assure you ,these kids get nothing at all in term of money,summer clerk relates to UNI students (future laywers or any professional) and they do get paid.this is discrimination ,as for intership,i'm still confused

I sure was paid when doing work experience (Telstra and Baillieu Library at Melbourne University). Youngsters on work experience in my Institution get paid too. Token money but well deserved for doing often boring tasks. The employer need not pay but it is a matter of conscience. As it is, most employers will give some remuneration.

As Kate says and as I wrote some time ago, the term "Internship" implies medical training to Australian minds. It might not be so in other English speaking countries.

Lets get it right one for all . Internship is a name used mostly within the medical industry.,matter closed

Aux US, la traduction pour stage c'est internship. Bien sur y a aussi le mot intenship correspondant a notre internat de medecine.

Ici, je sais pas quel est le terme exact, mais chaque fois que je dis a quelqu'un que j'ai fait un intership a NY, on me comprend parfaitement. Et ma copine, qui est australienne (et qu'a fait un stage la-haut aussi) utilise toujours le terme internship elle aussi.

je me souviens avoir apris a l'ecole qu'on pouvait utiliser l'expression "training session", mais en tout franchise je l'ai jamais entendu prononce une seule fois.

tof

il est là le problème !!

tu vas sur tous les trucs officiels, ils te disent que stage ça se traduit internship...

ça me gave je crois que je vais tout simplement pas faire de stage là bas!!

Plus vous répondez, moins je comprends...

C'est comme les trous dans le gruyere.... ou le sucre dans le lait chaud...

Of course, there's another possibility, in that maybe everybody is right - or at least partly right - maybe the terms vary from state to state in Australia, just like the road rules used to be different in different states
