Abstract

Virtual internships became a necessity for many businesses during the spring and summer of 2020 due to government regulations concerning the COVID-19 epidemic. The use of virtual internships, however, has been rising even before the pandemic. This paper shares the available literature on the use and design of virtual internships to invite academic research into their effectiveness in comparison to the traditional internships whose benefits are already well documented. The paper will be of use to enterprises, educational institutions, and researchers in the area of experiential learning.
