They can be paid or unpaid, but the most common form is an unpaid internship.
For example, if you are a student in college studying how to manage businesses, an internship might see you going to a bank or other business and taking a position as an assistant to a manager so that you can see how they work, and how problems involving the career you are learning about are solved in the real world.

what you do there is like it's like a part time job to experience it and see what it's like and everything, and they pay you.
