The term 'Practical Trainee' can be abbreviated to 'INTERN' (6 letters). An INTERN is typically a student or recent graduate who works in a temporary position with an organization in order to gain practical experience in their chosen field. Internships are often unpaid, but may provide benefits such as housing, meals, or transportation. Interns are usually supervised by experienced staff and may be given tasks such as research, data entry, or customer service.
