Script

A couple of more categories refer to student workers.

Apprentices are not fully qualified to perform the workload, but agreed to work usually for a part of the fully-skilled worker compensation under the condition of educational assistance to gain the needed work-related competence. Their employee compensation usually increases as their competence does.

Interns must be enrolled in formal training through some educational institutions such as vocational schools or universities. They can be paid or, if they volunteer, non-paid.

Employee Compensations is the successor lectio.
