Experiential learning is the practical application of learning to solve real-world problems. For students, it is a way to bring classwork to life. Herein, it is case studies that take a retrospective view of what could happen, by analyzing how companies acted. Hands-on experience used to be provided in the form of an apprenticeship, but this concept has been transformed in the world today into internships and externships. These semester-long programs are offered as core curriculum in various undergraduate/graduate programs throughout the country. Students typically work in teams gaining short, practical, educational experiences in their respective fields of study. In this paradigm, the company also benefits by identifying and recruiting potential employees through such a process. The student teams are directed by educators and corporate staff, and typically present their findings at the conclusion of their program.
