Q&A: is internship experience considered as real working experience?

Question by niki nik: is internship experience considered as real working experience?
I got a technical internship through AIESEC. The duration of this internship is 12-18 months. Will my internship experience be counted as “working experience” so that its comes accountable for further jobs or for MBA programs that i apply for after the completion of the internship?

I don’t know precisely about whether it will work for job experience for the MBA program, but it will count in other places.
