There is no global consensus on a single term for apprenticeship. Depending on the culture, country and sector, the same or similar definitions are used to describe the terms ''apprenticeship'', ''[[internship]]'', and ''trainee-ship''. The latter two terms may be preferred in the health sector. One example is ''[[Internship (medicine)|internships in medicine]]'' for physicians and ''trainee-ships'' for nurses – and western countries. ''Apprenticeship'' is the preferred term of the [[European Commission]] and the one selected for use by the [[European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training|European Center for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP)]], which has developed many studies on the subject. Some non-European countries adapt European apprenticeship practices.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
