apprenticeship
Usage Note
Tirocinio refers to a supervised training period, either vocational or professional — closer to 'internship' in a university or post-graduate context, but also used for mandatory clinical or legal traineeships (tirocinio forense for trainee lawyers). It is formal; the informal synonym is stage (pronounced in the French manner: 'stahj'), borrowed from French.
Examples
"Ha svolto il tirocinio in uno studio legale."
Natural Translation
She did her internship at a law firm.
