This depends entirely on the needs of your company, and your educational background, experience and level of motivation/flexibility. Remember that this is an internship for candidates seeking to gain new skills and knowledge. Whilst you may want a management position in the future, this will not be possible on an internship. You are there to learn and develop your skills and should be given work which will enable you to do this.

Even though you are an intern, you are bound by the same company rules as all other employees. You will be expected to be on time, carry out the tasks given to you, be professionally dressed and have a respectful and courteous attitude as you would in any job. Host companies accept candidates in good faith and require you to be committed to the internship. If you cannot uphold the rules then you can be fired. However we do strive to work out any problems between you and the company before it gets to this stage.
