I'm not sure when an internship becomes significant enough to be called an apprenticeship or if that change requires a different set of responsibilities by the employer. In graphic design here in the US, internships are common (in our program at East Carolina University, they are optional but strongly encouraged) but I would not consider them to be even condensed apprenticeships.
University of Cincinnati has a requirement for a major internship. I believe it is at least a full semester of full time work for a design firm.
