Either are key to building up a network of contacts and experience when you look for full-time work. The main difference is that an apprenticeship is usually for a vocation/craft, like carpentry, mechanics, etc. An internship is basically anything else. Usually it implies work for a company, but sometimes they are personal assistant roles, and so on.

Apprenticeships also seem to be more intensive and focused on passing applicable skills to you (as CVs/resumes don't tend to be as important in those fields). They also imply that you've made a decision about your career. Internships can be used to try something out to see if you like it, or to gain experience for a career that you've decided on.
