Finding an Internship​

Finding an internship can be overwhelming, but there are several ways in which to do so:
  • Tapping into a personal network is the best way to go: ask around in your neighborhood, your parent’s workplace, your friend groups, your clubs, and more. Many opportunities go unnoticed simply because of the lack of people that learn about them. All you have to do is ask!
  • Any job listed on our board can qualify!
  • If you already have a job, you can turn it into your internship. Just make sure you meet the basic requirements we’ve discussed
