Hey Paige! Here are some exciting ways for a high school student to discover summer internship opportunities:
- Reach out to your school’s guidance counselor or career center. They are often super helpful and eager to assist students in finding great internships.
- Connect with family, friends, and teachers. You never know—sometimes the best opportunities come from people you already know and trust.
- Explore online job boards. Websites like Indeed.com, LinkedIn, and internships.com have special sections just for internships, making it easier to find the right fit.
- Get in touch with companies directly. Even if they don’t have a formal internship program, they might be open to creating a spot for a motivated student like you.
- Visit career fairs. These events are fantastic for meeting representatives from various companies all in one place.
- Look into internship programs. Amazing organizations like the Smithsonian Institution and NASA offer exciting and competitive summer internships for high school students.
