HI Syed, Gurpreet here from CareerVillage! These links look very promising and help address the student's question but I was curious as to how you found them? What did you type in to yield these search results? I ask so that Michael (and future students!) can find even more resources
Gurpreet Lally, Admin
Hi Gurpreet, I used some simple Google searches and just used the links on the first page:
1. College programs for high school students list
2. College programs for high school students
3. High school internship summer programs
4. List of companies that hire high school students
5. List of internships for high school students

I think a platform that's really helpful is LinkedIn - not only does it provide the companies and the different jobs offered, but it shows you people in your LinkedIn network that work at those companies. This gives you a list of people to reach out to and give you a leg up in terms of standing out from other candidates who are applying to the same roles. There are also many filters for the kind of role (intern, full time, part time, etc.), location, etc.

Hi Michael,
I would suggest you create a lengthy profile on Glassdoor and LinkedIn. Keep connecting with HR's of different companies and send them an email and let them know about your career path. Ask them if there is something aligned to your career path and they have some opportunities for paid/unpaid internships.
It's highly likely that they would respond back to your first message, but keep trying hard. Start with making at least 30 connections per day and speak to at least 10 recruiters daily.

In addition to all the resources available through the interest, I would suggest reaching out to the teachers to see what other resource they can share with you to help you find internship or volunteer opportunities.

You can google the top 20 companies and research internships. You can also email the companies and inquire about interns. There are abundance of companies that love to intern. That's a great way to become a full term employee.
Good Luck!

I would reach out to your teachers and see if they know of any internships or work opportunities. Check the websites of companies that you'd like to work for someday and send inquiry emails. Even if a company doesn't know of an internship, they might know of other companies that do offer internships. If you can't find a summer internship, you could also try working at a summer camp. You'll make a lot of new friends and you can often leverage new connections to find job/internship opportunities.
If you are looking for an internship related to business, you might be interested in looking at internships with the big 4 accounting firms: PwC, Deloitte, KMPG, or EY.

Hi Michael! In addition to the great resources already listed above, I would highly encourage you to leverage a network you may not realize you have. Talk to any adults in your life (teachers, counselors, parents/guardians, coaches, family friends, etc.) and see if these individuals either work in a field or at a company that interests you. If not, see if they have connections that do, and ask for contact information. Reach out to any contacts you find, and express your interest in learning about their career and any potential internship opportunities. It's great that you're already seeking an internship, and I cannot understate the importance of leveraging your personal connections. Best of luck!

Hi Michael. It's great to get any work experience that will help you learn what you enjoy and don't enjoy! I am a fan of any kind of work experience to start - if you have already had a job - retail, food service, waiting tables - great! If not, ANY JOB is great! But if you can get a job in a field area you are interested in - that's even better! There are so many resources for jobs/internships. LinkedIn is a great resource. Indeed.com seems to be a good source as well. Good luck!

Riley’s Answer
I would start by creating a LinkedIn account and start searching for internships in your area, while also messaging/connecting with professionals that work for those organizations. Making these connections early on will increase your chances of getting an opportunity to work or have an internship with that specific company.

HI Atzin, Gurpreet here from CareerVillage! Although your response is much appreciated and addresses the student's question, sending a Google link isn't the most helpful way to respond. Any additional insight you have for Michael would be helpful

Internships are awesome! Pending on what type of internship you would like to do, you can choose a company/field and go directly to their website. Often times the company will have it posted in the "career" section of the website. Hope this helps!!

Shabeer’s Answer
Hi Michael L.
You can approach the HR department () of the companies & see whether they provide an internship.
LinkedIn will be the best source to get the contact info.
Drop an email to the person & ask them to guide to the right person if they are not the one who can help.
All the best !!
