SNIPPET:
An ounce of experience can be worth a ton of research—especially when it comes to exploring careers. Internships are one of the best ways to get that experience and to test a career choice. And later, when it’s time to get a job, internships attract employers.
Internships provide short-term, practical experiences for students, recent graduates, and people changing careers. Most internships are designed for college students, but many are open to high schoolers; others welcome career changers seeking exposure to a new field.
This overview is geared toward college students. It discusses the who, where, which, and how of pursuing an internship.
