But what actually qualifies you for an internship? Or what are the requirements needed to complete an internship at an organisation?
Every organisation has their own requirements for their internships, so you need to research them individually.
However, there are some general things that might qualify you for an internship, such as:
- being a student who is currently enrolled or has recently graduated from college or university,
- being at least 18 years old,
- having the desired qualifications that the company is looking for,
- and any other experience in their field.
The application process can be a little intimidating, but it's important to make the effort because internships provide a great opportunity for experience and networking.
In order to apply for an internship, you need to know what's expected of you by the company that you're applying to.
A good way to find internships is to use your network, or reach out to a company you would like to work for and make a general inquiry.
