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.
