Don’t dismiss the idea of high school internships until you’ve got the facts.
First, let’s bust a few myths:
- Internships aren’t just for recent grads and college students
- Not all of them are unpaid
- It’s not just getting coffee, making copies, and being the office errand-runner
Now that we’ve cleared that up, keep in mind that timing is everything. March and April are prime application time for summer internships.! Read on for facts, tips and resources to help you decide if an internship is right for you, and how to get started.
Types of internships The best internship options for high schoolers are: paid, unpaid, for-credit and not-for-credit. Though each one varies, they’re similar in that they all help with early stage career-building, look great on college applications, help you make industry connections, are a chance to lock down high-level references and referrals, and ultimately, can lead to a permanent job.
Paid: Don’t expect to be rolling in dough, but do expect to be rich with experience. • US Secret Service • GeoSciences Bridge Program • Microsoft • Google
Unpaid: Same idea as a paid internship, but make sure you are getting a fair payoff of exposure, learning, and networking opportunities. • Harvard Summer Program for High School Students • Stanford University Research Program • Wedding & Event Planning • Environmental Protection Agency
For-Credit: Many high schools and colleges offer internship programs in exchange for school credit. The idea is to help you work toward graduation, and once you have your degree, you’ll have that much more experience in your field! Many of these internships can also be done for non-credit. Not-For-Credit internships are usually for students who do not need any additional credit on their transcripts, but want more practical experience. (Note: these are traditionally for college-bound students or college students, but you can still keep an eye out to see if they can be obtained while in high school) • Engineering • Technical Intern • Creative Services • Digital Media • Legal Justice
Benefits We already busted the myth that interns live to serve coffee, run errands and make copies. What you can expect is behind-the-scenes access to action that’s usually reserved for seasoned professionals. It’s a great way to “try on” an industry, business, or career before taking the plunge for real.
Some more benefits of internships: • Work experience trumps any and all coursework or volunteering...it’s a great resume booster. • Automatic references and referrals • Network connections and contacts • RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE! A student internship is a rare opportunity to obtain actual work credit, which will make you stand out against other high schoolers with no work experience and increase your chances of landing a job.
SIDE NOTE: This kind of “career exploration” isn’t exclusive to only students who plan to go to college. Apprenticeships are a great way for vocational school students or trade workers to gain practical hands-on experience and training in a specialized field.

High school is not too early to start thinking ahead, and an internship is just that: an investment or in your future.
So, overall, think of an internship as a unique chance to “test drive” and explore an interest. No contracts signed, no long-term commitments. It’s less about making money and more about getting hands on, in your face, real-world experience.

Hello everyone! I am curious and wanted to ask you all if it is possible to do an internship out of state? If anyone has done it, how did you do it? Thanks!
I graduated from Purdue last December 2016. My degree is B.S in graphic design which is animation focus. However, due to the scarcity of jobs in this field, I decided to look for a junior level graphic designer job with the marketing focus. I have been applying for many positions online for months, mainly internship and having a bad luck with all tried. I have an online portfolio and LinkedIn page set up for the job searching but I still not getting any interview offered. I'm almost exhausted with all available options right now. Lend me a hand if you know anything about that field. I just need some directions to follow.
Does anyone have any information on free apprenticeships for HVAC or construction in NYC?
