Thirteen Sites for Finding an Internship

This job (and technically it is not a job) may not be for you, personally. It may be for the teen in your family. Regardless, I hope it helps whoever reads it.

According to the US Department of Labor, an internship program must meet six specific standards.

1. The intern has to receive training that is equivalent to a vocational school.
2. The intern benefits from the experience
3. The intern cannot displace an employee
4. There is no immediate advantage from the Intern's Activities
5. There is no guarantee of a job
6. There is an understanding that the intern will not be paid

To translate the legalese, an intern is an unpaid person who works for a company that should get nothing substantial from the work the intern performs, yet the interns learns from the experience, doesn't replace a current employee and receives no promise that they will be hired.

Sounds real enticing!

In addition to the support provided by your student's university, here are a few websites that can help your "intern-to-be" find an internship program
