Where to find internship opportunities

DESCRIPTION

An internship is a time-limited, intensive learning experience outside the traditional classroom. You work in a supervised learning situation with an employer doing planned learning activities. Internships give you an overview of occupational fields, while providing opportunities to experience work responsibilities and develop work-readiness skills. Some internships are paid; some are non-paid. The following list are some examples of sites where you can find internship opportunities.
