Now is the time to start looking for summer internship opportunities in Metro Detroit and beyond. I Am Young Detroit has scoured the web to create this one-stop guide to finding your dream internship.
Regional
DetroitIntern.com President James Wahls describes the website as “a response to the young professional brain drain that is affecting Metro Detroit”. The website includes free registration, free resume filing, and the opportunity to apply for internships and jobs online. (Source)
Like DetroitIntern.com, at InternInMichigan.com students can search for an internship in their chosen field, post a profile, and apply. Partners include Detroit Regional Chamber, West Michigan Strategic Alliance, Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan, and Mid-Michigan Innovation Team.
Governor Jennifer M. Granholm’s initiative to help students find internships in the State of Michigan. The website links to internship postings on the Michigan Talent Bank website. Users can search for internships, upload their resume and cover letter, and apply directly from the site.
Craig’s List can be pretty hit or miss in their job category. Still, it’s worth keeping an eye on. You never know, you mind fight your dream internship amongst the scams, freelance opportunities, and “RE:” complaints.
National
Fastweb lists national internship opportunities along with their massive scholarship database. Complete your free profile and get automated internship matches and notifications.
Don’t take the trusted, tried, and true Monster.com, Monster College and CareerBuilder for granted.
Career Specific
The Louis Carr Internship Foundation (LCIF) is a registered nonprofit that provides 10 paid internships in communications to undergraduate students of color during the summer immediately following their freshman, sophomore or junior year of college. LCIF has a partnership with locally based advertising firm, Global Hue.
Michigan Cool Cities Internship
Through a partnership with the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University, the MSHDA’s Cool Cities initiative hosts an annual program placing students in internships and fellowships. The 2010 program kicks off with 39 undergraduate internships available through the three universities and the Michigan Suburbs Alliance, as well as seven summer fellowships for seniors and graduate students.
Other Ideas:
If there is a particular company you have in mind, don’t hesitate to contact their HR department directly to inquire about internship opportunities. If the company doesn’t have an internship program in place, why not volunteer yourself as the company’s guinea pig to help them develop one?
If you know of other local internship opportunities and resources available, feel free to mention them in the comments section below. IAYD would like to eventually create a regularly updated comprehensive internship resource guide page in the future.
Happy Hunting!
