Who provides internships?

Internships can be done in many businesses, government agencies, volunteer organizations, corporate and independent television and film production companies, television and radio stations and networks, and through on-campus organizations.

Some students ask about doing an internship where they already work. It is NOT appropriate to simply get internship credit for the job you are already doing. Internships are not credit for life experience or work experience. However, it there is another job you can do as an intern for the organization in which you work so that you learn new skills and knowledge, this is acceptable. Just keep in mind that doing an internship at a different organization than the one in which you currently work adds another work experience to your resume.
