Summer Internships for High School Students

Thursday May 15, 2008
If you are thinking about going into business, it's never too early to start accumulating work experience. A summer internship or two will pad your college application and may even help you get other jobs later on in life.

Internships are relatively easy to find--particularly if you're looking for work experience versus actual pay. You can introduce yourself to different businesses with a cover letter that explains what you are looking for.

You might also want to check online. Vault.com has a fantastic list of summer internships for high school students on their site. The list is filled with really exciting opportunities.

I completely agree with Bob. Vault.com is of little help. Was looking for high school student internships and after searching, could not find anything of any real substance.
