你可以从网上搜索高中生的实习机会开始. Job search sites like Indeed.com或Monster.com, 学生可以搜索“实习”加上任何他们感兴趣的领域,并将搜索范围缩小到他们想要工作的地方. 或者他们可以使用通用搜索引擎搜索他们感兴趣的组织名称加上“实习”.” (See below for several resources with internship listings.)
如果你的学生在找一份合适的实习工作时遇到了困难,他们可能需要发挥创造力. 想想他们想要什么样的工作或者他们想要提高的技能, 然后试着在社区里寻找提供这种工作的人和地方. If your student is interested in business, 例如, 他们可能想提高自己的软技能,比如时间管理或口头沟通, by working with a local entrepreneur to get first-hand experience.
Internship-seekers may want to make a list of their interests, 人才, 和激情, both in and outside of their studies, 比如电子游戏, 街头艺术, 或者制造机器人来帮助他们缩小可能感兴趣的潜在实习机会.
“Play to your strengths,” Pierre Huguet, CEO and co-founder of H&C Education, a college admissions consultancy, 告诉你.S. 新闻 & 世界报道. “你的实习应该是一个机会,去探索你真正感兴趣的东西,而这些东西在学校里学不到. With a little creativity, 你总能找到一种方法,在你的才能和激情的交叉点上追求令人印象深刻的项目.”
Once students have their list of their interests and skills, they should reach out to extended family, 朋友, 老师, 和教练, their networks on social media... 询问是否有人知道在哪里可以找到高中生实习机会,或者他们是否愿意在夏天接受专业指导.
他们也可以直接联系当地企业,询问实习机会,要求与老板或经理交谈,并描述他们正在寻找什么.
But before students start asking for an internship, they first need to be ready to explain what they can offer.
