Every organisation has their own requirements for their internships, so you need to research them individually.

However, there are some general things that might qualify you for an internship, such as:

  • being a student who is currently enrolled or has recently graduated from college or university,
  • being at least 18 years old,
  • having the desired qualifications that the company is looking for,
  • and any other experience in their field.

The application process can be a little intimidating, but it's important to make the effort because internships provide a great opportunity for experience and networking.
