  2. INTRO EDUCTION Once students have identified potential internship opportunities, the next step is to prepare and submit their applications. Here are some tips to help teens navigate the application process.

  3. RESUME PREPARATION A well-crafted resume is essential for any internship application. Students should highlight their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and any previous work experience. Including relevant skills and coursework can also strengthen the resume. It’s important to tailor the resume to each specific internship by emphasizing experiences and skills that align with the job description.

  4. WRITING A COVER LETTER A cover letter provides an opportunity to showcase a student’s enthusiasm for the position and explain why they are a good fit. The cover letter should be concise, well- written, and personalized for each internship application. It should highlight key accomplishments, relevant skills, and explain how the internship aligns with the student’s career goals.

  5. GATHERING REFERENCES Most internship applications require references from teachers, coaches, or previous employers who can vouch for the student’s character and abilities. Students should choose references who know them well and can speak to their strengths and work ethic. It’s a good practice to ask for references well in advance and provide them with information about the internship and any specific qualities they should highlight.

  6. PREPARING FOR INTERVIEWS If an application is successful, the next step is usually an interview. Students should prepare by researching the company, understanding the role, and practicing common interview questions. Mock interviews with family members, friends, or school counselors can help build confidence and improve interview skills. It’s important to dress appropriately, arrive on time, and be polite and professional during the interview.

  7. FOLLOWING UP After submitting an application or attending an interview, students should follow up with a thank-you email to express their appreciation for the opportunity. This shows professionalism and reinforces their interest in the position. Following up can also keep the student’s application top of mind for the employer.

  8. CONCLUSION Preparing a strong application, including a well-crafted resume and personalized cover letter, is crucial for securing an internship. Once in the role, setting goals, being proactive, seeking feedback, building relationships, reflecting on the experience, and maintaining professionalism are key to maximizing the benefits of the internship.
