Internships that I can apply for that do not require any experience

Greeting Barbara, my name is Jakelin and I am currently a second year with my major being civil engineering. I have done research towards this major before actually declaring it and I can say I really think I would enjoy it. I was wondering if you would know of any internships that I can apply for that do not require any experience? I have done some research and I have not found any. I also just want to appreciate you in taking your personal time to answer our questions.

    Javelin,

    Thank you for reaching out. 

    It would be difficult for me to recommend specific internships as I don't know where you are located. I agree that it can be a challenge to find internships when you don't have any experience, but there are oftentimes companies who have strong connections to the university who will accept inexperienced interns, especially if they are willing to intern without salary. My suggestion to you is that you speak with your professors and ask them if they know of such companies. Additionally, you could ask about internships within the university. I know this doesn't give you the chance to experience an office environment, but it will add to your resume.

    Hope this helps,

    Barbara Mulkey
