Making Space

Maybe a hot take, but internships shouldn’t just be for college students What about the chronically ill 19-year-old who found college inaccessible but taught themselves graphic design on Youtube and designs for their social media page with over 14k followers but can’t get a job without corporate experience with clients? Or the newly Disabled professional looking to transition out of teaching and into a more flexible job who needs an internship to get his foot in the door in a new industry? Yet, so many internships are either exclusively for college students and/or require prior internship experience. Leading to the "can’t get work experience without work experience" loop. So, we teamed up with InvisiYouth - a nonprofit for chronically ill and Disabled teens and young adults - to share some tips on where to start. Mid/late career folks, help out our early career friends: What’s one thing you wish you knew when applying for your first internship?
