Hello!
I agree with the other person who answered this. It all has to do with what field you’re looking to get into. I completed an internship as an undergraduate while working on my Bachelors degree. Many companies post their internships to job boards like Indeed so you may want to start there. If there’s a specific company you’d like to intern for, I’d start by looking at the website to see if they offer any internships. You can also go through career services at the school you’re attending to see if they can help you. The first thing is deciding what you’d like to study then going from there. I hope this helps and good luck!!
Sincerely,
Brittany

It depends on what will be your major or concentration. I'd encourage you to think about what exactly do you want to get a masters in. Then from there you can reach out to universities to understand what specific courses they will offer. Also many of universities have programs with corporations across the globe, so your university should be able to help you select an internship.
As an example, the company that I worked for for 11 years, gave me an MBA internship experience and that's why I decided to work for them full time.

Hey,
Pursue the masters in the domain that is close to you, maybe an extension of what you'd pursued for your UG or even a new are that caught your interest lately. Either ways, internship would be a part of the syllabus. It generally depends upon the college you end up doing your degree, because, certain colleges have good alumni network that can be made use of for intership. Certain colleges invite companies to hire their students as interns. If both doesn't work, still there are lot of opportunities available in the job market and find one that suits you. Mostly, faculties will be always willing to help students find internships.

Master degree is specializing a particular subject. Therefore, you have to first identify your field of interest. One way to do is reading a variety of books. By doing so, you might come across your field of interest. It is very relevant to note that AI will do a lot of people's work in the future, especially routine, human works. Hence, you have to be careful while selecting a particular field. Best way is being open minded and acquiring knowledge. This process will allow you time and settle on your interest. One last advice: Become indispensable.

Hi Anna,
As several people have already suggested above, it will largely depend on what you wish to study in your graduate program. Have you had a chance to think more about that? If you are unsure what you are interested in studying, O*NET has a free interest profiler (it's like a self-assessment) you can take online to get some ideas for future careers that might suit you. From there, you can identify a few areas that interest you and research graduate programs that will help you build a career in that field. Here's the link to the assessment: https://www.mynextmove.org/explore/ip. O*NET is generally a great resource for learning about different occupations and the skills/education required. You might learn that perhaps you are interested in a field that doesn't require an advanced degree, in which case you may want to focus on getting hands-on work experience through an internship/job.
In terms of finding an internship, once you have an idea of the type of work you want to do, you can search online for internship positions. For example, if you decide to pursue a career in graphic design, you can search online using keywords such as "graphic design internship" or "art internship." I highly recommend creating a LinkedIn account if you don't already have one. LinkedIn is a professional platform for networking and finding jobs and internships. It's a very useful platform for connecting with people in your target field and industry, learning from them, and building your online presence.
I hope this helps, good luck!
Take the O*NET interest profiler assessment

Hey, I do agree with the previous answer to this question. It does depend on what you would like to further your education in such as Mathematics, Science or Administration. If you would like to further your education to become an administrator, then you would probably want to go into the school’s Leadership program. However, if it’s just in education, then you may want Master in Education.
