1. Using school’s resources, attend career fairs and talk to alumni on LinkedIn to ask about they’re experience
2. Using your connections, if someone you know is working at a company you’d like to intern with, approach them, present you strength and ask if they could assist you in the process. Asking for referrals from employees already working in the organization you're interested in. You can do this by simply searching the companies over linkedin and then writing cold messages along with your resume to a bunch of employees asking for referrals.
3. Various recruiting website , websites like indeed, jumpstart and handshake are all good resources
4. LinkedIn is one of the best places to search for internships. You can go ahead onto the "jobs" tab and filter out for internships. You can even specify the role that you want - for eg. "Software engineer intern".

1. College website usually have a tab called something like "programs" which will list all of the internships that are offered to students at that school.
2. Research local companies on LinkedIn to see who has open positions.
3. Find or join groups at your school that share an interest in your major or things you are passionate about. Those groups may already offer internship opportunities, but if they don't the members of those groups may offer some valuable insight about what they are doing. People can share their experiences and what has worked for them. Make sure to reach out to them and ask questions!
4. Timing is important when searching for an internship. If you are looking for a summer internship, jobs are usually posted in January or sometime in the spring.
5. Make sure to turn in your application as early as you can to make sure you get an early response!

There are multiple avenues through which to find an internship, though the search can feel daunting at first. Some tips are:
1) Use your network. Do you have parents, friends, classmates, people you have met through service work, professors, teachers who are in a field that interest you? Talk to them, and see if they know about places that are hiring or companies that are aligned with your interests.
2) Be open to experiences outside your major! For example, we are answering this question as a group of interns in the CVS Health Corporate General Management Internship Program. Many of us hail from extremely different backgrounds from Economics to Neurobiology. You can get something/learn a lot out of any high-quality internship as there are many transferable skills regardless of your background or path.
3) Search for companies you're interested in or the field you're interested in and look at job openings they have. For example, are you interested in Life Sciences Consulting? Search for specific companies that interest you and look through their Careers pages to look for internship openings.
4) Online resources such LinkedIn/Monster/Handshake/Google are always available
5) Utilize the Career Center at your college. They usually have many resources that go untapped by other students, as well as individuals within the Center who can answer your questions
6) Talk to students in classes above you and learn about their experiences. Find classmates and hear about their experiences. In addition, tap into the professional fraternities or career organizations on campus. Hear about your peers' experiences which can help you gain insight/leverage that network to find your own internship.
7) Finally, connect with people from your university on LinkedIn, etc. who are working full-time in the professional world and hear about their full-time work/internship experiences as well. Perhaps they can connect you with a recruiter or another individual who can help you out. This can once again help you gain insight/leverage that network to find your own internship.

These answers are being submitted on behalf of a group of student interns at Cloudera:
Talk to your school counselor as they can help provide resources on this. You can also utilize Google to search for internships in the areas you are interested in. It's also helpful to look into local youth programs, like the Boys & Girls Club, that can help you find an internship.
Don't be afraid to take a hold of the opportunities presented to you.

It depends on the industry - for example, corporate companies from IT often publish available internships on their job pages. Additionally, in many cases, there is a separate section for new graduates or students who do not have experience and would like to start their careers in that particular company.
