Database Instructions:

This website is designed to be as simple to use as possible. There are a few features of the search engine that you should keep in mind during your search: The searchable database is broken down into four fields of inquiry based on organization (name), field of study (discipline), location (state), and deadline date (whether the program is currently active or inactive). You can leave any field of inquiry unchanged or unselected. This will allow you to access the results for all options under a particular search criterion. For example, say you want to search for all possible internship opportunities in the state if Ohio. You would then select “OH” under the State box and leave the other search fields unselected. Please note that the deadline date field is set to “Active” by default so that your search will bring up internships currently available. If you would like to search for all internships regardless of the deadline, you can change this option to “Both”. Additionally, if you do not have a preference on location, you can check the "nationwide" box. Then all entries based on your other preferences will be displayed regardless of location. It is possible to select more than one choice in any of the fields (for example, more than one state or more than one discipline) by holding down the CTRL key while you click on your selections with the mouse. You also may use the CTRL key to de-select a choice if you change your mind. If you want to de-select all search criteria and start over, there is a "reset" button at the bottom of the page. When you have entered all of your desired search criteria, hit the search button and the results of your search will appear. Keep in mind that the results of your search may be listed on more than one page. To get more information on one of the available programs listed on the results page, click on the organization name and a new page with detailed information will appear. If you still desire more information, then in most cases a link is provided both to the organization homepage and also (if available) its own college program site. If you still have questions about the internship database and search engine, please refer to our FAQ page or post your question on the Tech-Interns message board. Let's get started!
