You might try describing it an as internship or volunteer work.
No - this is treated like an unpaid internship.
Not hard at all. Unpaid internships ae easier to find then paid ones. Ask teachers and counselors for guidance.
An internship is an opportunity that allows someone, usually a student, the ability to train and learn about a job they might be interested in the future. Many are unpaid, or offer credits for college.
There was a contest in 2007 offering a three weeks internship unpaid. But it didn't really sound like an internship, just more something where they show you an office or two and you probably do coffee runs. Who knows how much Lauren and Whitney are getting paid.
Unfortunately sometimes you have to start at the bottom and get an internship. These are sometimes unpaid, but if you are lucky you can get a paid position! Don't get discouraged this is a very difficult field to break into.
Ralph Lauren only offers unpaid internship to college students (that means you must be above 17 years old) for school credit.
Sort of. Pilots train and become qualified for each level of this skilled trade. The internship at the large passenger carriers is called being a co pilot. The idea of unpaid intern ship can be equated to a junior pilot training beginning pilots to gain experience but not getting paid.
Considering the area that you live in, you can send an email or even a phone call to a local technology company outlining your interest to work for them. At your age, you probably do not have much experience, so be prepared for unpaid or even low paid internships. But even if it is unpaid, think of it this way, the experience you are investing in will pay off in the long run. The most important thing is to not give up, emphasize your willingness to work and your enthusiasm, and companies will be willing to take you for an internship.
