 Find out which businesses in your city offer internship or apprenticeship opportunities for students within your area—start with your own community.

 Create your own internship program if there isn't one by pitching to a company in your community. Detail the skills you have that they need and what you can do to help them improve their business. Ask for a two‐week trial or project to help them see why they should bring you onto their team.

 Tap your local workforce development program to see what training programs they offer that also place you in an apprenticeship with a company.

 Find online internship programs that allow you to work from home—keep a plan of what you want to learn and build relationships with your colleagues for future job recommendations.

 Seek fellowship opportunities that are shorter in time and allow for travel or learning plus a stipend to help you transition in your skill (profellow.org is an excellent research tool that lets you search for opportunities here and abroad).

 Build your network by joining associations and groups that are connected to opportunities within technology—be it a local boot camp or meetup group—and ask around about fellowship opportunities.
