Regarding Scams:

As you search, be aware there are those who offer "opportunities" with malicious intent. Bogus business opportunities and job scams are unfortunately not altogether uncommon. Here is a list provided by the Federal Trade Commission of 1o things you can do to avoid fraud. For example, you should never provide your bank account or credit card information to a would be employer. Below are also two informational videos produced by the FTC regarding fraudulent jobs.

      

Regarding Internships:

An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent. - As defined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
