Alternatives to In-house Internship with social distancing

Written by
Due to the present situation, AICTE has asked students not to take internships outside the organizations. Many companies have canceled or delayed the internships as well. This has created a lot of confusion among the students because an internship is a direct link between Campus and Corporate.

So, in order to get the learning and experience that one gets from internships, you can choose from the following alternatives:

Online Internships:

This is a digital era. Everything is turning digital and so has the internships. Since in office Internships is no more possible and safe, online internships are the best way to go for the same. A website like Internshala helps you to get such remote internships with many startups as well as developed organizations.

Online Challenges and Hackathons:

A company like Beatest has developed a platform where colleges can enroll in online Mock Tests and Industry-specific Hackathons. These challenges and hackathons provide you an experience of inhouse work environment where you get to develop your skills as well as to know what is lacking in your profile. So you can ask your college to contact such companies

Startups:

Like many others, startups are also going through hard days. So approach some startups through online medium and ask them for if they can provide you with some remote work. They may not pay you but you can ask them to avail you with an experience certificate. This is a great option for those who have learning agility.

Start your own project:

Lockdown has given you a great opportunity to convert your idea into a project since you have an ample amount of free time. So research, connect with people in the relevant industry through online channels, talk to them, gain insights and start working on the same. This will not only provide you with the experience that you might have earned through internship but will also end you up with your own startup for you to work on at the end of your course.

Online Job Opportunities:

There are websites like Freelancer, UpWork that have been recommended by many freelancers. You can take up a freelance job not only to understand and learn new things but also to get some pocket money. Many freelancers claim to earn huge amounts through freelance jobs. 

Thus, don't waste your time. Take obstacles as challenges and utilize your time productively. 

All the best!
