If you’re an undergraduate trying to get work experience without losing track of your classes or your daily routine, a hybrid internship can be one of the most practical options. You can see how professionals plan their week, how teams share information, and what it feels like to handle tasks that contribute to a business or organization’s objectives.
Why should I participate in a hybrid internship as an undergraduate?
A hybrid internship allows you to gain useful professional experience without major disruptions to your schedule. You spend some days in person, picking up the details of how an office runs, and the rest working from home at your own pace. A hybrid internship adds valuable experience to your resume, which can strengthen your applications to jobs after graduation.
To help you sort through your choices, here are 15 hybrid internships for undergraduates!
