Instructions

1. Evaluate your options. The sources that you can use to find product management internships as a college student are going to be different than the ones that you can use if you are not a college student.

2. Take advantage of college career resources and internship program relationships. If you are a college student then you can utilize the product management internship programs that have already been set up by your school. Many colleges develop ongoing relationships with companies so that they can guarantee their students an appropriate internship as part of their degree program.

3. Identify local product management job internship sources. Classified ads in local newspapers, local employment agencies and even local business organizations can all be tapped for potential internship leads.

4. Locate online product management internship lead sources. Job search websites like MonsterTRAK and AfterCollege both offer searches for product management job internships.

5. Contact companies that produce products you enjoy to see if they offer an internship program in their product management department. You can find their contact information, internship opportunities and general company information on their website. For example, Hormel Foods offers a product management internship that you can learn about by visiting the Hormel website.
