My DC had two and neither were busy work. So much so the first gave him writing credits, and the second brought in a Stanford-trained expert to help answer his questions because the owner didn’t know the program and was getting paid a lot of money for the data. Find small - medium companies. Though, the large companies will offer post-grad jobs to outstanding interns.

For the co-eds it’s excellent experience for everything that ISN’T covered in college - navigating corporate hierarchy, social systems, managing and executing internal communications, hands-on experience with company software and analytics tools, managing group work and peer relationships, etc

Especially during the summer when things in most industries I can think of (excluding travel & hospitality) slow down. What do companies do with during the other 9 months of summer when business is actually busy?
Also, seems companies are giving less return offers due to budget restraints
I have a sophomore engineering major who's being flown all over to various sites and working on real technical problems while making bank this summer. For a 19 year old, it's been a very eventful internship and I'd imagine it'll be very helpful for when they graduate.
private industry tech or labs.
