I've explored various "virtual internships" but was told by every formal internship program that they required a physical office space with full time, on site, supervision.
Really?? Have you ever worked with companies like youtern? Internmatch? There are some cool options out there for virtual interns but just unclear if there is less value for both parties?
Some colleges do insist on a "brick and mortar" office environment for college credit. However, many -- such as Columbia and Champlain -- are moving toward acceptance of virtual internships as bona fide experiential education opportunity. Check out YouTern.com... you'll find many available internships there.
