Explore possibilities on social media
Social media is the first solution to anything these days. Almost all companies have a social media presence and some of them maintain a discipline of replying to the messages they get on social media. So, you can mention your intent of interning with a brand/company you personally like in the message itself. One key thing would be to not send a very long message and draft it professionally. The other good platform would be LinkedIn, while the general perception is that it’s a platform for the job hunt, you will be pleasantly surprised with the number of internship opportunities on the app. You can search for internships and find multiple options to apply at, some of them are also paid internships, so giving LinkedIn a try is a strong recommendation.
Recruitment agencies
