Pandemic alters internships for students seeking experience

For some students, internships have remained hard to find during the pandemic.
Students have worked hard to adjust to online classes. Along with their course load, many students seek experiential learning opportunities outside of the virtual classroom through internships to enhance their portfolios and to prepare themselves for the workforce.
But complications caused by COVID-19 have halted or changed internships.
“I have not found an internship, and it’s been really hard because there’s less opportunities to network with people in person due to (COVID-19),” said marketing and supply chain management junior Nina Joseph. “I am a person who thrives on speaking with people in person, so having to switch over to Zoom screens has been very challenging because of all the awkward social encounters that come with technology.”
More than one hundred young people from India to the USA teamed up and submitted poems, videos, songs, collages, zines and more to the challenge.
Today, the winners were announced: you can find them below. Congratulations to the winning and commended artists, and the longlisted artists. Young Poets Network wants to thank everyone who took part in this unusual challenge, especially Long Row Primary School in Derbyshire who entered more than twenty of their pupils, and hopes you all keep collaborating.
First prize:Anime Boyz by Lydia Wei, Em Power, Adelina Rose Gowans, Sanjula Narayanan, Ann Dinh, Anne Rong, Carly Chan, Mae, Melissa Sibilla, Mica Pascual, Nina Joseph, Peach and Sherri Keys (zine)
