Education Internships: How to Land One
The fastest way to get a education internship is to email companies directly. Edtech companies, universities, and nonprofits in education are unusually open to motivated students reaching out directly. FirstInternships lists 847 education companies including companies like A2SV, Aalto University, ACT, Inc., Actualize Coding Bootcamp and thousands more — with a personalized email written for each.
Why direct outreach works in education
Most education internships are never posted publicly. A concise, specific email to the right recruiting inbox reaches a real person and skips the applicant-tracking system — which is why it consistently gets more replies than job-board applications.
How to reach education companies
- Pick 20–50 education companies you'd want to work at.
- Email each recruiting inbox directly with a short, personalized note.
- Tie one real thing you've done to what the company does.
- Attach your resume, send from your own email, and follow up once.

How do I get a education internship?
Email education companies directly instead of only applying online. Send a short, specific note to their recruiting inbox, connect one real thing you've done to what they do, and ask if they take interns. FirstInternships has 847 education companies you can reach this way.
Do education companies take interns with no experience?
Many do — especially smaller ones. Reaching out directly and showing genuine interest matters more than prior experience.
