If you are doing an internship search, ask professionals you know
A great source of information when doing any type of internship search are those people who are already highly placed business professionals. These people know the ins and outs of their respective companies, and they can advise you on any present or future employment opportunities. They can also give you valuable information on who to contact, as well as what the program requirements are. Knowing what a company will expect ahead of time can help to give you the edge in landing one of the available slots. In some cases, these folks may be willing and able to give you a good recommendation to the person who will be doing the hiring.
