I would really love to help. However getting internship means working on your credentials and skills. You may explore the basics, learn Excel or maybe a programming language. You may also keep an eye out for openings in insurance companies, consulting firms, or even government gigs. Networking and honing your skills is key, so hit up LinkedIn and connect with actuaries in the field. Hope this helps! 😊

In some countries (mainly third world countries) some companies will keep you working as an intern with an intern salary and without medical insurance for as long as they can, but you have all the responsibilities and are liable to all the legal consequences of your actions without a union to represent you.
