The one condition which may not work for some, is that once the internship is complete, they need to be able to rely on you to do paid part time work for them if they require it. I.e, don't get us to train you and then piss off and refuse to work for us.
If you are using it to get into a job further down the track, you would need to budget for the possibility of having to fit their work in as well.
