the best educaton of all is on the job. An internship is indispensible and should be your main goal while in school.
if the school you go to doesn’t have a mandatory internship, then it’s up to you to get one. Once you have a couple years worth of work in your portfolio start the interview process. don’t worry about it now, even without a formal support system in place you should be able to find what you need at school.
work hard and good luck
