    Use the resources your school provides. When you do well in a project management related course, ask the professor if he or she will write a reference letter or be a reference.

    Check with the career development office for project management positions or internships.

    Some titles for entry project management positions are
    assistant project manager
    project coordinator
    project scheduler
    One way to learn more about project management is any position within a project management office (PMO).
    You could also try to manage projects within an industry or specialization that you already have. For instance, setting up new social work programs or grant-funded projects.
    Change management and product management are related areas that might also be of interest.
