Internships in the Cleveland, OH metro area

While searching online earlier this evening, I stumbled upon some listings for summer internships (some paid, some not) in the Cleveland metropolitan area. Below are the ones I found that seemed most interesting (and legit - lol). If you are interested, please contact the companies directly. As these are NOT positions I represent, there is no need to mention me or my company. The only reason I am posting them is because I am hoping one of you may be interested and get the internship. Sappy but true. And, if you do apply and are offered one, let me know. That way, I know that this post wasn't for naught.

- Comments welcome.
