Decent PE Internships?

Curious to crowd source ideas around decent PE or PC internships in the Chicago area that would be good resume builders to eventually land a full-time gig. Ideally looking for part-time MBA level internships (unpaid is fine - not prioritizing money), and not startup search funds that hire a bunch of undergrads.

Thanks!
