Is there any experience requirement to start a career in forensic science?
Some laboratories offer trainee positions that do not require prior training in the forensic science field. Trainee positions are not often available. It may be necessary to consider doing an internship in a crime laboratory to gain experience. Unfortunately, there is no official listing for these opportunities and you will need to contact the laboratory you are interested in working for. The internship may be easiest to do while you are a student. In fact, some universities give credit for and/or require an internship.
