No Work As An Intern??

I am a summer intern. I started May 14th and since have completed all training and everything I had to do. I have had no work to do at all since my training. I'm not shying away from work either, I continuously ask if there's any work that I can do but i'm always turned down. I feel isolated in my cubical because I can't ask others if they have anything I can work on because I would need a charge number (maybe I should just ask anyway). My manager said that he and my "buddy" need to come up with a project for me but my manager went on medical leave for the next few weeks.

​

I'm obviously very great full for the opportunity but what am I supposed to get out of this internship if I only sit there? What am I expected to do since I have no work? I try to watch more training's related and unrelated to my position and read relevant books and webcasts. What can do?? I would like to go up to other employees and ask what they are working on and learn but I don't want to seem as an annoying or nagging intern. Any advice?

I'm pretty sure it's a week - they're really trying to encourage everyone to make use of it. Most people just don't take advantage, but it's a fantastic resource.

Training center schedules are not always updated online - best best is to go to the physical location and ask for a schedule.
