The Value of Interning Abroad - International job opportunities

A 2007 MonsterVolunteer photo from IndiaTRAK survey noted that employers look at two things when hiring: a candidate's personal character and work experience. You've been building that character through your academic endeavors, so now it's time to get the experience! It's because of this that we believe an internship, especially an international one, is so important to plan and budget for. There are two things you can get with an internship abroad that that you can't when you stay home - intensive language study and cultural immersion. Both will be assets to your resume. Oftentimes, we work with colleges to obtain credit for the internship. Begin by talking to a World Endeavors Advisor right away to learn about interning in London, Florence, Valencia, Sydney, Mumbai...the list goes on!
