An International Internship could be just what your résumé is looking for!

Volunteer, do a work term, or practicum overseas to build on your academic experience. Having work and/or volunteer experience on an international level will give you a leading edge in a competitive and increasingly global society.

The enriching, vibrant adventures you will encounter abroad will enhance your professional experience by:

  • broadening your outlook and understanding of the world
  • providing a unique opportunity for you to reach personal, academic, and professional goals
  • allowing you to experience another culture first hand
  • challenging you to discover new personal and professional strengths and perspectives
  • networking and developing professional contacts
  • traveling the world

What better way to understand the rest of the world than to see it, breathe it, smell it, hear it, taste it, touch it, and live it yourself? 

Plus it's easier than you think - explore our website and visit our Education Abroad Resource Library (EARL) today to learn more about your international internship options.
