| GlobaLinks Learning Abroad offers unpaid international internships for academic credit in every field of study and gives 24/7 on-site support including a group orientation upon arrival in country. We custom build internships to meet students’ needs and provide essential support services to ensure a great internship abroad experience. An Internship Abroad Is... An Invaluable Investment in Your Future Interning abroad provides greater professional experience than many domestic opportunities because companies are smaller and thus interns are exposed to a wider variety of job duties. Living in a foreign country and being immersed in a new culture strengthens your resume even further by giving you skills such as problem solving, independence, and critical thinking. While a summer internship is the most common program, consider taking a semester off from traditional classes to enhance your professional development, or complete an internship abroad after you graduate to give you that immediate edge upon returning home and seeking your first job. More Than a Holiday While there will be plenty of time to travel and explore your host country, international internships are also a great way for a student to learn work skills. Our programs offer top notch opportunities which ensure participating students are fully prepared when they enter the work force. Because internships are not as common in other countries, students are viewed more as full-time employees and are not subject to much of the busy work associated with internships in the U.S. This offers a rare opportunity for students to prepare for their future occupations while enjoying the unique experiences of life as international citizens. Learning from locals provides an intimate view into not only the true beauty of the culture and customs in your host country, but also the challenges and issues that surround the region. Interning abroad lends a real-world understanding of diversity and multiculturalism, which cannot always be achieved through travel and study alone. A Journey of Knowledge, Independence and Self-Discovery This type of program requires (and builds) a great deal of independence as well as an ability to solve real-world challenges. Much of your time interning abroad may be spent apart from other North Americans and young people. You will be expected to leave the campus life behind in order to enter fully into the workplace atmosphere and achieve your professional goals. The individual growth and reflection you will experience from this change in environment will certainly provide endless personal benefits far beyond your time abroad.
