We are dedicated to finding you an internship that will not only compliment the knowledge you have acquired thus far in your chosen field, but that will give you a global perspective as you seek a competitive edge in achieving your career goals. Our knowledgeable staff have all interned or studied abroad themselves and are available to advise you on the program that best suits your needs. They will guide you through the simple online application, send you a pre-departure packet and advise you on visa regulations as we search for your customized placement abroad. Most fields can be accommodated and many programs don't require a foreign language. Our onsite coordinators secure your housing and provide you with an orientation once you arrive - available for you throughout your stay. Soon, you will be working alongside international counterparts while you travel on weekends to explore other destinations!
