Overview
 Interns in Italy experience a European working environment in a charming, historical city. This program is dedicated to providing an enriching and enlightening experience as interns achieve international work experience in Florence. The abundance of internship opportunities in Florence range from International Business and Public Relations to Culinary Arts and Fashion Design. While engaging with Italians on a daily basis, interns will also discover the beauty of and gain appreciation for Florentine culture.
Florence sits in the center of the beautiful Tuscany region and is known as Birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Historically, the powerful, wealthy and art-obsessed Medici family heavily influenced Florence to become a center of high culture, fashion and the arts. Today, interns and visitors alike enjoy the art, architecture, history, literature, and cuisine, which is readily available in the many museums, squares, cafes and markets in this Italian city.
The unique internship program combines intensive Italian language studies with a practical customized internship. Additionally, the central location of Florence makes Rome, Venice, Pisa and Milan just a train ride away!

* Customized internship for variety of majors
* Live in apartments with other international students
* Study Italian language
* Possible credit for language courses

"This was one of the best experiences of my life. I have learned a lot through my internship. This is a perfect location with a staff that is very helpful. I recommend this program to anyone who wants a real world experience abroad." - Michael Coles
