Overview
Program Details:
Whether you wish to improve your resume, fulfill educational requirements or accomplish life-long dreams, internships abroad are an essential component to a student's educational experience, and represent a vital link to successful career preparation and personal development. As global market economies become increasingly interdependent, employers are looking to hire new employees who have had international experience and who understand multi-cultural environments. WISE Abroad encourages prospective participants to email us at wise@wiseabroad.org to assist you in choosing an internship destination that is suitable for you.
Internship Program
Six week to fourteen week non-paying internship and cultural experience related to academic major or career goals in one of the following countries: Australia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, England, Germany, Mexico, Singapore, Spain or Taiwan. While most internship programs occur in the summer, WISE Abroad may place students in internships during the Fall or Spring semesters. Students wanting to combine language instruction with an internship experience may also wish to consider taking language courses under our Internship and Language Training Program (please our website at www.wiseabroad.org). Living accommodations include home stay with a family, but private apartments may also be available. However, host families are more economical and provide a key way for cultural immersion. Pre-departure and cross-cultural orientation information is provided, and cultural orientation is also given upon arrival. Group activities are provided, including weekend excursions, along with frequent contact with WISE Abroad country directors while in the host country.
Why WISE Abroad?
WISE Abroad adds value to your international education experience primarily in two ways, through diverse and creative programs, and affordable program fees. Unlike other international education providers, WISE Abroad offers programs at competitive prices because it maintains low administrative fees by collaborating with partners overseas who operate and manage programs out of their existing offices. WISE Abroad partners operate in Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America and USA. WISE Abroad partners have developed key business networks with academic institutions, private industry, government entities and non-government organizations across the globe, and are active successful leaders in the communities where they live.
