What is a Virtual Global Internship and why should I do one?
We are now working with a diverse group of organizations that offer you a unique opportunity to gain global professional experience, boost your career profile, build an international professional network, and expand your skillset by interning with a company based overseas – while staying local.
Awareness and knowledge of global issues, however, are no longer optional. Employers expect employees to be:
- Savvy global thinkers
- Cross-culturally competent
- Skilled in using diverse resources and approaches to enhance productivity
These are project-based internships, with semester-long and short-term placements. Virtual Internships can be completed for academic credits or as a co-curricular activity for no credit. Students, generally, receive 3-4 credits per virtual internship experience.
