Virtual Internships

Virtual internships are internships done remotely or online. As an intern working virtually, you’ll be placed with an international company, report to a supervisor abroad and work with colleagues via online platforms. With a virtual internship, you will work on projects and duties from your home while adding a global perspective to your professional work experience.

• Work Experience. Gain hands-on experience in a cost-effective and low-risk way that also fits into your semester schedule.
• Resume Booster. Virtual global internships provide a strong foundation for future internships, jobs and graduate school applications.
• Earn Credit. Depending on the provider, you can also earn transfer credit that you can use towards your degree.
• Remote Work is the Future. Remote working is becoming an increasingly relevant skill in the current workplace. Modern employers want to see that you can be successful in a remote work environment.
• Global Learning. Gain an appreciation and understanding of diverse work cultures and practices.

Locations vary by program. Each provider works with a specific portfolio of companies and organizations from around the world. Placement locations include: Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Great Britain, Australia, South Africa and China.

Each program has different start dates ranging from now until November 9th. Program lengths vary from 4 to 14 weeks with a range of 10 to 30 work hours per week depending on the program and/or placement.
