During the 13th annual CIEE Global Internship Conference, we heard from many of you that students need greater access to paid internships. In response, CIEE pledged $1,000,000 to fund 100 paid global internships that will equip students with the invaluable skills needed to launch their professional careers.

Today, we are pleased to share that applications are now open for CIEE Business & Marketing Internships starting in spring '26. Students or recent graduates chosen for this competitive opportunity will be paid to work alongside the CIEE team at one of 20+ CIEE Centers around the world.

This 12-week paid internship, starting in January 2026, will prepare students for their professional careers, as they contribute to marketing, communications, business, or administrative efforts, directly supporting a CIEE Center’s operations and CIEE’s College Study Abroad programming. 

The position is ideal for recent graduates and those graduating this fall but is also open to undergraduates taking a semester off. We anticipate a competitive pool of applicants for just 25 internship placements, so please share this opportunity with outstanding students in your network who are ready for post-grad global career opportunities.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, beginning November 20th.

The internship description and application can be found at: CIEE Business and Marketing Internship. If you wish to nominate a student, please reach out directly to your Manager of Institutional Relations.

These paid internships are just one way that CIEE is breaking down barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture to increase access to transformative international programs. You can follow the latest updates on our Leading Change in Study Abroad initiatives here
