What Will You Discover During Your CIEE Internship?

  • “One of the greatest things I came away from this internship with is the inspiration and skills to start my own business, something I have always been interested in. I realized that I am capable of it, especially with the tools and connections I have made.  I loved the cultural things I was able to learn and the people I met. I now feel I have a home in South Africa.”

    Leah K., Cape Town Global Intern

  • "This program integrates living in a new city with a meaningful internship. My experience has allowed me to adjust to full-time work experience and work on professional habits such as communication with superiors and building relationships within the workplace. It has also allowed me to become more confident with the skills and knowledge that I have in relation to the work I am able to complete.”

    Jeanine L., Singapore Global Intern

  • “I have come back to my studies confident in my skills and with a yearning to continue my professional and academic career. To the individuals who seek to better themselves, the experience of living and working abroad is like no other. "

    Mikhael L., Berlin Global Intern
