Virtual Global Innovation Internship - 12 week

Virtual workshops compliment the internship experience by offering different perspectives on professional development and the changing world of work. These workshops will be facilitated by CIEE staff and global experts during the internship period to align with the HEX Virtual Discovery program and ongoing HEX mentorship throughout the program. Workshops are coordinated for each program start, so speakers and topics are subject to change. Explore a sampling of our previous workshop offerings below:
