Virtual Global Internship Program & Course - 8 Week

In the course, Academic Internship in the Global Workplace, students will be challenged to question, reflect upon, and respond to the issues they observe and encounter in the internship setting and local host environment. The course allows students to focus on their assigned tasks and projects at the internship site, while engaging in online discussion, as well as readings and other assignments, that are necessary to receive academic credit for the internship.

Workshops

Virtual workshops compliment the internship experience by offering different perspectives on professional development and the changing world of work. Workshops will be facilitated by CIEE Staff and global experts during the internship period. Workshops are coordinated for each program duration, so speakers and topics are subject to change.
