Becoming an intern abroad means gaining practical, hands-on experience at an international company or organization, while still having all the fun adventures (and sometimes even college credit) afforded during a study abroad program. If your career goals are already in razor-sharp focus or if you’re trying to make career moves after graduation, then it might just be time to start browsing international internships!

A Guide to International Internships

How to get an internship abroad

If you want to know how to get an international internship, it’s actually quite similar to finding a study abroad program. Start by asking yourself two key questions:

What are your career goals?

Finding internships abroad largely depends on narrowing down your career goals. Once you know what it is that you want to do or which skills you want to improve, you’ll be that much closer to finding the right internship abroad for you.

Do you need college credit?

Are you a college student seeking credit towards your degree, or are you a post grad or even mid-career professional? If you don’t require college credit for your international internship, it will actually greatly widen your options, since some university degree programs can be strict about what they accept for credit. If you don’t need college credit, your program options are basically limitless—meaning your dream internship is practically guaranteed. Intern abroad organizations have connections all over the world, so if you’re willing to pay the program fee, you’ll get unrivaled experience to add to your resume or CV.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with AIP!

Interning in Japan through AIP was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Japan is one of the most beautiful and unique countries I’ve ever visited, and I enjoyed every moment of my internship abroad. From meeting incredible new people to gaining valuable skills and immersing myself in a different culture, this experience exceeded all my expectations. A huge shoutout to Herlyn and Kate, who were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. They were incredibly helpful, always checking in on me, promptly responding to my questions, and making sure everything ran smoothly, from organising company interviews to arranging accommodations and even giving me great tips for Japan. Their support made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable!
