Internships in Israel

The city of Jerusalem offers interns the opportunity to really experience history. Jerusalem is a mix of antiquity and modernity, where traditional markets stand alongside stereotypical Western office buildings. The capital of Israel includes a vibrant downtown with premier eateries and shopping, as well as the Old City, a maze of winding alleyways and colorful markets enclosed by walls dating back to the 16th century. Those who intern in Jerusalem will be able to find almost any type of internship placement, but the fields of archaeology, international relations, and economics are especially popular.

Interns who choose to live in the northern city of Haifa will gain incredible career enhancing experience. Internships in Haifa include opportunities to work with top companies, such as The Technion, in most industries, including the chance to work in the international technology park of Matam, which is home to the R&D divisions of Apple, Google, Qualcomm, IBM & Intel, and more. After work everyday, interns can walk to one of Haifa’s four beaches, or grab a ride on the Carmelit Subway, Israel’s one and only subway.

If you’re looking for a bit quieter of an experience interning in Israel, head to the north; the Galilee region gives interns the chance to immerse themselves not only in Hebrew and Israeli culture, but also intern in Israel in one of the few areas solely focused on development. If you choose to intern in the Galilee region, you will most likely live very close to the beach and the Old City of Akko, the region’s most ancient city. The Galilee region is great for a wide variety of internships; whether you are interested in teaching, working with startups, or the environment, interning in the Galilee region will provide you with professional enhancement in a more traditional Israeli environment. 

Finally, there is the famous city of Tel Aviv. One of Israel’s most well known cities, Tel Aviv is highly modern and has internship placements in nearly every field. The city is rated as a top travel destination, thanks to its pristine beaches, restaurants and cafes, which can be found everywhere, and bars, that are open till the crack of dawn. This wonderful city is also chock full of amazing architecture, including the “The White City”, museums, art galleries, open-air markets, and numerous cultural and historical sites. Finally, Tel Aviv is budding with a unique art scene. If a relaxed beach city on the Mediterranean coast that offers placements in basically every field imaginable sounds appealing to you, then look no farther than internships in Tel Aviv.
