Farmers are some of the most important professionals in the world. As the saying goes, “you can survive a day without lawyers or doctors, but you cannot without a farmer.” While farmers serve a vital role in society, they are often neglected and not prioritized in economic interventions and legislation. In this internship, the Institute for Global Studies prepared placements for you on organizations that propel economic empowerment to our farmer-heroes. This program helps you be a part of the local sustainable food movement. Complete a rewarding internship in your country of choice – the Philippines, Australia, the USA, or Mexico, among many others. Immerse yourself into the interesting cultures, traditions, and customs in your host country.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in the Philippines
Where to Intern in the Philippines
Divided into three main regions with more than 7,000 tropical islands, and with emerald rice fields and plentiful outdoor activities, The Philippines has something for everyone. When you’re not working hard, you’ll find pleasure in sunbathing on beaches and ziplining over mountains. Here are some of the best cities for interning in the Philippines.
Manila. The “Pearl of the Orient” boasts an urban atmosphere with its skyscrapers and air conditioning, but if you’re looking to dig deep into this metropolis, then you’ll discover the edgy galleries, markets, bars, and indie music scene. Being the cultural center of the Philippines, you can explore museums full of art and history, shop until you drop, and stroll through national parks to your heart’s delight. If you’re looking to get a head start on working your way up the corporate ladder, interning here is a good head start.
Cebu City. You’ll find this energetic, fast-paced city in central Philippines in the Visayas. With an endless supply of Filipino-Spanish heritage buildings, you’ll get a good dose of architectural views while you’re here. The plentiful monuments, cathedrals, and temples all make this city an interesting hodgepodge of stunning sites. From sports events to artsy endeavors, you’ll find an internship that aligns with one of those here.
Dumaguete. While this southeastern city is known as a hip university town filled with thousands of expats, you’ll still enjoy the harbourfront with its bars, restaurants, and food spots. For those who love the water, it’s also a hotspot for dive sites as well. With numerous universities and three major hospitals, this city is an ideal place for those looking to work in the medical field, from radiology to midwifery and more.
