An internship helps to boost your resume, experience a new culture and gain valuable work experience. An internship is a period of work experience offered by an employer to give students and graduates exposure to the working environment, often within a specific industry, which relates to their field of study. Internships can last in duration from 2 to 3 months

‘On-the-job’ experience can be as valuable as anything learned in your studies. After all, you cannot really understand what a job is all about until you have worked in that environment. Internships are great opportunities to speak directly to people who have experience in the role you aspire to; and their knowledge of the job and working environment will give you a greater understanding of what it’s all about and what you need to do to progress.
Internships are unpaid.
Internship relates to your required sector.
You may be interviewed via Skype, phone or in person before beginning your internships.
Your internship depends on language level, quality of your resume and letter of motivation and relevant studies in relation to your required internship. For more information visit our Internship Application Information page or fill out the request more information form.
