Benefits of a virtual MBA internship:

Build a global professional network

An online MBA internship also provides an essential platform for networking. The connections interns build are some of the most valuable takeaways from these placements. Professional references are an essential part of an applicant’s toolkit when it comes time to apply for a full time role.

These experts provide incredible references and referrals, and are well versed in the industry you hope to enter, which means they give great career advice!

Each of our interns benefits from a one hour career success session with one of our experienced career coaches. After completing a remote internship, MBA students choose a coach from our portfolio of experts to guide them through their next steps. These sessions offer valuable advice and skills in resume development, acing future interviews, personal branding, and more!

How can an MBA internship help me make a career change?

Doing an internship after an MBA is also a popular route for those who are looking to make a career change from their undergraduate degree. Making a transition to the competitive business world can be difficult, depending on your professional and academic background. However, with a graduate degree and an MBA internship under your belt, the career shift can be seamless.

There’s nothing better than immersion in the business world to ensure you’re prepared to enter, and eventually, lead it. Whether you’ve finished your MBA or are completing a placement as part of your degree, these placements are a unique opportunity to further hone your interests and skills. Our remote program allows candidates to take on a wider variety of roles than most full-time jobs, and offers much greater  flexibility. 

The hands-on experience gained during a remote internship is an excellent way to bring together multiple fields from your background and interest areas. In fact, the wide array of industry knowledge and diverse skills that program alumni bring to the table make them competitive candidates in any arena they may choose to enter.

Frequently asked questions

Join our 15,000+ global alumni

The Intern Group community was easily the most fascinating, globally diverse, and intellectually curious group of people I've ever met. We were all brought together, not simply by our fascination with Colombia and Latin America, but our desire to learn a new culture, to question our own assumptions, and to grow as people - both professionally and personally. I've stayed very close friends with many of them.
