International internships in USA

Overview

Whether your goal is to work at a top financial firm or to manage an NGO, we can help you achieve it by connecting you with professionals in your field and giving you the experience you need via our US internships. The USA has long been a destination of choice for internships due to the number of elite companies that have head offices here and its strong position on the global stage.

Our internships in North America range from eight weeks to six months and include advanced professional development training and workshops, social and cultural events, and 24/7 support from our staff. We provide support with all of the logistics of getting you here too, from visa assistance if you’re applying from abroad, to finding your accommodation which you will share with other program participants or young professionals.

USA is filled with amazing must-sees and landmarks, such as the empire state building and statue of liberty, and plenty of fun events are included in the program to immerse you in American culture. This experience will leave you with a valuable network of international connections that you will have made at your internship.

Interns benefit from career advancement tools before, during, and following their internship program.

During your internship, training is delivered through a combination of videos, podcasts, articles, quizzes, and projects and you will receive a LinkedIn badge upon completion.
