Introduction
Gain international work experience and build your resumé — from your laptop! With a virtual internship, you can put accessibility and mobility concerns aside and develop a meaningful professional connection with an international company. Here you will gain the skills necessary to thrive in today’s economy, including digital literacy, cross-cultural communication, time management, and much more.
Submit your application and start working with your Enrollment Advisor. You will have an interview so they can learn about your career goals, educational background, and preferences to ensure that you are a good candidate for a virtual internship.
Once your interview and application are complete, your Enrollment Advisor and our Placement Team will determine if we can accept you into the program. If accepted, this means we guarantee you a virtual internship within your career field.
The step is to simply enroll in the program by paying the full tuition to secure your spot. Enrolling means you have officially decided to join the AIFS Abroad program and take on the challenge of a virtual international internship!
Before you are matched with an employer, you will work one-on-one with your Program Advisor. They will help you with professional development, career advising, the Strengths assessment, and best-practices for a virtual internship.
We will start the matchmaking process and narrow down an employer for which you would be a great fit. You’ll have a Skype or phone interview to confirm it’s a great match for everyone, and if all goes well, your internship is confirmed!
You’ll begin your internship on your confirmed start date. The beauty of a virtual internship is that you can work from anywhere! Virtual internships are here for you — no matter where in the world you are.
