The Walton College is partnering with the Office of Study Abroad to pilot a virtual international internship program for the Fall 2020 & Spring 2021 semesters. Scholarship funding will cover up to 60% of the total cost of participation.

What is a virtual international internship? This innovative program allows you to put accessibility and mobility concerns aside to develop meaningful professional connections with international companies and organizations. These programs provide a project-based pathway for you to develop your resume and professional skills, while making international industry connections. Perks include (these vary by organization): professional mentorship, interactive online orientation, professional development programming, career coaching, career readiness courses, weekly feedback meetings, e-portfolio training, completion certificates, or digital badges.

How do I get the internship? You’ll apply for one of our external partner’s programs. The Office of Study Abroad will walk you through the providers and what opportunities would best suit your needs. You can explore some of the providers at this link.
