Living and Learning International: Global Virtual Internships

Most college students know they should complete an internship to be competitive in the job market. Completing a virtual internship allows students the opportunity to gain valuable experience in their specific field of study without leaving home. With a flexible format and hands-on, project-based work, students will be able to complete an international internship from anywhere. Through the Global Virtual Internship by Living and Learning International (L&LI) students will earn 3 college credits. Programs are offered during the summer in a 6-week format. Over the fall or spring semester, internships last 12 weeks and are designed to be completed while enrolled as a part-time or full-time student at their college or university. Internships will have a strong emphasis on completing a single, deliverable project. A dedicated mentor will facilitate the experience and serve as a bridge between the student and the international organization. The Community Development course will provide an evidence-based framework for approaching a cross-cultural workplace.
