Questions Corner: Your Questions Answered!<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
Did you see the Career Center tabling in Worner Campus Center on Halloween? We asked you to share questions you were afraid to ask the Career Center so we can answer them in our newsletter. <\/span><\/div>\n
This week’s question is: How can I get an internship abroad?<\/b><\/div>\n
Answer<\/span>: There are many benefits to having an internship abroad that can build your cultural competence, language skills, and adaptability. As you consider your plans, there are a few key ways to explore opportunities abroad.
1. Many students explore programs that will help place you into an internship abroad and provide support with finding housing and securing work authorization. While this is the most convenient way of finding an opportunity abroad, programs do come with a cost. Use program websites to also do research on internship placement sites and where interns live.
2. Do your research! Be sure you know what work authorization requirements you need to follow where you hope to apply. Know that Colorado College cannot provide support to obtain a visa unless you are participating in a CC-led program.
3. Already have a study abroad semester planned? Consider participating in an internship during your semester! Almost all semester study abroad programs will have an internship option, so take advantage of that option if provided. Connect with Global Education as you are considering your options.
4. Check out job boards that are oriented to searching abroad such as idealist.org and goinglobal (provided through Tutt Library online). As you are looking for resources, check out the Career Center\u2019s working abroad pathway page.<\/span><\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
