It is never too early or too late to do an internship abroad. You should start applying for an international internship when you feel able to take full advantage of the experience. Some students enter into university having already had internship experiences, while some others wait until being graduated or even later. This stays a personal choice.
- Summer is the most popular time of the year to participate in an international internship. Indeed, some programs will offer you to work over winter or Spring Break, but you will certainly find much more opportunities during the summer months.
- If you are studying abroad, you can take advantage of this situation as you may be able to find internship opportunities that coincide with your school schedule or follow up your term abroad. The first step is to find out if your study-abroad program has an internship component.
- You should make sure that your internship fits into your future goals.
- Think about the benefits that working abroad can bring you. Be sure to be aware of what you gain from your experience.
- The time from which you decide to intern abroad should make sense in terms of both your academic work and career plans.
- The knowledge you gain from your coursework may help you get an internship.
