Affordable internships that’ll set you apart
Time can be an expensive and limited commodity, especially for students. Students looking for internships abroad shouldn’t have to pay through the nose for quality programs and support. That’s why Intern Abroad HQ offers affordable internships that are as accessible as possible. The opportunities are flexible, high-impact, and entry-level, without requiring a long-term commitment that can be hard to schedule and expensive. We keep fees low and make sure that internship participation contributes toward meaningful community outcomes, local employment, and the best results for personal and professional development.
New skills and resume building
Intern Abroad HQ internships are based on experiential learning and all programs include an expertly structured reflection program. What does this mean for you? A proactive approach enables you to draw meaning and critical thinking from your experience, so that instead of just going abroad and seeing what happens, we equip you with the ability to articulate why your experience is important and how it’s going to contribute to your value in the workforce. Plus, upon completion, you’ll also receive a professionally compiled portfolio to demonstrate your achievements - so you’ll walk into that next job interview more prepared! We designed this approach specifically for the acquisition of desirable employability and life skills. Every week, we will add focus and purpose to your learning journey by providing themes and ideas that’ll empower you to become an effective global citizen. Sounds pretty good, right!
Relevant international exposure

Regardless of whether you’re pursuing relevant study or beginning a job pursuit, having spent time observing, shadowing and interacting directly with professionals will unlock your potential, mind-set and opportunities. Internships put students in control of their professional development by allowing them to engage, ask questions, and work “hands on” within diverse real-world environments.
