Internship details

These virtual internships in international business enable participants to develop experience in a wide range of international business operations across multiple industries and economic activities in India and around the world.

This is a remote internship you can undertake virtually from home. Click here to view in-country Business internships, if you would prefer to intern abroad.

These are highly personalized International Business internships, and we will use your preferences and interests to customize your internship so that it meets your personal goals. Interns are matched to engaging placements, where experienced supervisors provide guidance, as well as meaningful tasks and objectives.

Specific duties will depend on the exact nature of your internship, but often include collecting and analyzing data, developing business concepts, and helping with administrative tasks. You’ll be in regular contact with your supervisor, who is an experienced local manager.

Remote International Business interns can opt to be placed in companies in the following industries:

Business research and consulting

Interns assist a research and consulting company in the city of Jaipur, helping to conduct research on behalf of the Indian government, international organizations and private enterprises. International business interns support members of the business research and consulting team, who have backgrounds in economics and engineering.

Previous research projects include:

  • Economic assessment of the quality of a public education system
  • Market analysis for international Chambers of Commerce
  • Market analysis and evaluation of development potential within the food processing industry
Business training

Interns can be placed in a mentoring and incubator program that provides support to start-up businesses across India. These education centers offer short term courses to business owners, in fields including information technology, e-commerce, and marketing. Remote interns can help to set up and administer these courses, while also gaining insights into the start-up businesses that participate in the programs.

In all cases, interns should expect that the initial phase of their remote internship will focus on gaining some introductory knowledge. You may start by gaining an understanding or overview of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

My internship aids my future career and goals in every way possible. I am very interested in business, hence why I chose to complete a remote International Business internship (out of India). This opportunity allowed me real first hand work experience, preparing me for a job, but at the same time, allowing me to gain college credit to help me assist my future academic journey. Overall, this internship has given me a lot of new skills and new abilities to be able to problem solve. I feel much more empowered, confident, and prepared for my future career.

August 2021

I chose the Virtual International Business Internship out of India because I wanted to gain more insight into how Organizational Psychology works and see HR practices in real-life situations. Choosing this internship program has enabled me to grow and work out what I want to do in my future career. My online role involved various tasks such as career counselling, organizational counseling, psychometric assessments, corporate counseling, recruiting, researching and providing personal insights about the ongoing training and courses. I helped the organization select great candidates suitable for the various positions it offers and I helped individuals work out what kind of career they want to go for. My internship supervisor and I always communicated through video calls and used emails and messaging to submit documents and schedule meetings. I used a Google calendar to keep track of meeting times with my supervisor and team members. I met so many professionals, all of whom had so much respect and valued everyone’s ideas. I had so many opportunities to contribute my thoughts, and everyone was willing to listen which made me feel valued and confident. The elements I enjoyed the most were the virtual meetings I had with my supervisor and other interns, doing interviews and listening to other people. The virtual meetings enabled me to express myself freely, to be heard, obtain instant feedback and interact with other interns freely. I enjoyed holding interviews with other professionals, which improved my self-confidence, communication and listening skills.
