Choosing the Internship Program That’s Right for you
University Internships
University students, this is your opportunity to gather the working experience needed to get ahead in the jobs market. We’ll provide you with a guaranteed internship in a career field of your choosing. The length of your internship and how many hours per week you work is up to you.
High School Internships
Global Connections
Remote Work Skills
It’s no secret that the recent massive move to remote working will continue for the foreseeable future. Many companies are establishing permanent remote work policies, meaning there is an increasing demand for professionals with previous remote work experience & skills in software/platforms, communication, problem solving, etc.
Time Management & Discipline
Cross-Cultural Competences
Unlike a traditional online internship, our Virtual Internships allow you to choose a country to explore professional skills and gain cross-cultural competence.
Accessibility
Traveling for work or study (especially long term) can present a huge financial barrier for many individuals. A virtual international internship allows you to still gain the career & global skills from an international work environment, without the need for travel.
Gain Academic Credit
Any student completing our in-person or online international internships is able to gain 3, 6, or 9 credits from our School of Record, Saint Peter’s University. To learn more about gaining credit head to our website here.
What Is a Virtual Internship?
Call it what you will: Remote Internship, Virtual Internship, Online Internship, Tele-working, Telecommuting, it all means the same thing: you will be completing your internship without a commute and directly from your own laptop!
Remote internships mean that you can work with companies across the country or globe to support a myriad of projects ranging from basic social media support to full business projects, website designs, market reports, financial assessments, usability testing code, and much much more.
When completing a remote internship many of the same aspects of a traditional in-person internship still exist including, meetings with your supervisor or teammates, completing a mix of individual and group projects, and learning about the overall company culture and industry it works in.
What Do Our Alumni Say?
Maab Saifeldin
“I can’t recommend Virtual Internships enough! I love the fact that I had regular meetings with my supervisors and we got to give each other constructive feedback. They really had trust and confidence in me, which in turn gave me more self-confidence.”
Legal Intern – Lancaster University (2018)
Nathan Moorse
“My supervisor congratulated me on completing my internship and even offered me a chance to come back and be a CPD developer in a paid position. That was really cool to be able to get a job opportunity out of the work that I did through this internship.”
Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals Intern – University of Kansas (2020)
Brandy Yuan
“The highlight of my virtual experience was when I first accomplished my coding task. I felt immensely proud of myself because not only was this a new field that I had never attempted before, but I was also doing it remotely. I felt very proud what I was able to achieve on the technical side of things, as well as when my supervisors told me when they felt that the work I had done was very meaningful.”
Computer Science & IT Intern – University of Pennsylvania (2020)
Kyle Ozuna
“It’s very beneficial that I can take the skills I learned at university and put them into practice in my internship. A piece of advice I would give a future intern would be to manage your time – try not to do everything in one day. You’re going to have to manage your time properly to get your tasks done within the week you are getting that work.”
Legal & Marketing Intern – Broward College (2020)
Lexi Elkins
“I think the best part of my internship was the amazing people I was able to work with! My boss at the internship company was absolutely lovely and really did her best to make me feel welcomed and also show how grateful she was for the work I did.”
