“The highlight of my virtual internship was working with a real legal team and contributing work which I genuinely believe was of aid. It was fantastic to learn about the legal system in China and build a strong rapport with my supervisor. This was the perfect alternative to going to Malaysia and I will forever be thankful for the opportunity.”
“After my internship was finished, I was much more confident with my own professional abilities and my knowledge of the industry. I highly recommend Virtual Internships to any student who needs that kick to begin their career! The Virtual Internships team were great and helped me find a good company in my area of law. I was able to gain work experience in a different country, valuable insights into the industry I was studying, and I formed crucial global connections!”
“I especially enjoyed the virtual aspect of my internship because of the flexibility and independence it gave me, so I would consider working virtually in the future.”
“Before beginning my Virtual Internship, I was keen to truly make the most out of this experience and boost my career prospects, and I certainly did this. With the help from my lovely supervisor, Zlata, I gained a multitude of new skills and knowledge and met and networked with lots of new people. If anything, the Virtual Internship exceeded my expectations as I didn’t know I’d be able to gain this much experience and insight into the finance sector working remotely!”
