International Business Internships

Gain business skills while experiencing life overseas

You can take on a Projects Abroad internship and experience international business first hand. The best and brightest business people often come from a place of deep cultural and social knowledge. They understand their industry, their markets and the systems that make them run effectively. International Business internships with Projects Abroad are an unparalleled opportunity to get the practical and cultural insights you need. This experience will help you stand out in a fast-paced international business environment. We’ll arrange for you to travel overseas and become an international Business intern with a company. You’ll immerse yourself in their day-to-day work and get you the chance to build connections. First, we’ll work with you to identify where your skills and interests lie. Then we’ll place you in an internship that will allow you to pursue your own career goals. You’ll work with permanent employees and business leaders to better understand your chosen industry. You’ll also be matched with a supervisor who will support you throughout your internship. This tailored, intelligent approach to an internship will set you up for a bright future.

Business skills that you can add to your CV.
The ability to work and empathise with people of different cultures and backgrounds, helping to develop a ‘global mindset’.
Confidence from pushing past your comfort zone.

How are Projects Abroad’s international Business internships different?

At Projects Abroad, our first aim is to benefit the communities we work in. You can be assured that your internship is ethical and well supported. Here’s just a few elements of our work that set it apart from other internship programmes.

Be fully supported by staff

On these projects, you’ll work alongside business professionals. You can observe them in their everyday work, and be supported by them as you complete your tasks. This really matters when it comes to business internships – we want your placement to be a transformative experience, where you gain real skills and find out what you are capable of.

A tailored approach

We are often able to tailor your internship to your interests. If there is a particular sector or industry you’d like to work in, let our team know.
