pace in a changing world.
Internships
We believe student growth is best served through well-rounded
internships that combine cultural, academic, and professional
development experiences based on each student’s aspirations, skills, and
experience. Some CIEE internships have a business or corporate focus,
placing students with companies in a wide variety of industries including
media, telecommunications, or tourism. Others offer a community
service or development focus, where students may work in organizations
involved with social policy, education, human rights, or health issues.
