Internships Abroad

While most graduates enter the job market with standard domestic internships, fewer than 1% have international work experience. How will you stand out?

An internship abroad proves you are adaptable, open-minded, and ready to work with diverse teams. Because employers are more likely to hire applicants with global experience, this program is your chance to combine an unforgettable adventure with a massive career advantage.

FIT offers credited internships abroad in multiple industries and locations around the world.
