The CIEE Global Internship Conference (GIC) convenes hundreds of global leaders in higher education, industry, and government to drive learning, action, and innovation around the critical task of preparing young people for a global workplace through global work integrated learning experiences. This is where knowledge is shared, ideas are born, connections are made, and dialogue is elevated to advance student success, public diplomacy, and economic development.

CIEE’s 13th Annual Global Internship Conference in Singapore, Leading Change in Global Internships, will continue to demonstrate the vital link between global programs, institutional goals, and student success. Global workforce development is critical for universities, employers, and governments worldwide, with global internships driving individual and institutional growth, transforming career services, and delivering measurable ROI to stakeholders. Emerging trends highlight the evolving landscape of skill development and lifelong learning.

Join us June 25-27, 2025 as we bring together leaders in the industry and higher education to explore the skills that college graduates need to obtain jobs; the businesses that today’s interns want to work for; and the internship placements that help students to thrive, to contribute to their communities, and design solutions for the challenges of our times. In addition to keynote speakers and networking events, the Global Internship Conference will also include:

• Concurrent sessions with invited panelists

• Industry Partner Awards that recognize innovative employers, university partners, and alums in the US and abroad that are engaging students in innovative internship models

• GIC Student Challenge in collaboration with UNHCR that will invite student teams to design a project addressing migration and access to educational opportunity in a changing climate
