Pre-Conference Workshop: Best Practices in Global Internships

Global internships offer a unique opportunity for students to gain valuable work experience, develop global competencies, and expand their cultural horizons. However, internships also require careful planning, partnership, and execution to ensure a successful experience. By following these best practices and learning from case studies provided by CIEE, partner universities and internship providers, conference attendees will learn how to best deliver rewarding programs and minimize risks and challenges to help prepare students for future career opportunities. We will also provide opportunities for participants to share examples from their own contexts. This pre-conference will be led by CIEE staff, a university partner, and a Singapore-based internship supervisor. **Please note there is an additional fee of $150 to attend the Best Practices in Global Internships Workshop.
