Internships Abroad

Become an Intern Abroad

Have you ever wanted to live and work in another country? Are you passionate about your career and about cultural exchange? Would you like to intern abroad in your chosen area of interest while perfecting a foreign language?  With the EF Internship Course, you can break down barriers by taking part in one of our exciting internships abroad.  We offer both academic year and summer internships in a variety of fields at carefully selected organizations around the world.  Whether you'd like to try your hand at publishing in Paris or management in Malaga, there's an opportunity among EF's selection of internships abroad that will fit your skills and interests.

The Intern Abroad Experience

In your international internship, you'll get all the advantages and support of EF's world-renowned language schools.  You'll live with a host family or in the school's dormitories while studying your foreign language with our expert language teachers.  You'll make friends from all over the world who, like you, are interested in experiencing cultural immersion.  You'll take part in workshops to help you develop your job potential in the international market.  And you'll make contacts and gain experience interning in a local business or organization.

EF internships abroad are best suited to people who:

  • Want to experience what it's like to work abroad and operate in a foreign language
  • Would like to develop their language skills through classroom instruction
  • Are interested in attending professional development workshops with students from all over the world
