Virtual Internship Abroad Program Structure

Ready to gain global experience while staying local this summer or fall? CEA’s virtual internship program includes an online academic seminar and a virtual internship placement. Your internship work schedule may vary depending on industry standards for your career field and time difference, and will be determined prior to your start date.

The virtual internship abroad includes an online seminar that you’ll complete independently and through virtual check-ins for a total of 22 contact hours and minimum 120 hours at your virtual internship placement over 6 weeks. Together, your online seminar and virtual internship placement are worth 3 credits.

The Summer 2020 virtual internship program is 6 weeks in length beginning in June. For the Fall 2020 semester, you may choose between two 6-week sessions: session I (September 14-October 23) or session II (October 29-December 18).

Prior to submitting your application, you will select the internship option that works best for you. We strongly recommended that you apply as soon as possible, as the deadline to apply for a summer virtual internship is May 1. Internship positions are selective; students who demonstrate high levels of discipline, initiative, verbal and oral communication skills, motivation, and flexibility throughout the process are most successful in securing placements.

The virtual internship placement process involves three video interviews: a screening interview with your Internship Coach, a job placement interview with your virtual internship coordinator, and a final interview with your host site supervisor. The host site retains the final decision regarding placements, so it’s important that your interviews reflect your maturity, adaptability, curiosity, and commitment to both your career interests and the host organization.

Upon successfully completing your virtual placement coordinator interview, CEA guarantees you a placement based on the personal, professional, and cross-cultural goals reflected in your interview. All placements will be secured two weeks prior to beginning your internship. Upon placement, you'll automatically be enrolled in your online internship seminar course.

Internship placements are limited -- apply today to a CEA virtual internship abroad program that will set you up for success on your career path, expand your professional networks and broaden your skill set! The deadline to apply for a Summer 2020 virtual internship abroad is May 1, 2020.
