Many careers today involve collaboration with colleagues or teams from around the world, and international internships provide students with the opportunity to gain real-world work experience in an intercultural setting. While participating on a CGIS-sponsored internship, students will work in a carefully vetted professional placement and will earn academic credit for participating in an internship seminar that contextualizes the local work culture, explore differences between it and the American workplace culture, and helps develop the skills necessary to work most effectively across cultural differences.
