Short Term Experience Abroad Module

1. Select your City: The first step is to decide which city you want to go to. Each city has its own areas of opportunities that you should consider while making a decision.
2. Preplacement Meeting: Once the city is decided, we will place each student in an internship that corresponds to the course of study, to ensure the quality and academic relevance of the placement. To determine the appropriate opportunity, the student receives an individual assessment meeting with the city director to clarify the student’s skills, interests and professional goals. The student’s cover letter and resume will be reviewed at this time.
3. Matching: We draw upon our extensive employer network to find the right match. Our team will conduct vigorous outreach to locate a proper placement.  The student and company will then conduct a formal interview.
4. During the Internship: Once the student commences the internship, our team provides office hours for counseling beyond the standard workday, offers mid-term reviews to ensure learning goals are being met, and acquires the supervisor evaluation at the conclusion of the placement.
