Taking a Career Break

Taking a break from one's career can take many forms; a summer vacation, a sebatical, even a dreamed of career change.  International internships can be instrumental in helping you meet your career objectives. 

International internships will help build your resume in two dimensions.  It will naturally add a solid work experience to your resume in your chosen field. It will also add an international dimension to your resume which highlights your initiative.

An internship is often not considered by established professionals because they have years of experience and expertise in their domain.  However our international internships are structured work opportunities in developing countries. They can be utilized as an experience for professionals looking to add an international dimension to their resume, those looking to break into a new field and by those looking to establish themselves as expatriots in a new country.

For Career-breakers

If you are taking a career break, an internship is an excellent way to explore a different career path while avoiding the dreaded "gap" on your resume.  You can show future hiring managers how you continued developing your professional skills without having to explain why you took time off.

For Career-changers

International internships for career changers are excellent opportunities to get started in a new field where you have little or no experience.  In many developing countries and in particular in rural areas, the simple fact that you speak English fluently and have formal education are valued. Your opportunity to learn on the job and get feedback from your mentor will help ease your transition. The hands-on work that you do will enable you to immerse yourself fully in a new profession.
