Terra Intern Abroad is dedicated to supporting internationally placed interns and providing all the logistical support and saftey precautions so you will have the work experience of a lifetime.

Due to the limited number of available internships, the selection process for placement in Terra Intern Abroad internships is competitive. 

Application Process

Applicants are required to submit an online application, including resume and statement of purpose, to be reviewed by Terra Intern Abroad.  Once the application fee of $50 has been recieved, you will be scheduled an interview with an Enrollment Advisor to discuss the internship placements that may fit with your academic and professional background and objectives of your internship.  Some host organizations may also require additional supporting documentation and/or an interview with the applicant. Students should have a strong academic record and not currently be on academic or disciplinary probation. Students and young professionals must be able to provide at least two academic or professional references.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis up until 30 days before the start of the internship.

Upon completion of your interview, an internship placement offer is made.  Once an internship offer is made, you will have 14 days to accept the offer and pay a $350 deposit. If a deposit is not recieved, we will open up the internship placement again to other applicants.

Once a student or young professional is accepted and enrolled, you will be paired with the international internship program manager.  The international internship program manager can answer all of your questions regarding your internship site as well as begin to orientate you with your destination country and what to expect day-to-day in the local culture. In addition you will be provided an international internship handbook that provides background information on your destination, pre-departure preparation, visa requirements, and insights into cultural norms and local customs, including social and business etiquette.

We understand each international intern has a unique background and needs. That is why Terra Intern Abroad provides both an international internship supervisor as well as in-country staff so we can support all your planned, as well as unplanned, needs.
