Are you looking for summer internship opportunities? Attend this information session to learn more about internships offered through Global Academic Ventures!

Global Academic Ventures is committed to providing the highest quality of academic and internship programs to enhance each student’s experiential learning opportunities. 

For summer 2021, students will participate in a 7 week / 20-30 hour per week internship with an international business. Orientation is in mid-May, which will offer tips for working remotely, information about the business environment, and electronic business etiquette. The program begins on June 7.

Between orientation with GAV staff and the start of the project, each student will have an individual virtual introduction with their host company and team to have an initial introduction, briefing on the project, and timeline. This will be arranged through GAV to coordinate a date and time that suits everyone’s schedule. At the end of their internship,  they must submit a formal report of their work and if requested provide a virtual presentation of their findings for their host company supervisor.

Details:

  • work with companies in South Eastern Hemisphere
  • Internships offered Spring, Summer & Fall
  • 15 hours of work expected each week for spring and fall, up to 30 for summer
