Remote/virtual internship from home
When doing a World Unite! remote/virtual internship, you do an internship with a company/organization abroad without travelling there. Instead, you communicate with the internship supervisor of your internship company abroad and further colleagues via video conference, telephone, email and instant messaging services.
- All remote/virtual internships are offered by companies and organizations in the countries in which we operate that we have been cooperating with locally for many years and which have a lot of experience with international interns. Our local teams support the internship organisations just like you to guarantee a maximum learning effect for you.
- You will join real-world projects, giving you insights into the work environment of your chosen country
- All internships supervisors have relevant academic qualification and plenty of work experience that they will share with you
- With your internship supervisor, before the internship, you will work out a tailormade internship plan, defining your goals, tasks and schedule. Here you can see a sample internship plan for a 5-week x 20 hours/week vitual internship. To better understand the schedule of such an internship, we have also created a day-to-day view for the same sample internship.
- Flexible start and duration! You chose the starting date and duration. It is possible to start at short notice.
- Part-time/Full-time possible! You decide about the weekly hours of your internship (from 4 to 40 hours/week). The amount of hours refers to supervision time + work time for tasks given to you.
- You can do the remote internship in English, or, if you prefer, in the language of your host country
- Get additional preparation and international career advice by our international team.
A Remote/virtual internship has many advantages:
- Even without travelling abroad, in addition to valuable work experience in the field of your choice, you can gain intercultural knowledge through our preparation and the remote work and communications with the team of your online internship company abroad.
- The remote/online internship looks great on your CV/resume, just like an on-site internship at one of our host countries.
- Many universities accept online internships as a compulsory internship in times of the coronavirus crisis, when travel is difficult.
- You will gain skills in the use of digital technologies for video conferences, online meetings, online project management etc., which will become even more important in post-corona crisis times
- By doing an online internship without physically sharing an office with colleagues and superiors, you will also improve your skills of self-motivation, self-organization and working independently. We prepare you and support you with this!
- The internship is inexpensive because there are no travel expenses and additional accommodation costs
