amazing travel

If you love travelling and seeing the world, an internship abroad is the perfect chance to fulfil your ambitions. Not only will you get to work with an international firm – you’ll also get to immerse yourself in a new culture while doing it. From walking underneath the cherry blossom trees of Tokyo to chilling out on the beach after a long day of working in Sydney, there’s something special about working in a brand-new city. Every lunch break and evening after work can be a new adventure!

Plus, you’ll meet a whole range of people and enjoy an array of cultural experiences. This is an effective way of broadening your horizons, helping you to develop both personally and professionally.

work experience

Of course, the key benefit of an internship abroad is the work experience you’ll be undertaking! With a huge number of partner firms, Beyond Academy will find the perfect company for you in your industry of choice. Whether you’re looking for design internships in Tokyo or tech internships in Stockholm, businesses large and small are looking to train the next generation of young professionals.

You might even impress your firm so much that they offer you the opportunity to work full-time with them. This is a major benefit of getting to work in the heart of a firm; when they need to recruit somebody, they’re likely to consider somebody who they already know – and can trust to do the job properly. Otherwise, having weeks or months of work experience with a professional firm will help you when it comes to applying for future roles. You’ll be able to draw on real-life instances of professional challenges to illustrate your aptitude for the role, helping you stand out from other candidates.

career support

From networking opportunities to 1-to-1 career sessions, Beyond Academy can provide their interns with a wide range of extra support to help them as they begin their careers. 

A key part of building a career in any sector is networking. While most industries are trying to make hiring processes fairer, it’s still part of human nature to favour somebody that you know. Even having your face to your name can give you a small advantage over a competitor. Even if it’s not a full job offer, having your foot in the door can make all the difference.

Similarly, you’ll enjoy a wide range of career support while you intern abroad. A 1-to-1 career session is a good way of reflecting on your journey so far and how you’re getting on in your internship. It’s a place to set out any goals you might have, and plan your next steps after completing your internship. With professional support, you’ll feel utterly supported as you work abroad, leaving your program with a clear goal and the tools to achieve it.

summary

If you’re keen to get ahead in your sector of choice, an international internship will help you go beyond your passion. From wide-ranging career support to fantastic work experience and cultural experiences galore, there’s nothing like working abroad to burnish your CV and develop personally in the meantime.
