WHY INTERN ABROAD

Why should you spend your time abroad on an internship instead of lounging on the beach? Apart form the cultural immersion and language exposure benefits (and delicious new foods and making new friends and seeing amazing places), your ability to market yourself after your internship is a great incentive. You’ll gain numerous, valuable insights – giving you a powerful advantage when you return home.

With legit work experience behind your name, there’s no need to try justifying those bad grades or that semester you took off… You can use your experience and references to negotiate for a higher position, or a better set of benefits. The more you have to offer, the easier it will be to find a position that truly suits you.

GVI’s internships combine real career experience with extra curricular training – giving you the best of both worlds. A fun, fulfilling experience that’ll set you apart, and send your resume to the top of the pile.

Complete your PADI Dive Master or TEFL qualification, even become a qualified field guide on your internship and then put those skills to good use in the working world while you contribute to critical conservation and community development initiatives.Consider the language skills aspect of an international internship.

Many of our internships give you the opportunity to learn or polish your Spanish language skills – a tangible outcome that will further differentiate you from everyone else that did an internship in London…
