Pave a path to a job abroad<\/h4>\n<p>While an internship is not a guarantee of a secured job at that company after you graduate, interning abroad can definitely help bring you closer to a goal of working overseas. It\u2019s an opportunity to gain local experience, and add local company to your resume that will stand out if you are applying to other companies abroad. It\u2019s also someone who can act as a reference for you locally, which may carry extra credibility depending on the industry.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Access to unique expertise<\/h4>\n<p>There are some lessons that must be learned through experience and are best experienced by going abroad to a specific location that matches your studies and interests. Our students interning in Thailand who work for a local NGO that helps Burmese refugees and Indigenous people of Thailand are not going to have that experience anywhere else. If you\u2019re a surf fanatic, for example, and want a career in the industry, a chance to intern in Australia is an opportunity you don\u2019t want to pass up. It\u2019s home to multiple events on the pro circuit each year and there are more than 2.5 recreational surfers in Australia, putting it on the map as a top surf destination globally.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9755\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9755\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Thai-Freedom-House-Internship.jpg\" alt=\"Corinne at her Summer Internship at Thai Freedom House with some of the staff and Director\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9755\" src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Thai-Freedom-House-Internship.jpg\" alt=\"Corinne at her Summer Internship at Thai Freedom House with some of the staff and Director\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Thai-Freedom-House-Internship.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Thai-Freedom-House-Internship-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Thai-Freedom-House-Internship-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Thai-Freedom-House-Internship-310x207.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript> Corinne at her Summer Internship at Thai Freedom House with some of the staff and Director<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>4. Practice language skills<\/h4>\n<p>Being able to practice your language skills outside the classroom is a great experience, especially in a professional setting. Even if you aren\u2019t fluent and your internship is in English, going abroad provides\u00a0opportunities to practice with native speakers. Annie de Saussure, a PhD candidate in French at Yale University explains that it\u2019s important to think about quality over quantity when it comes to learning a language abroad. Research shows that it\u2019s not just about how much time students spend abroad, but it\u2019s about the quality of interactions in the language. Learning a language requires effort from both from the student and host. So it\u2019s important to seize these opportunities when they present themselves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9754\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9754\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9754\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Douglas Katz, University of Maryland who studied abroad in China\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9754\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9754\" src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Douglas Katz, University of Maryland who studied abroad in China\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Language-310x233.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript> Photo by Douglas Katz, University of Maryland who studied abroad in China<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>5.\u00a0Access to further professional opportunities<\/h4>\n<p>The time spent at your desk isn\u2019t the only benefit to interning abroad. Take advantage of attending professional events, workshops and pursuing other opportunities in your new city. This can be especially beneficial if you are considering pursing a career overseas. Network and start to learn about the local landscape to build a foundation for later down the track when you\u2019re job searching and interviewing.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Living abroad makes you smarter<\/h4>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/79937\/how-studying-or-working-abroad-makes-you-smarter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent TIME article<\/a> featured research showing that experience in other countries makes us more flexible, creative, and complex thinkers. Angela Leung, an associate professor of psychology at Singapore Management University has done research on the psychological effects of living abroad. She discovered that people with more experiences of different cultures are better able to generate creative ideas and make unexpected links among concepts. So not only are you gaining skills related to your field while you intern abroad, you are expanding your mind in many ways, perhaps not even visible, while living abroad.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9756\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9756\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Queenstown by Shannon Johnston who interned aboard in New Zealand\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9756\" src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Queenstown by Shannon Johnston who interned aboard in New Zealand\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Queenstown-1-310x233.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript> Photo of Queenstown by Shannon Johnston who interned aboard in New Zealand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>7.\u00a0Open your eyes to new opportunities<\/h4>\n<p>Even if going abroad doesn\u2019t inspire you to move back to that same country or city where you interned, it might put other ideas in your head. Interning somewhere like Australia that does a lot of business with Asia you might suddenly be thinking about careers in the Asia-Pacific region. Or it might make you consider roles and careers back home that work with this part of the world. Interning abroad lets you explore opportunities that perhaps you never had been exposed to previously.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Greater cultural understanding<\/h4>\n<p>Similar to the point about living abroad \u2018making you smarter\u2019 there are other ways going abroad changes you. You can gain a greater cultural awareness from living and interning abroad in your host country. An understanding of another culture and global market also can make you more valuable and marketable to future employers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9757\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9757\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9757\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/New-Zealand-Culture.jpg\" alt=\"Learning about M\u0101ori Culture in New Zealand \" width=\"1000\" height=\"740\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9757\" src=\"http:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/New-Zealand-Culture.jpg\" alt=\"Learning about M\u0101ori Culture in New Zealand \" width=\"1000\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/New-Zealand-Culture.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/New-Zealand-Culture-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/New-Zealand-Culture-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teanabroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/New-Zealand-Culture-310x229.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript> Learning about M\u0101ori Culture in New Zealand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>9. Experience life abroad as a local<\/h4>\n<p>While you can certainly experience a destination with a local mindset as a study abroad student, there are certain things about interning abroad that make it even easier to get into the local mindset. \u00a0The experience alone of having colleagues who are local, and likely being only one (or one of a small group) in your internship will help set you up to have more local experiences.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Step outside your comfort zone<\/h4>\n<p>Starting a new internship (or any new job) can be a bit nerve wracking even when you are in your hometown. So yes, pursuing an internship abroad will push you outside your comfort zone and that\u2019s a good thing.\u00a0 Challenging yourself is going to help you grow professionally, and on a personal level.
