The opportunity to participate in a global internship is now featured prominently in study abroad program offerings. This joint CIEE and IIE research study features data from eight stakeholder organizations that facilitate internship experiences for study abroad students through their organization. It explores the professional outcomes of study abroad alumni who engaged in an internship while overseas and highlights the impact of the global internship experience on the alumni’s reported development of 21st-century skills and the relevance in their careers today. The report seeks to inform the broader conversation between higher education institutions, their study abroad and internship partners, and employers around the skills graduates should gain and possess to be successful in the global workforce.
