Your Internship Matters
An international internship is a distinctive experience that enhances your employability. The ability to work effectively with people from different cultures helps you throughout your career - from getting your first job after graduation to leading an organization.
Our placement teams have guided over 25,000 students through the internship experience, offering advice and strategies to help them navigate their professional practice and cultural immersion.
No two students and no two internships are exactly alike. Our placement teams take the time through individual internship consultation meetings to understand your personal, academic, and professional needs and match you with the internship that gives you the best opportunity to achieve your goals.
EUSA continues to support you throughout your internship - from prompting you to reflect on your developing skills through Growth Tracker to helping you resolve specific challenges.
Our placement teams carefully screen and monitor the companies and organizations we work with through regular contact - including in-person visits and student assessments.
Develop Competencies by Practicing Skills
Use EUSA’s Growth Tracker to select three professional competencies - broad areas demonstrating knowledge, ability, and behaviors - that you want to advance. EUSA’s Growth Tracker will identify which skills - that is, specific tasks and activities - to work on to develop each competency.
During your internship, you will update the Growth Tracker on your progress and provide examples of how you are developing these competencies.
By the end of the program, you’ll have specific examples tracked back to your professional competencies. You will be able to speak confidently about your growth in a meaningful way which will set you up for future successful interviews, applications, and continuing development.
Explore below the different competencies you may develop.
