This one is pretty self-explanatory. You should do an internship abroad because you want to travel and see new cultures, beautiful sights, and meet new people. We are living in an international job market and having a world perspective will help you relate to people in and outside of the workplace.
Having global awareness will strengthen your soft skills like communication and positive attitude. Anyone who has lived or interned abroad will tell you that nothing makes you learn faster than by immersing yourself in a new country.
You will quickly adapt to understand the nuances of a new culture, language, and even workplace behavior. Deciding to go and live abroad for a few months can be a daunting, but exciting, decision. However, once you are there and interning on your own it gives you a very real sense of independence and empowerment. You still gained some great transferable skill and you got to travel. Immersing yourself in a country that speaks another language is the fastest, and best, way to improve your language skills.
If you decide to an internship in an non-English speaking destination you will definitely have to face the challenge of a language barrier, but you will dramatically increase your fluency within that language. You can never have too many people in your network. During your internship abroad you will make connections with your host employer, other interns, and other leaders within your industry overseas. At Global Experiences we even offer networking events to let students practice their networking and conversations skills while make making connections with professionals within their industry.
