International Internships

Be a Global Professional

• Asia

  Champlain College is the recipient of a prestigious grant from the Freeman Foundation, helping Champlain students from any major participate in a summer internship in cities such as Kyoto, Bangkok, Seoul, and Ho Chi Minh City. These internships are full-time and not for credit unless students pair them with an online Champlain class.

• Dublin

  Who is eligible for an internship in Dublin?

  Successful internship candidates will have a 3.0 GPA or higher and must be approved by their Program Director and ultimately approved by Champlain Abroad to pursue an internship for credit. You must enroll in the Study Abroad Internship course SAP 293 (3-credit) or SAP 390 (6-credit).

  Please note that internship placements are not guaranteed. Champlain will support you in your efforts to prepare, but ultimately, placement will be at the discretion of the company. All internships in Dublin during the semester are unpaid.

  How do I apply for an internship in Dublin?

  1. Set up a mandatory meeting with our International Internship Peer Coach from Career Collaborative to develop a professional resume and LinkedIn profile and practice your interviewing skills. Your career coach must approve both your resume and LinkedIn profile prior to the application deadline. Schedule a meeting with the career coach who supports your major.
  2. Apply to your desired semester in Dublin: champlain.terradotta.com
  3. Notify Champlain Abroad (champlainabroad@champlain.edu) that you are interested in an internship prior to the application deadline.
  4. Select the Study Abroad Internship Course on the Course Selection Questionnaire. This course may fulfill an internship requirement for your major. Please contact Champlain Abroad if you have questions about course selection (champlainabroad@champlain.edu).
  5. Once approved to study abroad, you will receive official notification from Champlain Abroad that you are approved to apply for an internship.

  Dublin internships do not require a special working visa.

• Auckland, New Zealand

  AUT (Auckland University of Technology) has an eight credit internship class which will work well for some students. AUT can help students get specific internships such as “film production” to help students fulfill course equivalency requirements.

• Third-Party Programs

  Most third-party programs offer internship opportunities; however, every country, every program and every term is different. If this is something that you want to do, be sure to make it part of your search criteria. Internships as well as other types of programs are often easier to do in the summer so be sure to include that in your search parameters if that is a possibility.
