How to Intern Abroad in France
Prepare for an Internship
Set goals
While making the most of your time abroad, why not set some goals to really refine what you’d like to gain from your internship? Here are a few basics to start with:
- Choose the part of the field you like most, whether hard or soft skills, and push to improve in those areas. Examples could be time management, a specific skill within the field, or empathy toward peers.
- Examine both the small and large picture of this internship and your general career direction. See what small-picture opportunities presently can feed into the larger ones.
- Outside working hours, consider what you want to gain personally from your time abroad! International travel can lead to huge strides in an individual's mindset.
Understand the benefits
Having international internship experience is a big plus when it comes to professional and personal development. Here are a few highlights.
- Professional growth. As an international market and hub, there are plenty of great opportunities and companies to learn about and work with while expanding your network and refining your skills.
- Say ‘Bonjour’ to culture. France is notorious for their view of the world and how the French people have always operated. Take part in the festivals, celebrations, and traditions France has to offer, and find your joie de vivre.
- Grow your career. Having a French internship under your belt is no small feat. The process of entering the French workforce can be a bit lengthy, not to mention actually doing the work! Employers are bound to take note.
Things to know
Regardless of where you are in France, there are a few basics every intern should take note of before heading there.
- Visa and VIP paperwork. Non-EU professionals need a visa, and each program might require different documentation, so check with your internship to ensure all paperwork is in order.
- Language. Learning basic French is appreciated as a sign of respect, and it’s helpful since most signage is in French, especially when traveling.
- Cultural etiquette. In France, eye contact is a key form of communication, showing interest and attentiveness, and it’s polite to address unfamiliar or older individuals as Madame or Monsieur.
