Internships in North America

The United States is the obvious place to begin. One of the world’s wealthiest and most influential countries offers an unparalleled environment to gain international work experience in whatever your field of interest. From New York City to Chicago to San Francisco, the “Land of Opportunity” is ripe with – you guessed it – opportunity. Many of the world’s largest companies are located in the U.S., and the country also offers a highly stimulating environment for cultural studies and the arts. The U.S. is so large and diverse that interns should research locations carefully to find a city that is the best fit for their area of interest.

To the North is Canada, which though dwarfed by America in most ratings of economic power has a significant leg up in many measurements of life quality and happiness. The world’s second largest country is quite sparsely populated, offering some of the most scenically beautiful landscapes to be found amongst its several major cities spanning east to west. Choose intnerships in Canada for a more laid back and friendly culture than the U.S. However, be warned, the winters are quite literally freezing.

The southernmost constituent of North America is Mexico. Though significantly less developed than the United States and Canada, Mexico offers many rewarding internship opportunities, particularly in the areas of development and education. Settled within a backdrop of pristine beaches and desert landscapes, Mexico offers international interns the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in an archetypal Latin American culture.
