The possibilities for internships in North America are endless. Whatever your professional field of interest, North America can offer a high quality and engaging environment in which to land an internship abroad and gain invaluable global work experience.

Beginning in the private sector – internships in Advertising and Marketing, Business, Communications, Media, and the like abound across the continent. Since the U.S. and Canada are advanced economies with some of the largest and most successful businesses on the planet, these two countries present many fruitful internship opportunities in the business world along with larger career prospects.

In the public sectors – in areas such as Education, Healthcare, Social Advocacy, Politics, and NGO work – the type of internship you may find will be largely determined by the location of your placement. For example, because Mexico is a developing economy, you may have the opportunity for more hands on work with community building in local regions. In the U.S. and Canada you will also have the opportunity to participate in hands on internships, but these societies will take a much different approach to Social Welfare and Education since these countries are both considered advanced economies.

Internships in Environmental Development and the Arts are also widely available in North America, offering very promising opportunities for growth and professional development.

Most internships in North America are available year round, giving interns great flexibility in customizing their own experience abroad and choosing their preferred season.
