How to Intern Abroad in the United States
Prepare for an Internship
Set goals
Figuring out what you want to do is one thing, but doing so in the USA can be an even bigger task! After narrowing down your field, here are a few questions to consider when considering goals:
- Set clear and ambitious goals for yourself. Are there any professional (or personal) achievements you’d like to make while interning?
- Learn valuable personal and professional skills that build growth. Acquiring these skills will not only enhance my resume but also prepare me for future challenges.
- Connect with people personally and professionally while learning about the world and yourself. Building these relationships can open new opportunities and foster personal growth.
Understand the benefits
Regardless of what you know of the States, it’s undeniable that there’s much to experience there!
- Accommodation assistance is typical. Employers will help or have accommodations that generally meet all the Western standards.
- Lots to do and see. The USA offers everything from historical and cultural sites to sports communities to a colorful social nightlife. Looking for outdoor activities after work—the US has you covered!
- Vast food options. It’s no secret that the offerings are a bit mind-boggling, with options ranging from staple regional specialties to incredible indigenous fairs to the wild fusion-inspired options that have become American.
Things to know
You might be wondering what you should look into as you plan to intern in the US. Here are the top things you have to work on:
- Basics. Most internships need good English skills and are aimed at students or young professionals. You’ll likely need health insurance, so look into that early. Show initiative and commitment—it’s key to success in many work cultures.
- Cost of living. Costs vary by location, so know what your program covers and plan a budget to manage your spending.
- Visas. Check visa requirements early since most internships need one. Stay connected with your embassy for help and resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re an international student looking for an internship in the US, you’ll first want to figure out if you need the F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visa. In some cases (like the J-1 visa), you’ll also need a sponsor. Once you know which visa you’ll be applying for, it’ll be easier to get an internship, either by searching online or through your university.
After finding viable internship opportunities, you can either apply through a program provider or directly to the company you’re interested in interning at. You’ll need to present your resume/CV and (most likely) a cover letter, as well as proof of English language proficiency and visa eligibility.
There are internship opportunities all across the USA! Depending on your field, some locations might be more relevant than others. For example, if you’re interning in technology or computer programming, Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago, and California are good places to start looking.
If you’re a US citizen, it’ll be easier to find paid internship opportunities in the US. In certain cases, international students are also eligible for paid internships. There are stipulations that allow you to be paid on both the F-1 and J-1 visas, so be sure to ask your internship provider about this.
To intern in the US, you’ll either need a F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visa. The F-1 visa is for international students who intend to study full-time in the US (but allows up to 20 hours of work per week in approved settings), while the J-1 exchange visa is intended for cultural exchange participants.
