Vietnam is heaven in terms of internship placements, ranging from healthcare to finance. When searching for the ideal internship in Vietnam for you, the thing to keep in mind is what kind of experience you are looking for. If you want to develop skills for a corporate job someday, seek out a business or finance internship. If you desire to master the Vietnamese language, seek a remote internship in Vietnam. Finally, if you want to perfect your cross cultural communication skills, take your pick of internship placements across the country! Most host organizations and companies accept applicants that are in the process of getting their bachelor’s degree, or have already graduated.

Finance. In recent years, Vietnam has seen a huge increase in investments from foreign banks looking to get in on profitable Vietnamese financial institutions. Therefore, many Vietnamese youth are looking toward careers in finance, making the field an exciting, competitive opportunity for foreign interns. Interns may have the chance to work at banks such as Vietcombank, BIDV, and VietinBank during a finance internship in Vietnam, all of which would add some really valuable experience to any resume. Finally, prospective interns who want to be involved in stocks and trading can look into internships in Vietnam at trading centers like Ho Chi Minh’s Securities Trading Center or Hanoi’s Securities Trading Center.

Medicine & Healthcare placements are some of the more fascinating types of internships in Vietnam. Interns with a medical background will have the opportunity to truly help local Vietnamese people struggling with illness and disease. Many interns also work with children with disabilities or those affected by Agent Orange, which was released during the Vietnam War. If you’re looking for a unique internship that includes hands-on medical experience not available in most other countries, think about pursuing a medical internship in Vietnam.
