Yes, international internships can significantly strengthen your resume by providing practical work experience, professional networking opportunities, intercultural communication skills, and exposure to global workplace environments—all of which are increasingly valued by employers.

The vast majority of AIFS Abroad internships are unpaid, which is consistent with international labor laws and norms in many countries. The value of the experience—professional development, global exposure, networking, and resume-building—is significant even without financial compensation. However, if an employer offers you a stipend or other form of compensation, you are welcome to accept it.

Yes, you will have free time during your intern abroad program. While internship programs are structured around a full-time work schedule, students typically have evenings and weekends free to explore their host city, travel, and take advantage of AIFS Abroad’s activities and excursions.

Yes, housing is included in all AIFS Abroad internship programs. Locations vary by program and destination, but we vet all housing options for safety, cleanliness, and convenient access to your internship site and host city. Specific housing details are available on individual program pages of our website, or you can contact our team for destination-specific information.
