The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) list of competencies that contribute to the career readiness of today's college graduates include Global/ intercultural fluency as one of the marketable. Plus, in the NACE survey, employers identified their top four competencies as critical thinking/problem solving, professionalism/work ethic, teamwork, and communications skills. Students can develop all of these skills as part of a study abroad and global internship experience.

INDIVIDUALIZED INTERNSHIP PLACEMENTS CAPA takes time to get to know each student's interests to best match them with a placement focused on personal and professional growth by learning transferable skills with the support of a mentor and career workshops.

PART-TIME INTERNSHIPS

MASTER CLASSES

Part-time internships offer opportunities to combine study abroad academic coursework and a global internship placement while earning 3-6 credits. Placements are available for virtually any major.

Like TED Talks, these are practical and skills-focused presentations delivered by professionals and leaders in their fields. Each masterclass focuses on a specific theme like working and networking globally, gender and diversity in the workplace, and launching a start-up, for example.

FULL-TIME INTERNSHIPS Focus on work full-time with summer internships in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Dublin, and Sydney, while still participating in CAPA activities, excursions, and My Global City events. Placements are available for virtually any major.

MENT □ RING

CAREER W □ RKSH □ P

Through mock interviews, students develop interview skills by practicing how to effectively speak about their internship experience. They receive advice on how to best adapt resume and cover letters as well as how to articulate the internship and study abroad experience to future employers.

In a supportive group setting, you'll meet regularly with your mentor to openly discuss, evaluate and review your internship experience.
