MESSAGE
FROM founder
E
xploring the opportunity of living and interning abroad is an exciting process and we look forward to providing you with personal support as you navigate your options and make the right choice for your future. When I founded Global Experiences in 2001, an internship abroad program was a novel idea. Now, we are proud to be a leader in an industry that has increased in popularity over the years and has resulted in so many more students and recent graduates going overseas for an internship experience. In 1998 when I interned abroad in Jakarta, Indonesia with the United Nations, I had to navigate the experience without the help of Google, local support, or the Global Experiences team to help me through all the nuances and struggles. However, it was an experience that changed my life because of the challenges and opportunities it gave me. Global Experiences was created to provide individuals and university partners access to the same type of life-changing experiences that I had in Indonesia through our global network of internship opportunities, intense career development, and local Global Experience staff on location. Every member of our team has lived, worked, or studied overseas and is here to pay it forward.
Taking part in an international internship experience is a growing trend and it has seen rapid expansion in the last 10 years as both students and young professionals embrace the chance to gain personal enrichment and professional development in a global context. Though the industry is growing, we are consistent in our dedication to providing innovative career development programming, customized academic partnerships, and personalized attention to each participant so that you will have a safe, fun, and professional experience abroad. We welcome you to join us for a customized global experience that will give you an edge in life!
