OVERVIEW

The globalized economy of the 21st century demands graduates be fluent in international perspectives—whether or not their prospective industry is commercial. Our Summer Internship Program allows students to immerse in the culture, while facilitating the development of their international communication, professional and intercultural intelligence skills through a practical international internship experience.

The 9-week program will be a four-part experience: academic component, orienting students on concepts and culture led by local professors at Insper; the practicum, or the internship placement; coaching, mentoring student interns during their practicum led by a local professor or professional; and unpacking, reflecting and developing takeaways contributing to a more global mindset.
