Why do a winter internship in 2024?
Given that fewer interns tend to dedicate their winter break to internships, this is an ideal time to create a close-knit network with other interns on the program and your host organization’s team. Winter interns benefit from one-on-one mentorship opportunities and, depending on performance, may secure internship opportunities for the summer, or even full-time future positions for after graduation.

Accommodation
Private bedroom in shared accommodation
In-person winter interns get to experience all that their global city has to offer while still enjoying the comforts of home, with a private bedroom in a fully-furnished apartment. Interns live in their city’s safest neighborhoods, alongside other interns or international students. Every apartment has all the necessities, including lockable bedrooms, cooking utensils and of course, WiFi. While interning abroad, interns will commute the way locals do – via public transportation. Most interns commute between 30 and 60 minutes to their internship, by walking, biking, or taking the bus or metro.
