The WorldStrides team will identify a meaningful work experience that aligns with your career goals. As a part of the application process, each student has a personalized advising session with a Career Advisor who helps them reflect on their goals for the internship and articulate these goals in their cover letter. Our on-site placement teams have more than 15 years of experience in matching college students with companies that help them develop in-demand, industry-specific skills and mentor them throughout the process.

“My internship in South Korea was extremely influential in my job interviewing process, and largely because of my internship experience, I just landed a job as a Content Editor with H&R Block. This internship was incredibly valuable not just for my personal experience, but it has definitely helped me in my career goals as well.”
