Placements for Global Remote Internships – Individual Placements
Global Remote Internship Individual placements are very similar to our In-Person Internship placements. In most cases, our established host organizations are able to provide the same type of experience for remote interns. The main difference is that you will have a more refined list of projects on your offer letter for a Global Remote Internship to ensure that there are clear career goals and structure since you will be working independently from home. You can review the Career Fields pages for more details about the types of placements.
