IES has been offering quality, part-time internships for nearly 60 years and full-time internships with the introduction of IES Internships in 2013. And now, they’re bringing the internships to you with the IES® Virtual Internship Program. You tell IES which term you want to go, what you would like to do, if you have a preference of where your employer is located (one of several IES Abroad host cities), how many hours you want to work (between 10 and 32 per week), and IES makes the arrangements. You get the same hands-on (just not literally), professional experience you'd get abroad, while also gaining the remote working skills that are oh-so-important right now, plus an international component to boot.
