It pays to be top of the class when on college and be able to get a paid internship. As universities brings the world to their classrooms by including cultural immersion of students on their study abroad programs and introduce their students not only to the variety of selective cultures but to the world by encouraging each student to broaden their horizons and grab intern abroad.
The university in the west spearheaded such international internship ideas and destination. This is to equip their students for the competitive reality of the work world. The high demand of competitive skills in the global market is the basis of such steps of these universities. They wanted to produce students who can survive the competition.
Now, the study abroad programs are slowly broadening their destination and pave the way for a more different culture not only of the east but throughout the world. From Ghana to the Czech Republic, from China to Poland, Germany to Paris – not the destination seems limitless, expansive, interesting and more farther a field.
Some students though prefer to work as volunteers abroad on a certain company during their internships; however this kind of intern can also be considered as a work abroad. So the students earn an international experience abroad while still during their study and thus benefit him as he looks for work.
One student observes that “experiential learning” is very much effective. The internship has given a concrete sample of the theories learned in the books. These theories came alive and are more meaningful and well-understood than just by reading and learning it from the books.
Among the European country, Germany as their internship destination really helped them understand history much more. A student who had studies history in connection with German history would really appreciate a visit to this country.
