Internships in Prague: June 3 - July 27, 2024
Your exact internship is determined through a personalized one-on-one placement process as part of the application to the program that matches your career goals, interests and level of experience. Students interning in Prague are placed with companies ranging from art galleries, human resources departments, and NGOs in a variety of industry sectors. Sample internship placements may include:
- Arts and Culture: art galleries, event management, museums, music schools, and theater
- Business : accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, human resources, management and supply chain
- Communications: journalism*, marketing, public relations, social media
- Politics, Law and NGOs: advocacy groups, non-profit organizations, and research
- Science*: computer sciences, environmental engineering
Your placement advisor works one-on-one with you to find an internship that matches your career goals, interests, and experience level. You are guaranteed an internship placement in your country of choice. However, some fields are challenging to find internship placements in, especially if your experience is limited. This program is recommended for students who want to gain professional work experience and build their intercultural skills in their fields of interest but are open to alternative placements if their first-choice field does not offer a placement.
