Evaluations from previous IIP Interns help frame the context of the work you may hope to pursue as you apply to the International Internship Program (IIP). These reflections are a narrative of an individual experience and may not always reflect how someone else may engage or connect to the work with an organization. Read carefully, as there is much to gain from understanding other’s experiences but also be mindful that the internships: may vary in format (in-country or virtual), that different supervisors may be assigned year to year, some positions, although rewarding in their own respect, may not always be aligned with an intern’s future goals. 

Internships will offer a multitude of benefits, from gaining work experience, to publishing and presenting new work, know that they are also a means by which to explore industries that may apply to a future career goal, expose an intern to new avenues, or create the realization that a different career path is more suited to one’s next goal. Evaluations help guide decision-making, but they are only one aspect of deciding which internship is best for you. If you haven’t yet scheduled an appointment with an adviser, or attended an upcoming info session, there are still opportunities to gain more information on IIP.  Happy reading! 

The following is a list of internship names and how you will find them in the evaluation fold.
