Experience
IAESTE strives to make the internship programme as accessible as possible. In 2021, we started serving students from countries without IAESTE presence and introduced remote internships. As a result, we are proud to provide internships to students of more than 160 nationalities, either in an on-site or remote setting.
Paid on-site internships enable students to gain valuable professional experience, live and work abroad, enhance their CVs, find new friendships and broaden their horizons. IAESTE interns solve business and research challenges in real work environments, offer new perspectives to their employers and develop their skills.
IAESTE remote internships provide students with meaningful work experience. They combine high-quality professional development with accessibility, flexibility and ability to hire quickly. Students can work from anywhere in the world, and thus improve their remote work skills. These internships are also suitable for students who can not travel.
