Understanding the people and cultures of different countries is no longer considered just an advantage; it is a necessity. When you intern abroad, you will be working in organizations that will give you a first-hand understanding of the interconnection as well as the challenges opportunities people in other countries face and how they traditionally deal with them.

You will become attuned to small cultural differences so that you can better understand and easily adapt to a variety of circumstances and environments throughout your life and career. Whether your internship takes you to Sydney or London, you will come away with a wealth of cultural, interpersonal and business know-how difficult to gain in any other way. These multicultural skills will be an asset to you throughout your career.

Undertaking an internship abroad with The Washington Center will help you deepen your understanding of the world and, especially, make you a more attractive candidate for work at international organizations and multinational businesses.
