The Placement Process
: for interns abroad
Printer-friendly versionThe Intern Abroad placement process differs from that of our programs in Washington, D.C. Once you have committed to the program, your application materials will be sent to the internship placement team abroad. Your application will then be reviewed to determine which internship might be the best fit for you. Your Statement of Professional Interest will be of particular importance at this stage of the process.
Placement information will be provided during the seminar in Washington, D.C. Though some students may have phone interviews before the seminar begins, this is rare.
