Internships Abroad

Because of cost and the legal issues of doing internships abroad, where
many are fee-based, internships are more difficult to work out in another
country than in the States. However, ambitious students sometimes manage
to do this. This possibility will be made much easier during the 2008-2009
academic year when Centre will initiate a CentreTerm internship program
in Merida, home of the Centre-in-Mexico program. This program will be open
to all students, though preference given to students who have studied in
Merida or have competence in Spanish; it is jointly administered by the
Merida faculty director (Dr. Genny Ballard in 2008-09) and Mindy Wilson
in the Career Services office. Additionally, in recent years Centre students
have been selected for a summer internship in Santiago, Chile, sponsored
by K.I.I.S. (Kentucky Institute for International Studies), and Centre’s proposed
program in Shanghai, China, includes the option of staying on for an internship
after the academic term. Information on obtaining international internships is
available on the Career Services section of the Centre website.
