What is an internship abroad?

  • An internship abroad means working for a foreign organization for a certain period of time in order to help and especially to learn from it.
  • For your work, you generally do not receive compensation in the form of salary, expenses or, for example, board and lodging.

Why should you intern abroad?

  • To gain experience in your own field of work, or in the sector you might want to work in later.
  • To see yourself at work in a different environment.
  • To be able to work in a different field and see if you like it.
  • To use as a stepping stone for a local job with a salary.
  • To help others with your efforts and skills.
  • To support organizations or causes you find important in your life.

What do you need if you want to do an internship abroad?

  • Flexibility: you already need some form of flexibility, the rest you will acquire during your stay abroad
  • Communication skills: depending on the type of work, you will need a reasonable to good command of the local language.
  • Independence and/or self-confidence: you will need some form of independence, and your self-confidence will grow through it
  • Environmental awareness: an important element for your stay abroad
  • Cooperation skills: also abroad it is important that you learn, or can learn, to cooperate when working with others
  • Organizational awareness
  • Empathy

To what extent are you insured for the risks of doing a traineeship and intern abroad?

  • Several reasons may apply why you need separate insurance when doing an internship abroad, or at least check your insured situation carefull
    • Local organizations usually offer no, or very limited, insurance
    • The risk of accidents is present because you are doing work with which you have little experience, for example
    • During your internship abroad, in most countries the coverage of your own health insurance expires. You will then need special insurance to remain properly insured for illness and accidents.

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
