Foreign-Language Internships
One of the most effective ways for students to immerse themselves in another culture -- arguably the best -- is for them to work there. Internships provide real training, contacts, impressive lines for resumes, and sometimes even a foot in the door to a full-time job. Interns enjoy maximal contact with native speakers, abundant opportunities to practice languages, learn new skills, and hone the skills they have been taught on campus through practical use.
Germanic Languages offers its students help in finding internships in German-speaking countries. We attempt to find jobs that match students' abilities, interests, and career choices, ranging from auto companies to biotech firms to museums and nature reserves.
GDS is very proud of its internship program, which was featured in the Fall 2003 issue of LSA Magazine. Click here to read the article [PDF].
