About Program

We designed our internship program with personalization and career competencies in mind. Our placement process involves getting to know you and your goals well enough to find the right internships and host organization for you. In addition to finding you the right placement, our Career & Internship Team also coaches you on how to compose a strong résumé and cover letter and how to give a great interview.

Our internship program in Sydney is a summer only program and students will take the Multicultural Workplace Seminar at the CEA CAPA Sydney Center and will also complete a full-time internship. We built our internship program on a solid academic foundation, thanks to the required Multicultural Workplace Seminar Course designed to help students process their internship. You’ll choose between either an 8- or 12-week internship in Sydney.

Diversity & Inclusion 💙

CEA CAPA provides, in conjunction with Diversity Abroad, Destination Guides which provide resources and tips for Black/African-American students, Latinx students, Asian American students, and all other students of color.
Through our personalized advising, CEA CAPA takes steps to understand the needs of a diversity of student identities like the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition to diversity and identity training, CEA CAPA leadership engage in continuous department level project work to identify and revise policies and practices using the appropriate Justice, Equity, Diversity or Inclusion lens as a frame to reduce bias and barriers that impact students, faculty, and staff. CEA CAPA is intentional in elevating diverse student voices and providing a platform for a broad array of identities to share their experiences abroad. The CEA CAPA World Blog promotes stories and personal experiences from the perspectives of diverse student bloggers and vloggers.
CEA CAPA is willing and able to assist students with learning disabilities and physical disabilities. Students are requested to disclose disabilities through the application health forms as part of their application and in discussion with their application advisor or program manager. The earlier CEA CAPA is made aware of learning or physical disabilities the better we can work with the student, institution, and overseas team to tailor an Individualized Education Program if necessary to support the student.

Awesome experience for international students!

As an international student in the US, I didn't initially consider studying abroad since I was already "abroad." I thought it better to stay in the States, build my resume, explore the country, etc. However, this program completely changed my mind, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone!

You get to escape the winter weather (which, around Chicago, is quite brutal), explore probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and meet people from all over the world. Sydney is much more multicultural than I expected, and it's truly the perfect mix of a big urban artsy city + beach town + stunning national parks.

Specific to people studying any discipline in mental healthcare, my internship experience in Australia was likely more meaningful than anything I could have obtained as a psychology undergrad in the States. There are plenty of excellent research centers that allow you, as an intern, to gain hands-on clinical experience and academic publications. Anyways, all in all a great program!!! Can't recommend enough :)

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I went diving in the Great Barrier Reef and this sea turtle and 6-foot-long maori wrasse started swimming alongside us for a good 5-10 minutes!

Abroad In Sydney

My experience was so amazing and Australia provided the opportunity to experience an entirely different side of the world which was very special. Sydney was a balance of beaches and city and it offered so many cultures and activities. I was able to explore and meet lots of new people while traveling. Going abroad helped me find a new sense of independence and there were many moments where I was encouraged to step outside of my comfort zone, and I am so thankful that I did because it allowed me to find out more about myself.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would tell future travelers to take chances and to take advantage of every opportunity while they're abroad. Travel provides so many moments for students to step outside of their comfort zone and some of my favorite memories were times that I was nervous or unsure. There are so many people looking out for you while you're abroad so take the time to push yourself and grow.
Pros
  • I made so many new friends
  • Traveled to new places
  • Became more independent
