Remote Internships with Global Companies

I was set up with a marketing agency in China during summer 2020 and learned so much about the industry. It was invaluable experience that has helped me secure a competitive graduate scheme! I worked for 20 hours a week, giving enough time for enjoying the summer, as well as undertaking supplementary courses. There was also a lot of extra course content from Virtual Internships themselves, as well as really enjoyable webinars on topics such as interview skills. It is also an amazing opportunity to gain well valued international experience.

I got to experience working as a financial data analyst for a UK company, and it was an eye-opening experience as I got to learn more about finance as an industry, which has definitely helped me in my graduate recruitment journey! As this internship is virtual, I also gained valuable skills in how to work effectively and independently when working at home. My manager was very supporting, and the Virtual Internships team was very helpful in answering all my queries. If you are struggling to find work experience, do give Virtual Internships a try as you will definitely gain a lot out of the programme.

Virtual Interships provided me with a great opportunity to explore my professional options through an online internship. I was able to work as a Social Media Intern for Boundless Impact which is based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The internship was definitely out of my comfort zone as I has little experience about social media but by the ned of the internship, I was able to submit a template for the newsletter and also complete profiles of my colleagues. It was really cool to see my work on their website.
It was also really helpful to have routine check-ins with Virtual Internships that helped me in organising my time and reflecting effectively on my work.

Truly a wonderful experience!

I did online internships with companies in Vietnam and Nepal. These were a fantastic addition to my CV in a year where international travel was practically nonexistent. CRCC was really helpful throughout, providing me regular updates about the progress of my job searching process and promptly answering any queries that I had. The work I did was challenging and helped me to develop new skills and learn lots of really useful information. The video call with an employee from CRCC at the halfway point of the internship was really beneficial in evaluating my development. Would highly recommend.

During my short but impactful time working as a marketing intern at a company based in Shanghai, I gained so much valuable experience in only 5 weeks. I instantly felt as though I was a valued team member and was able to take ownership of several hands-on projects within the first week. The team not only made me feel extremely welcomed but held me to high standards which cultivated an open and growth-oriented environment. As a result, I have gained so many new skills, as well as refined the skills I came in with, resulting in a newfound confidence as I approach future opportunities.

My experience with virtual internships was amazing. I went into the program with specific target skills in mind, however I ended up learning so many other skills such as design software, cross cultural time management, data management, etc. My supervisors were so helpful throughout my time interning and I felt like I could come to them with anything I was feeling. The workload is very manageable and the partner organizations are just great! My favorite part of interning was the ability to build my network.

I'm a university student and in order to get a great corp training opportunity, I had to have some type of experience, but covid19 made that difficult. Thankfully i was able to utilize my summer for learning new things and gaining experience with virtual internships. Thankfully, I was offered better opportunities after completing the program.

I think they should focus more on picking the companies that host the interns, and should get a full, detailed plan on what they are going to work on to make sure interns are going to get the best of the program. In my experience i never communicated with anyone from the firm except my supervisor, i wish there was more interaction or at least introduction to the rest of the team.

I loved my experience with virtual internships. It delivered exactly what was mentioned and provided the experience one needs as an internship. You can get international expertise from home and work on your skills. Your placement company supervisor and program supervisor will make sure to keep up with your goals and skills you may want to gain/improve. Some aspects of the internship are different than real life internships but they coincide with our current workplace conditions post covid. A good way to start adapting to different work settings and styles.
