About Program

Develop valuable professional skills while exploring a potential career path — virtually! With Gap at CET's Global Virtual Internship program, you gain experience and knowledge that can be added directly to your résumé and college applications — and you can even gain college credit for it too.

As a Gap at CET intern, you are matched with an organization in Amman, Cali, Prague, Shanghai, or Taipei, based on your interests, background, and language abilities. You work part-time (10-15 hours/week) on project-based work that directly supports the mission of your organization. You also enroll in a 3-credit core course, giving you context for your experience. Through conversations with your faculty and classmates, you learn to navigate international workplaces with professionalism, maximize your on-the-job contributions, and identify your academic and professional priorities — all as you prepare for your undergraduate career.

Diversity & Inclusion 💙

CET believes in making study abroad accessible to students of all races, religions, origins, abilities, gender identities, and sexual orientations. We’ve gathered experiences from BIPOC students to share as resources such as the Identity Abroad pages, Perspective Pieces, and Identity Abroad Support Networks. We are also dedicated to becoming a more anti-racist organization by transforming our workplace, programs, and industry with our Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) Action Plan.
CET supports and welcomes students of all identities on our programs. We provide program-specific information under the cultural climate section of our Identity Abroad webpages for LGBTQ individuals in each of our program locations.
CET makes every effort to offer accommodations comparable to that of the students’ home institution. Disclosing early helps us to make proper preparations. The accommodations offered at each program can be found on each program location's Identity Abroad page. These pages can provide a good idea about what classes are like in terms of workload and class time. Initiating one-on-one conversations with Student Service Coordinators can also help inform students' decisions and determine if a program will be a good fit.

The levels of accessibility, from wheelchair accessibility to extra time on exams, are under each program location’s Identity Abroad page.

Impact 🌎

CET is an environmentally conscientious organization at our headquarters in DC and programs all around the world. In each of our centers, we adopt local measures to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to sustainable practices. As part of our ongoing efforts towards sustainability, we’ve partnered with Cool Effect, a nonprofit focused on reducing carbon emissions through scientifically-proven, hand-selected carbon projects worldwide. For each trip taken by one of our staff members, travelers, or students, we donate to support three carbon projects chosen by staff volunteers every year.
When we set up a program overseas, we become a part of that local community. And as a community member, we are responsible for contributing to local initiatives in meaningful ways. Our website lists some local philanthropic organizations that help us fulfill this responsibility—they host our students, and we support their missions.
