Studying Abroad with EIabroad

During my last guest appearance on Plum television show, LIFE.LOVE.SHOPPING, I spoke with show host Michelle about the benefits to Studying Abroad and the fantastic company EIabroad.

Here are some of the highlights we talked about on the show.

1. Interning abroad provides a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Immersing oneself in a different culture allows you to develop into
more of a global citizen. The ability to intern abroad should
compliment a students academic foundation and use the experience
to create contacts, gain exposure, and knowledge to succeed in an
increasingly interconnected world.

2. It is not about the battle of interning in the U.S or Abroad, its
more about expanding your horizons. Going to a new city provides new
insight and understanding of what makes the world go around. The
internship process is not only about figuring out what you want to do
with your life, but it is also about figuring out where you want to
start your life.

3. Internship company, EiAbroad, has successfully placed 98% of
accepted applicants into internships. There is often the knock that “internships are for rich kids” and
in some cases that may be true. However, an internship can become a
vital investment in ones future. EiAbroad is currently offering four
$2,500 scholarships through our campaign partners, Abroad101 and
Hopskotch. In 2011, they offered scholarships and early enrollment
discounts of more than $50,000.

4. A typical student looking for an internship is a sophomore or
junior in college with interest in New York, London, Paris, or
Barcelona programs. However, there are both undergraduate and
graduated students from all over the world ranging from 18 to 28 years
old partaking in internships. With participants joining EiAbroad from
six different continents as far as Auckland, Australia, Lagos, Nigeria
to right hear in New York City, their clientele truly is
international.

Other positives to studying abroad include:
• Gain career experience while gaining international experience- become more worldly

• Looks very good on your resumes/increases your marketability

• Learn what it is like to work in a different country

• Make International connections

• Employers many time offer their interns permanent positions after graduation

• Receive academic credit, Many times you can utilize your
internship work experience for class credit

– Step outside your box,outside comfort zone, experience culture shock and self development
