Arrangements
You’ll work closely with CIEE to arrange an internship that fits your academic and career goals. After a pre-placement meeting, the on-site team will reach out to organizations that are a good fit. They then coordinate an interview between you and a prospective internship provider. You'll do most of this work before you leave.
After you apply to the program, you will receive more detailed instructions on how to set up your internship. Review the CIEE personalized placement process for more information.
