Remote Internship Program
Prepare Yourself for the Future of Work
A remote internship is a project-based internship experience that can be done from a remote location, without the need to be physically present at the office during office hours. You’ll be embarking on an international experience at no travel cost, completing your work without a commute and directly from your own laptop. Break down any barriers to entry you had about entering the workforce, and step with ease into the new world of remote internships.
Remote internships will allow you to market yourself to future employers, prove your worth at no travel cost, and kick-start an international career from anywhere. With remote work becoming increasingly popular among companies all around the world, a virtual internship program is the perfect place to start to prepare for the new digital age. Absolute Internship offers virtual internship opportunities in all of the major industries such as remote marketing internships, remote fashion internships, remote finance internships and many more. We match college students with international companies all from the comfort of their computer, unlocking countless new opportunities and experiences for our interns.
What Benefits Do Virtual Internships Provide?
Boost Your Employability
Doing a remote internship with a company internationally will help you obtain the skills needed to be a valuable asset to future employers such as:
-
- Time Management
- Cross-Cultural Fluency
- Adaptability
Having this skill-set in your resume proves you can thrive in a remote environment and will ultimately boost your employability once you graduate. With many companies now operating with a hybrid model, it is highly likely you’ll need to develop the skills necessary to work from home. During college is the perfect time to get a head start by gaining work experience online.
Remote work isn’t going anywhere in 2024 according to USA Today, so it will only give you as a college student a major advantage to begin exploring the world of remote work in an internship, now. Interns can really settle into learning what works best for them while interning remotely. Do they prefer a specific desk setup? Maybe they need absolute quiet…or perhaps the hustle and bustle of a nearby coffee shop? Now is a great time to dial in and focus on how you can perform your best work while interning remotely. You will impress future employers from the jump with your ability to easily and seamlessly adapt to your virtual internship program.
Make Your Resume Stand Out From The Crowd
A resume that shows a willingness to embrace risk and being flexible – in roles, industries, even location – is an asset. Students who have remote work experience gain flexibility and resilience. It’s your Adaptability Quotient (AQ) and no longer your IQ or Emotional Quotient (EQ), that will allow you to acquire new skills and get ready to navigate the future after graduation.
Your Adaptability Quotient is essentially how well you can adapt and change in time of uncertainty. Remote internship programs help interns learn how to truly be fluid and adjust to fit their environment, making you a well rounded and motivated candidate for future jobs. You’ll need to be your own motivator to do quality work, without the physical presence of others being your persuading force to complete good work. This sets you up early to truly find what drives you at work and allows for you to use your online internship as a way to train your brain to focus on the tasks at hand. Employers will be impressed, seeing a remote internship program on your resume, as you’ve proven you can hunker down and do the work from anywhere in the world.
Go Global From Anywhere
Whether you’re combining your studies, a part-time job, or family commitments, a remote internship allows you to go global from your home, having flexible hours 10 – 30 hours per week to meet academic requirements or other responsibilities. This virtual internship enables interns to truly have it all, by opening doors otherwise closed because of the need to “be” somewhere else. As long as you have wifi, you are able to gain career experience (a critical aspect for all new grads in today’s job market) while still being able to complete your other responsibilities.
At Absolute Internship, we understand that the opportunities that arise from being able to participate in a remote internship program levels the job entry playing field for many who otherwise would not be able to gain the necessary industry experience that they desire without it. We are extremely proud to be able to assist in making international internships easier for students to complete during their busy academic schedules.
