DESCRIPTION
In an increasingly interconnected global labor market, employers are looking to hire people with experience in diverse and multicultural environments. The ability to engage and communicate across cultures is an important skill that enables job seekers in navigating the job market and a constantly evolving workplace.
An avenue to greater cultural immersion, this semester-long, unpaid international internship represents a unique opportunity to gain awareness of the challenges, subtleties, and pitfalls of working and living in a culture other than your own. Participating in an international internship enables you to put theory into practice, applying classroom conceptual learning to your direct, professional, and personal experiences in your "foreign" workplace.
This course is comprised of two parts which together offer experience in and significant reflection on the multicultural workplace. First you will be placed in a semester-long internship in your host city within a sector related to your professional ambitions. Second, you will enroll in an academic seminar that will require you to analyze and evaluate the workplace culture and the daily business environment you experience. Throughout the semester, and in collaboration with interns from other sectors, these seminars are designed to build the cognitive, behavioral, and affective skills you need to interpret and navigate the multicultural workplace. To this end, you will use current theoretical approaches to global competence, intercultural communication, and global business/workplace culture. While the seminar is conducted in English, your internship placement will be available in English and/or the language of your host country.
