WEBWIRE –

GlobaLinks Learning Abroad, a leading provider of study abroad programs across the globe promoting academic, cultural, personal, professional, and social discovery, today announced it is offering complimentary monthly webinars on international internship facilitation and programming.

Topics include:

  • going beyond placements
  • why intern abroad

  • program types
  • application considerations
  • academic credit assessment and facilitation
  • setting up special group intern programs
  • cultural differences in the work environment

“Our webinars on internships abroad are very popular, attracting about 100 participants in each live session and many additional views after they are posted on our website,” said Cynthia Banks, executive director and CEO of GlobaLinks Learning Abroad. “Our goal with the webinar series is to deliver helpful information in a format that is much easier to digest than education-by-internet research, which can be overwhelming.”
 
The information sessions include members of the GlobaLinks Learning Abroad internship team and special guests from company’s overseas offices. Specific webinars and dates include:

#1 “More Than Just a Placement”
#2 “Guiding Students Through the Internship Application Process”

#4 “Assessing the Experience: Academic Credit and Internships” – March 21st.

“These webinars go beyond merely describing our programs to truly educating the international education advisors on what their students should expect from a best-in-class international internship experience and how they can maximize the benefits,” said Barbara M. West, assistant director, internship programs. “With the online presentations, we are taking the knowledge we gain from our daily work in the internships abroad field and sharing it with advisors so they can make the best possible decisions for their students.”
