Internship abroad in Remote during COVID
In the recent year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote working has become very popular. In addition, with the reduction of international mobility, nowadays many schools allow their students to do internships abroad while telecommuting. Remote internship offers are becoming more and more frequent, especially in the fields of business, marketing, and communication. During this period of uncertainty, finding a remote internship in a company based abroad can be a great solution for students.
To do this type of internship, however, it is necessary to have a computer, a fast internet connection and a good knowledge of computer tools. To stay in touch with an internship tutor, a team, or others, each student must be comfortable with communication tools such as Skype, Teams, Zoom, etc.
There are many advantages of doing a remote international internship. First, financially, it allows students to avoid some costs, such as living expenses or travel costs in their new host city. To add, being in contact with co-workers allows practicing and improving language level in a professional environment. Also, staying at home can help avoid many stressful moments such as finding a place to live or a roommate, the stress of landing in a new city, etc. With this new way of working, an intern can gain more time in his/her day by avoiding the commuting time and will be more productive throughout his/her day.
Such an international remote internship allows a student to gain autonomy, maturity, and a sense of responsibility, especially in a professional environment.
On the other hand, this kind of internship will require motivation and commitment on the part of the student because he or she will be working alone in a setting that is not a company’s office.
