The benefits of an internship abroad

You have the unique opportunity to gain valuable work experience in your desired industry, which significantly increases your value in the national and international labor market. Of course, an internship abroad also has a very positive effect on your CV. It shows potential employers that they have an understanding of different cultures, are flexible and can empathize with unfamiliar situations.
Another advantage of an internship abroad is that you can improve your foreign language skills in a very short time. Since you are surrounded by the new language for 24 hours, you are practically forced to apply it in everyday life. So you not only improve your general usage, but also learn subject-specific jargon. This is also great for your own career, as you can communicate better with business partners, interact with international colleagues, and easily edit specialized texts in other languages.
Last but not least, an internship abroad also strengthens your personality. They are on their own in a completely foreign country, learning to deal with problems and challenges. At the same time, you also expand your own horizons and learn to look at your own ways of life and thinking from a completely new perspective.
