UO INTERVIEW + ACCEPTANCE

Once you’ve applied, you will receive an interview request with a GlobalWorks program coordinator at the UO. If offered acceptance, you will then confirm your acceptance by signing a deposit agreement form. Although we guarantee placement in students’ preferred location and sector, students don’t know their specific placement when they sign the deposit and cancelation agreement.

3

INTERNSHIP INTERVIEWS*

 Next, you’ll interview with the internship provider and complete a brief form on the provider’s website. The goal of the interview with the provider is to give them a sense of your interests and career goals so they can place you with the company that will provide the best fit. You will then interview with host companies that the provider has matched you with. You usually don’t get to choose a company from multiple choices; you will interview with one at a time. The majority of students will have at most two interviews before being placed.

4

INTERNSHIP PLACEMENT

You will be notified of your final internship placement! This process takes about 6-10 weeks.

5

PRE-DEPARTURE

Once you’ve been accepted and placed, we will work with you to get visas (if necessary). You will also need to schedule health evaluation appointments. You can now make travel arrangements, attend orientation, and submit required pre-departure forms by the UO and the provider. You don’t need to register for the two required courses (we will register you).

So… Are you ready to intern abroad?!
