Virtual Internships

Summer Virtual Internships

Virtual internships allow you to jump-start your career with relevant and valuable work experience in a global environment. They also allow you to develop new global networks of professionals in your desired industry. Working remotely, students will have the flexibility to work with an organization located in a specific international location or work in their preferred internship sector anywhere in the world.

Many companies already conduct work through geographically dispersed teams around the globe. Having experience in this virtual work environment will give you valuable skills necessary to be successful after graduating from the UO.
