The benefits of interning abroad and how to do it

Interning abroad is no doubt regarded as a luxury, something that very few undertake, usually because it’s seen as something only the wealthy or the lucky few can entertain. Understandably this is what most young individuals think when considering interning in a foreign city. During and after university, you are open to lots of opportunities to gain work experience and sometimes those opportunities can arise in countries such Belgium, Amsterdam and even further afield in New York. After speaking with peers in the industry, most said they never took the plunge of gaining experience abroad due to cost, time constraints, administrative complications, or simply being too scared or nervous to take the chance.
