Internship / Professional Practicum Program
For high-intermediate English language speakers seeking job opportunities in the U.S. or internationally
The Internship / Professional Practicum Program offers those who have achieved at least high-intermediate English language proficiency the opportunity to gain professional experience, improve cultural understanding, and develop language proficiency in the U.S. workplace.
Many students at the English Center have had professional experience or training in their native countries and are eager to gain experiential training in an U.S. professional environment.
