International Internships

Have you ever dreamed of working in Paris?  Have you ever thought about working in a US embassy in France?  Have you ever considered teaching English to French students?  If yes, now is the time to do an international internship!


International internships are like a study abroad, but on speed.  With an internship you not only get the college credit, the chance to visit major and historical European cities, but you also get to beef up your resume with real life work experience.  The best part about it too is that the French Department wants to send you to do an internship, and are willing to help you along with the process.


The French Department has already sent students to places like Paris, Lille, Marseilles, and Toulouse.  Students have been able to get jobs teaching English, working in French businesses, and serving in the US embassy in Paris.  The department offers internships in fall and winter semesters, as well as during spring and summer terms.  With so many available times to go, pretty much anyone can work it into their schedules.


The French Department is currently accepting applications for their international internship program.  If you are interested you have until February 1st to get your paperwork in.  The man to talk to is Professor LeBras.  His contact info can be found here.  If you have any sort of questions you can also check out the Kennedy Center's website here.


Act now and never regret!  Wait and you will.
