EDITO Each year in Europe, more than 300,000 students go abroad for the purpose of studying or doing an internship. Indeed, the current context of globalization leads students to go abroad and work for multinational companies working with various foreign markets. It is therefore important for students to take the plunge, to go abroad in a professional context, to discover new working methods and new know-how, to improve their language skills... And to ease their integration into the world of work. Going and working abroad is a valuable asset for its resume, recruiters really like applicants who have had an experience abroad, this reveal an interesting profile (open-mindedness, rich general knowledge, resourcefulness, multilinguism...) and high motivation, that s what will make the difference! However, going abroad by itself may be very difficult and there are many pitfalls. Finding your dream internship may be more than difficult, it is necessary to find the company that host foreign students, be sure you will not be all day making photocopies and avoid companies which will refuse to host you at the very last minute. Not to mention finding accommodation, which can be quite a hassle: making phone calls throughout the day without results, not being sure of the accommodation safety, making bank transfer in order to book an apartment of an unknown landlord And if something goes wrong no one is able to help. Internship Makers became aware of the many difficulties that may be encountered by students wishing to go abroad (and even discouraging them), that is why we wanted to help them in all their steps. Take it easy, Internship Makers will do everything from your dream internship or your perfect accommodation. Do not stress over!

YO U R E X P E R I E N C E A B RO A D Why doing an internship abroad? The reasons are various : 1) Broaden your resume with a unique professional experience 2) Learn new techniques, new working methods and broaden your knowledge in your business field, all the while enjoying a very unique international experience 3) Put into practice and improve your language skills 4) Acquire a strong intercultural experience : new management practices, new way of thinking... 5) Try and confirm your personal and professional career project 6) Developp an international network of contacts 7) Discover a country and its culture Do I need a VISA? Nationals of the European Union or Schengen do not need a VISA to travel to London, Paris, Madrid or Malta (Only the ID is needed). However, if you need a VISA Internship Makers will be happy to help you all the way and explain procedures. There are a multitude of different visas : Long Stay VISAs for France, J-1 VISAs to the U.S. Tier 4 VISAs to the U.K, Student VISAs to Spain We recommend you to contact the embassy of the chosen destination as soon as possible, in order to get a VISA if necessary. Note that for some countries (ie the United States), the VISA application process can be very long. Consequently make sure you apply early enough (at least 3 months before departure). And what about insurance? It is necessary to have a travel insurance to cover you while doing your internship abroad. Indeed, it is important in case of hospitalization, accident or repatriation, it is better to be safe than sorry because medical expenses abroad can be very expensive! If you have already purchased an annual coverage, as Europ Assistance or Mondial Assistance, it could cover you during 90 days abroad. Otherwise you will need to purchase a travel insurance in order to avoid risks. For nationals of the European Union, you can ask for the European social security card. By providing this card to a public doctor, pharmacist or in a public hospital of the European Union, you will not have to pay your medical expenses in advance.
