ABOUT EDUCATION INTERNSHIPS ABROAD
Education interns work in primary, secondary, post-secondary and private institutions. The role of an Education intern is to assist local educators by supporting and promoting learning in the classroom and the community. Past interns have taught or co-taught classes as well as assisted with curriculum development, implemented teaching strategies, conducted educational outreach activities in the community, and tutored students and their families. Many interns work in English language education, though interns with a background in a specific field and proficiency in the local language may also work in other subjects.
If you are an Education major and are required to complete a student teaching semester, our Education internship can be customized to meet your university’s requirements.
