Do you want to earn academic credit for your international internship? Nearly half of World Endeavors participants earn credit while interning abroad. Many students are required to participate in an internship to fulfill a requirement for their degree program. World Endeavors works closely with students and their academic advisors to ensure that our program meets those requirements. If you don’t fall into that category there is another exciting option for you. Through our collaboration with University of California Berkeley, students can earn UC Berkeley credit by taking one of two online courses while interning abroad.
Internships are available year-round, with flexible start dates and durations. Public holidays and seasonal work availability may impact certain start dates in some locations.
Please wait until after you are accepted into the program and you have received the confirmed arrival and departure dates before you book your flight
Please note: generally, the minimum program duration for interning in Morocco is 2 months. Contact World Endeavors if you would like to go for a shorter duration.

World Endeavors interns stay with Moroccan host families, where they share space, build relationships, practice their language skills, and learn about traditional culture, food, home rituals, and customs. Interns are expected to display respect and consideration for the host family. Living with a host family ensures total immersion, which can be both challenging and rewarding, but ultimately provides the most authentic experience of Morocco.
ABOUT RABAT
Located where the mouth of Bou Regreg River meets the Atlantic Ocean, the city of Rabat offers a beautiful seaside climate in a truly picturesque location. Once predominantly a port town, Rabat is now the capital city, popular for tourists looking for a truly authentic and beautiful Moroccan experience. The sun shines throughout the year on the palm-lined boulevards and teal blue beaches. The city itself boasts infrastructure dating back to the 12th century alongside modern skyscrapers and governmental buildings. Stroll through the spice markets, and fall in love with this ancient seaside city.
We strive to provide immersive, life changing, and professionally rewarding programs for our interns. Our programs are designed as a comprehensive “program” instead of just the internship so that we can provide a full experience for our participants. The program fees we charge include the in-country expenses (housing, insurance, orientation, etc.) and also the dedicated work that goes behind finding a customized, one-of-a-kind, international internship placement. You can find more information about the costs and inclusions in the “Dates & Costs” section on this page.
We really wish we could offer paid internships, but all of the internships we coordinate are unpaid placements. Paid internships abroad are few and far-between, as they require a different type of visa that is difficult to attain, and they also require sponsorship by the host company, which is quite costly for them. The goal of our program is to provide meaningful, hands-on experience in your specific profession or field of study that will give you a competitive edge in the job market and make you valuable to employers who are globally minded. If you are seeking a placement to help you gain international experience, improve your skills in your field and enhance your resume, our program provides the perfect opportunity.
Our internships are customized to fit each individual’s goals, interests, and skill level. We consider all of these things and then make a placement accordingly. Therefore, we don’t have specific internships “set aside” waiting for people to fill them. We have placed interns in both small and large companies, but due to confidentiality of our host companies and organizations we are not able to provide a list of companies.
All of our internships are customized, and we work with each intern to make sure we find a placement that fits their specific interests, background, experience, and goals for the internship. Your specific responsibilities during your internship will be determined further in the enrollment process and will depend on your skills and goals for the program.
