Internship Placement Program

The IAESTE Internship Placement Program matches U.S. university students majoring in technical fields with paid internships abroad. Positions are available in industry, research institutes and universities, consulting firms, labs, and other work environments. Most placements are for 8-12 weeks during the summer, but fall and longer-term placements are also available. Best of all, most technical students in the United States are eligible to apply!

The online application for the 2010 program year opens October 1, 2010 and closes January 11, 2011. If you have an existing account with IAESTE United States, you should log in at the Applicant/Alumni Login Page with your user name and password.
