Virtual Intern And Employee
Kickstart Your Career with Our Virtual Internship Program.”
Now that you’re probably becoming a little more used to studying at home, why not try a virtual internship?
Traditional in-person internships are no longer a viable option for most students, since the introduction of lockdown. As a result, virtual internships are growing in popularity as a great alternative since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
But what is a virtual internship? Which companies are offering them? Are they as highly regarded as in-person internships by employers?
What is a virtual internship?
A virtual internship is a work experience placement that students can do from home. During the internship, students communicate with their employer through a range of resources, including Skype, Microsoft Teams, email, webinars, and Slack.
Virtual internships (sometimes called remote internships) will look great on your resume and will give you some valuable work experience, which you can draw from when applying and interviewing for graduate roles.
“Virtual internships are for anyone and everyone,” commented Holroyd Pearce.
They offer students who are unable to complete a traditional internship “the opportunity to gain valuable employability skills.”
Here are a few other benefits of a remote internship:
-
Save money and time: Unlike traditional internships, you won’t be expected to commute, and you can work from anywhere in the world, meaning you save money on rent and travel costs.
-
Enhance your resume: Working from home will improve your time management and self-discipline while you gain work experience.
-
Broaden your cross-cultural and global perspectives: If you’re working for an international firm you will network with people all around the world.
-
Gain a sense of community and boost your connections: You’ll do this through online coffee breaks and weekly drop-in sessions
