Why Virtual Overseas Internship?
Having internship at a company in a foreign country is a great advantage on your job application. According to the survey by National Association of Colleges and Employers in 2021, it found that internship experience is the most important attribute that employers look for when evaluating graduates to hire.
However, the ability to relocate or travel abroad is only accessible due to consideration of cost, limited time, government and immigration policies. Nevertheless, virtual overseas internships can overcome the challenges mentioned above.
