Internship abroad - Practical studies and internship
The content on this page was translated automatically.
Those who know how to orient themselves internationally during their training and studies acquire more than just "colorful dots" on their CV. An internship abroad can be helpful in terms of career strategy, as employers are increasingly active in international contexts. The ability to assess social conditions and to evaluate the function and development of social work in different countries is a basis for being able to better understand and classify the conditions in your own country. However, not only training but also educational aspects play an important role. Engaging with foreign languages, cultures, self-images and (welfare) traditions, living and working with and in them instead of getting to know them from a non-binding vacation perspective, is the basis for acquiring intercultural competence, the importance of which for the development of one's own personality cannot be overestimated.
Important note:
Be critical when dealing with internship placement organizations that offer internships for a fee. Please seek advice from the BPS office beforehand.
