At Virtual Internships, we are dedicated to breaking the cycle of needing experience to get a job by making internships globally accessible for all. We offer diverse learners, including graduates, first-generation students, individuals with refugee backgrounds, and women returners, with real-world work experience in their chosen industry and region. In partnership with educational providers and governments from 50+ countries, we facilitate for-credit internship programs that blend seamlessly with academic commitments. We do this by connecting with growing businesses with remote interns from top universities worldwide, allowing employers to hire emerging talent and steamline their future talent pipeline. Our extensive network includes 15,000+ companies across 80+ countries, ranging from multinational corporations to innovative startups in various sectors.

We offer educational experiences in the real world. We curate high-standard itineraries for teachers and plan & monitor every detail of the adventure; the activities, accommodation, food, transportation, guides and health & safety standards, all according to your students’ specific needs. The Learning Adventure co-ordinates everything for you whilst considering your learning goals. We believe that experiencing different places, cultures & societies broadens horizons and expands world views. During your students’ adventures with us, we will show them the beauty in places and people that are culturally different to them, how to communicate respectfully and on a deeper level with the people they encounter and, ultimately, to grow as global citizens who will in turn make the world we love and cherish a better place for everybody. We audit, research, and fully understand everything that goes into your adventure before we present it to you. Our staff are regularly in the field making sure what you see on paper is exactly what your students experience. Our people on the ground work very closely with the office staff members who you communicate with. We cover a large number of destinations within Asia and Europe and we are expanding our list of destinations each year.
