career eXplorationan api international internship will set participants on the path towards personal and professional excellence. Whether the goal is to climb the corporate ladder, create a start-up, work in public service, or explore any of the other career paths available, each participant will benefit by having a variety experiences to help discover and shape their interests and passions.

participants will have access to a wealth of information to help them take charge of planning for their professional future through our pre-departure orientation materials and resources, our exclusive career navigation briefcase, and our on-site Workplace and culture orientation.

selF-discoVeryone of the best outcomes from spending time interning abroad is the opportunity for personal development. understanding one’s unique passions, interests, character, and natural abilities can help save valuable time and money as they begin their professional career. by stepping outside one’s comfort zone and into new surroundings, participants will have the chance for self-reflection and the opportunity to unlock abilities that they never realized they had.

academic credit and transcript api’s fixed date internships offer participants the option to earn academic credit (for an additional fee). participants may petition their home university for academic credit for work completed on a flex date internship.

upon completion of a fixed-date internship, an official transcript from an accredited u.s. university is sent to the student’s home institution if they’ve requested a transcript and paid the additional fee. prior to beginning their internship program, api encourages students to discuss academic credit options with home school advisors to determine if and how credits may be earned. academic credit for internships must be approved and arranged before the internship begins as credit typically cannot be retroactively arranged.

alumni network and proFessional deVelopment opportunities returning participants have the opportunity to apply to join the api alumni network and share their knowledge and expertise with future api interns. participants are also encouraged to join our alumni groups on facebook and linkedin for additional post-program networking opportunities and resources.
