Go Global Student-initiated International Internship Award<\/strong>
\nValue:<\/strong> Ten (10) awards of $2000 will be awarded for Summer 2015 on a competitive basis.
\nApplication deadline: March 24, 2015<\/strong>
\nInternships formally integrate academic learning with career development through work experience and help students\u2019 to expand their knowledge, skills, and professional network. The Go Global International Internship Awards support UBC students undertaking international internships where the experience will have significant added value to their academic studies and career development.
\nThese awards are administered by Go Global as part of the International Learning Awards, and are intended to partially fund the travel and living costs associated with undertaking an internship abroad.<\/p>\n

Definition of an internship:<\/strong> For the purposes of the award, an internship is defined as a short-term (approx. 6 \u2013 16 weeks) experience in a workplace setting that supports and enriches the student\u2019s academic studies and career goals. The internship may be part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid. The internship may include a combination of professional observation, training, business\/program development tasks, and research. The internship may not<\/strong> be purely service-based, nor primarily academic research. The internship may not<\/strong> be part of a Faculty Co-op program. Preference will be given to students undertaking full-time (25 \u2013 40 hours\/week), unpaid internships.<\/em><\/p>\n
