Undergraduate Global Internships

Eller maintains partnerships with internship programs around the globe, which gives you the unique chance to work and learn in places ranging from Dublin to Auckland.

All global internships are unpaid, but every placement gives you the chance to gain real-world experience in your field of study, build valuable skills, and make professional connections that will help prepare you for your future career. European locations are ideal for students who want to experience diverse cultures in close proximity and explore Europe’s global business hubs, while non-European locations offer exposure to emerging markets, Asia-Pacific industries, and a different perspective on global business practices.

Why Dublin?

Dublin is a thriving center for business, technology, finance, marketing, and the arts — making it an ideal destination for students looking to gain international experience in a fast-paced, professional setting. As the European headquarters for major companies like Google, Meta, and LinkedIn, as well as home to countless startups and NGOs, Dublin offers unmatched opportunities to grow your career.

You’ll experience Ireland’s welcoming culture and enjoy a work environment that values collaboration, innovation, and a strong work-life balance. Explore the city's rich history, lively music scene, and breathtaking landscapes — all just a short train ride from the city.

Wherever your career takes you, interning abroad in Dublin will help you build valuable skills like adaptability, global communication, and independence — all while forming lasting connections with professionals and fellow students from around the world. It’s more than an internship — it’s your gateway to global success.

Internship Placement

Students will work with the program provider to professionally revise their resume, prepare for interviews, and obtain an internship in the industry of their choice. You will intern part-time at your host organization for 8-weeks and complete 20 hours per week. You will likely intern during standard business hours Mondays-Fridays and your placement may include in-person, remote, and hybrid work depending on the needs of your host organization.

Once you are accepted into the program, you will be assigned a CEA CAPA Career Coach, who will work with you one-on-one to guide you through the steps and deadlines of the Internship Placement Process. They will be your main point of contact for your internship prior to your departure. During the Internship Placement Process, you will engage with an International Internship Coordinator in your host country, and your potential host site supervisor. Your International Internship Coordinator will draw from your application materials to source and match you with a personalized internship placement that best aligns with your unique experience, skills, career interests, and goals for your internship abroad. Please also note, your host site supervisor will retain the final decision of your placement, so it’s important to prepare in advance for your interview with your host site supervisor.

There is no fixed timeline for the placement process, as timing depends on factors such as company decision-making, the number of candidates under consideration, and the number of interviews required. However, every student is guaranteed a meaningful internship that provides valuable professional experience.

Note: Accounting and Finance internships will require candidates to have completed multiple upper division accounting and/or finance courses.
