International Work, Internship and Volunteer Experience
The 21st century marketplace is global! Students and graduates of all nationalities work in all parts of the world with colleagues from every country, social issues cross borders, technology helps data flow freely, and customers are often on the other side of the planet.
Opportunities abound to pursue work that matches your interests and goals. As your exploration and experience grow, take time to consider the shape of your potential international career. Do you wish to work outside of your home country or perhaps with an organization at home that conducts business in other parts of the world or across cultures?
To prepare for your international career, keep up on the trends in your field, hone global leadership skills, and get hands-on intercultural experience. Working internationally in full-time jobs, internships, and volunteer roles supports your career exploration and development in exciting ways.
Brandeis University and the Hiatt Career Center have a wealth of resources to help you in your global quest, wherever in the world you want to be.

Are You "Back from Abroad?"
Study, internships, and living in another country provide exceptional opportunities for you to acquire the necessary tools to compete in an increasingly global marketplace. The resources in these pages can help you continue to enhance your international perspective. In addition, one of the best ways in which you can integrate your experience with your life back at Brandeis is to meet with a counselor at the Hiatt Career Center who can discuss with you how to incorporate the knowledge and skills you gained into your future career plans.
