workplace. Many graduates are interested in traveling with a purpose,
and want to do something meaningful with their time. International
volunteer organization Projects Abroad
offers a variety of internships in several disciplines that give
graduates a worthwhile experience abroad for the summer while also
enhancing their resumes.

Journalism interns can choose to work on a print journalism internship with an international newspaper or magazine, or on a broadcast internship, where interns work with a radio or TV station abroad. During the Print Journalism placements, interns not only get an insider's view of how publications are run, but they also compile an impressive portfolio to take home. In Broadcast internships, interns are provided with an array of clips, as well as a host of broadcasting and production experience. Internships are offered to practicing journalists, as well students studying, or planning on studying, journalism in college.

Veterinary Medicine and Animal Care
Interns with a passion for working with animals, either in the field of veterinary medicine or in a more general animal-oriented role should consider Projects Abroad's Veterinary Internship opportunities, as they're an ideal way to gain knowledge and put skills to practice in the developing world. Interns will see cases that have been virtually eliminated in the developed world, and will develop a better understanding of the problems people are faced with in their host country.

Projects
Abroad was founded in 1992 by Dr. Peter Slowe, a geography professor,
as a program for students to travel and work while on break from
full-time study. The program had its genesis in post-USSR Romania, where
students were given the chance to teach conversational English. After a
few years just sending volunteers to Eastern Europe for teaching, the
company expanded to sending volunteers of all ages around the world on a
wide range of projects.
