Virtual Internships for English Language Students | Gain Global Experience with EC English

Unleash Your Global Potential: Explore Virtual Internship Opportunities

A virtual internship and a remote internship are essentially the same thing, just with different names. As with in-person internships, virtual internships provide you with the opportunity to gain real-world professional experience in your desired career field, which will set you apart from the competition.

The key advantage of a virtual internship, however, is that it allows you to work remotely for one of our 12,000 approved host companies located in over 70 countries. This means that you not only gain valuable professional experience but also exposure to an international company and the chance to work with people from diverse cultures.
