We can help current undergraduate students with questions regarding searching and applying for internships abroad, program options (through UW, independent, or with the help of a placement provider program), getting credit, insurance, visas, funding, and opportunities available through IIP.

Before an initial meeting go through the first short section of our workbook – the Internship Questionnaire. This will start you thinking about your interests and goals. We also recommend visiting your Career Services office to work on your resume for applications.

Getting Started Video

The IIP Getting Started Video will walk you through the steps for getting started to search for an international internship. It explains how to effectively use the IIP database, discuss other strategies for finding internships, and talk about earning course credit and applying for scholarships. This is highly recommended before coming for advising and is available to watch online.

By Appointment

We are available in the summer and during the semesters for appointments! You can request a 15 or 30 minute appointment with advisor Barbara Jedele here. Please include your Campus ID and reason with the request. You are also welcome to request a Skype (uw-iip) or phone appointment if you are not on campus.

By E-mail

Have a quick question or a follow up to a meeting? Feel free to
e-mail us at internships@international.wisc.edu (Please use your wisc.edu e-mail!)

Meet the Advisors: See bios of Barbara Jedele, Carly Stingl and Michelle Kern Hall on our Contacts Page.

Note: Graduating seniors may be better served by other advising resources on campus so we may also refer you elsewhere depending on your interests!
