What is a Virtual Internship?

Virtual internships (also known as remote internships or online internships) are steadily growing in popularity globally.

A virtual internship is a placement where an intern gains professional experience and training while not physically present at the company location.

All communication between the intern and company is carried out via online platforms such as phone, email, Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom, webinars, Google Hangouts and various other communication & project management programs.

Virtual internships may not suit all industries (e.g. hospitality), but with modern working techniques, improved technology, and the correct training structure, they can be beneficially executed in a wide range of fields;

  • Administration
  • Engineering
  • Event Management
  • Fashion
  • Film & Media
  • Finance / Accounting
  • Graphic / Web Design
  • Human Resources
  • Information Technology
  • Journalism / Communications
  • Law
  • Logistics
  • Marketing / Online
  • Marketing / Social Media
  • Public Relations
  • Software Development
  • Tourism
