Identifying what you gained from your internship and learning how to explain it to potential employers is a critical step. While you may think the benefits of an international internship are self-evident, you will probably have to articulate them for someone else.

The resources provided below should help give you some key words and an opportunity to reflect on all that you have gained in your internship. Look also to your journal and your own words as you faced challenges and found solutions.

The website What's Up With Culture also provides a short module on re-entry, outcome assessment, and communicating your skills to employers. Don't forget to look in your IE3 Global Internships Handbook, where you can also find several of these exercises!
