Students take the lead in obtaining internships, with support from the Wharton School and the Lauder Institute. Over the years, Lauder students have held Executive Internships in 38 countries. A French participant in the Portuguese program designed a financial model for J.P. Morgan in Brazil. A Swedish-born student worked in sales and trading of international equities for the then Deutsche Bank A.G. in Munich, Germany. Students live and work in a country for 12 weeks, learning to apply their expertise in meaningful positions.
Companies benefit from the advanced management and language skills the students bring.
Often, internships lead to offers of permanent employment following graduation.
