In addition, there are three programs that are not affiliated with Princeton that enable you to work abroad. Without a work permit, working in Britain or Australia is illegal. For a fee, the program processes your papers, provides you with lists of potential employers, provides an on-site orientation, and gives you a discount on your lodgings for your first few nights, among other things. The Council on International Educational Exchange has a Work Exchanges Department that operates reciprocal short-term work programs with seven different countries. For further information, pick up the Work Abroad brochure in Career Services or check the CIEE Web site.
Some placements require commitments of six months or a full semester.
Some colleges and universities that offer study abroad programs with an internship component during the academic year also offer internships for academic credit in the summer. They charge a substantial fee for these programs. The benefit is that you will likely have an intellectually challenging job. Princeton does not give credit for summer internships, so you will not be able to use the academic credit that might be offered. Through the recently created International Internship Program, Princeton is now offering guidance to students who are interested in summer internships abroad.
