We might be biased, but we think that internships offer a uniquely wonderful opportunity to live and work abroad for a while. It’s a chance to challenge yourself in a foreign environment, immerse yourself in different cultures, and learn how to be adaptable. It’s also a chance to add international work experience to your resume. When it comes to social work and psychology internships, there’s also the fact that you might be able to get a much more in-depth, broad, and hands-on experience than when you’d stay at home. That’s especially the case in Africa, where mental health facilities are scarce, and you are likely to take on an active role as an intern.
