International Internship Program Process
​​The Process is the Same for Both Locations
​
A curated internship based on your skills and interests will be developed with an employer in your desired location. You will have employer supervision and GCC mentorship throughout the program.
​
You will apply through ETSU and must be accepted by the University to participate in the program.
​
GCC will send you a welcome email asking you to fill out a pre-placement questionnaire, including resume upload. The welcome email will also include a prompt to schedule a
pre-placement meeting.
​
The pre-placement meeting is an opportunity for GCC to learn more about your background and career or academic goals as well as provide context for us to source international internship opportunities.
​
After this meeting, you will reconfirm your commitment to participate in the program and GCC will then begin the placement process.
​
Our placement process is highly personalized to you. We conduct employer outreach on your behalf based on the information you provide us. We do not pre-source placements.
