Your resume will stand out in a crowd with your international internship experience, and the program fee to join an internship will be substantially cheaper! No flights, travel insurance, or accommodation costs are involved in interning in the virtual dimension.

As a remote intern you wont be required to be online all the time when the onsite staff are sitting in their office hours. Our host companies will be more than happy to offer flexible working hours for the intern who cant join them onsite. You will be required to join meetings virtually, finish assigned tasks by a deadline, and communicate with your supervisor from time to time.

Gain familiarity with digital tools
When completing online internships, you will begin to understand which communication platforms that businesses are using to stay connected while not working in an office. Zoom, Slack, Proofhub, Dropbox, Togl, Coschedule, Google Apps, and World Time Buddy are just a few that are utilized by companies on a daily basis. By gaining in the systems your company is using during your time working for them, you will quickly be able to adapt to the same or similar platforms in your future work environment.
Get used to remote working mode which might be a constant phenomenon for the future
Due to the pandemic many
companies have changed their traditional ways of working including making some staff working remotely temporarily or permanently. We cant deny that this might be a trendy phenomenon for all business, sooner or later. By joining a remote internship will certainly make you more ready for this and your future employer will value your flexibility and adaptability.
Placements are project-driven
For many of us, the idea of an internship involves taking coffee and lunch orders for executives, lots of filing and being cooped up in the photocopy room all day. Interning remotely will definitely eliminate the chance of that happening. With remote internships, you can expect the work to be more project-based, which you can chip away at over your internship period. This will look mighty fine on your resume, and will be much easier to articulate and draw upon for real life examples in response to questions in future job interviews.
