Program Overview

Spend your summer expanding your business portfolio and broadening your life experience by interning abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital and home to a thriving business sector. Edinburgh hosts key financial services and technology firms and is a major education and tourism center. It’s also the seat of the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government so there are many public sector opportunities alongside a thriving social enterprise sector, which offers a chance to work with purpose-driven businesses. As a result, CIEE Edinburgh offers a wide range of internship opportunities across diverse industries.

When you apply to become a CIEE intern, our staff will work directly with you to match you with an internship opportunity that suits your unique needs and professional goals. While internships are competitive, CIEE will help you navigate the internship interview process to set you up for success. Our staff will offer constructive resume revisions and provide you with the tools to succeed in your interview to ensure you are placed with the right opportunity.
