Since 1971, ICE has placed more than sixteen thousand (16,000) United States college and university students in work/internship positions throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.  ICE program participants have worked in automotive plants in Germany, schools in China, supermarkets in Japan, and in Aboriginal communities in Australia, for example.

Students commonly do their internships during the summer, but we can schedule them when you want to travel and work abroad.  Internships last a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the position.
