EE Internship
« on: December 17, 2013, 04:04:44 am »
Hello. I am on my third year of college and I'm trying to get a summer EE internship in another country (particularly in the UK). Has anybody made an international internship before? Any advices or experiences to share? :scared:

Tervetuola and huva paivaa is about how far i got.
Uksi kaksi kolme nelja vies hex seitseman, ottaman is counting... I forgot what 9 is...

Nah, english is universal, even in star-trek

IAESTE is a great organisation. They file your work permit, arrange lodging with a local family , organise meet-and-greet. I was paid like a normal worker and they covered my plane ticket.

It is a great experience working abroad.
