Each intern may have specific duties for a business that they have been assigned uniquely. We call these specialties “business tracks.” However, there are four broad disciplines that every intern will gain experience in regardless of their business location or track:

• Cross-Cultural Skills
• Business Management
• Interpersonal Relations
• Missiology

Internships typically range from 6 weeks to a full school semester long. In general, we parcel these into Spring, Summer, and Fall internship periods, but internships may be available for other periods upon request.

In general, interns should expect to spend 10 to 20 hours per week working in the business and 10 to 20 hours per week in team meetings, trainings, and ministry activities. For those enrolled at a university, this will allow time for online courses to be taken concurrently. The amount of extracurricular activities and online courses taken should be navigated on an individual basis and explored with your school advisor and onsite host.

These are unpaid internships. However, the total budget will be $3,000-9,000 USD depending on the location. This includes airfare, housing, insurance, meals, visa, transportation, etc.

Students may be able to transfer on-campus housing and food allowances to their internship location similarly to the way a study abroad is handled. Unless an arrangement is already in place at your school, this will need to be explored with your advisor and the internship host.
