SUMMER 2025 INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIPS FOR ILLINOIS STUDENTS

Sage Corps is not an average 9-5 internship experience. During this 8-week program, you’ll work full-time at a startup to build real solutions to real problems. 

Choose from 7 international cities including locations like Paris and Sydney or complete a remote internship from home. We design our programs to teach students valuable skills for trending jobs. First, students complete hard skill training modules as part of our Sage Corps Skills Academy. Next, students intern at global startups where they gain real world experience, either in-person with a cohort (or remotely from home). 

Upon arrival you will attend an orientation with your cohort and Sage Corps City Manager. Throughout  the program, you’ll attend cultural activities to immerse you in the local community. You can learn more about each of our Summer 2025 locations below.

"I really loved that I was able to go abroad and got to work with people from Berlin. A lot of my friends who went on a study abroad found that they had issues meeting locals and that they stuck mostly with the other American students. It was great to have to work and talk to the people from the area and get to know them.”
