Ever Thought About Hiring International Students? You
Should!
Posted by Jenny Xie on Feb. 28, 2013
This is a guest post by CIEE, a nonprofit, non-governmental international exchange organization.
Smart. Driven.
Enthusiastic. Committed.
Sounds like the qualities
of a perfect intern, right?
Now, if only finding and
hiring the right intern was
as simple as identifying a
few key traits. In reality,
it can be a time-
consuming and expensive
process.
CIEE, the world leader in
international education
and exchange programs,
can help you find and hire
appropriate interns for
your company. CIEE
works directly with the Baltic American Freedom Foundation (BAFF) to pair highly qualified interns
from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia with companies in the U.S.—at no cost to the employers. CIEE
does the work for you—reviewing applications, interviewing candidates, learning about your
organization’s mission, goals, and needs—to place the right intern with your company for six months
or a year. The BAFF Professional Internship scholarship covers the participant’s placement costs,
travel health insurance, airfare, and a monthly stipend for housing, meals, transportation, and a little
extra pocket money.BAFF scholarships are awarded based on a highly competitive application
process. CIEE and BAFF aren’t looking for just another person to fill a position—they’re looking for
the next generation of business and civic leaders. Chosen participants all have a few things in
common: they have enough English language proficiency to easily work alongside their colleagues in
an American business environment; they’re currently pursuing a post-secondary or postgraduate
degree or graduated within six months of applying; they’re leaders who are driven to excel; and
they’re genuinely interested in learning about American culture and sharing their own unique
perspectives.
Hiring an intern from the Baltics—or any international student—is about more than gaining an extra
set of hands around the office. Not only do you help a student gain valuable work experience in the
U.S. that will have a positive impact on their future career, you’re also providing your employees with
the chance to discover new perspectives and knowledge of another country. The ultimate goal of the
program is the help strengthen ties between the U.S. and other countries, furthering CIEE’s mission to
provide transformative experiences that help students, educators, and professionals gain the
knowledge and skills necessary to live and work in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse
world.
Bottom line: the BAFF Professional Internship Program offers employers the ability to hire uniquely
qualified interns that offer far more than just the right skills.
