Business Internships

Start by exploring your preferred business or management placements and choose one that fits your academic background and goals. Once you’ve chosen a placement, complete the short online application form, and a placement advisor will contact you to guide you through the next steps. You’ll receive support from your first inquiry to your arrival abroad.

Kaya offers a wide range of business internships for students of all specializations. You can gain hands-on experience in areas such as marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, NGO management, or administration. Whether you want to support entrepreneurs, work with social enterprises, assist non-profit organizations, or contribute to sustainable business initiatives, these placements let you apply your studies while making a real impact.

Business internships abroad are usually unpaid because they focus on learning, cultural exchange, and community collaboration rather than paid employment. At Kaya Responsible Travel, we prioritize ethical placements that strengthen local organizations and create long-term impact. While you won’t receive a salary, some programs may include benefits such as accommodation or meals. Most importantly, you’ll gain valuable experience and international exposure that will help your career in the long run.

It’s best to start planning your summer business internship at least 3 to 6 months before your intended start date. This allows enough time to explore available programs, complete your application, secure your placement, and prepare for travel arrangements such as flights and visas if needed.

Some business internships fill up quickly, especially during summer and university break periods, so applying early gives you the best chance to secure your preferred project and destination.

Kaya’s placement team can help you find suitable options based on availability. You can also request a brochure to explore flexible programs and upcoming start dates.

Doing a business internship abroad is a powerful way to grow both professionally and personally. It allows you to apply your classroom knowledge in real-world situations while learning about global markets, sustainable business models, and cross-cultural communication. With Kaya, you’ll contribute to organizations that focus on social impact and ethical development, helping you build a career with purpose.
