For Participants
Although participants are responsible for securing their own internships, the Program uses its reputation and extensive network of contacts to assist students in obtaining internships. The Sanford Institute’s International Career Advisor works with accepted program participants to define internship goals, review cover letters, resumes and writing samples, facilitate application submission, and prepare participants for their internships.
