IE3 Global collaborates with ABROADER to provide high-quality, personalized virtual internship opportunities for students in a range of professional disciplines in Vietnam. Options are available in private enterprise, public organizations, and not-for-profits primarily based in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Through personal contact and hands-on student engagement, ABROADER matches students with an organization where they can learn and make a valuable contribution.

ABROADER matches students with internships based on industry interest, professional and academic experience, and regional preference. ABROADER has professional opportunities in agriculture, business, finance, consulting, education, engineering, hospitality, law, medicine, and more.

Appropriate internship opportunities are identified based on students’ interests and skills, and ABROADER works to provide a high level of support for successful applicants. Interns will gain knowledge about Vietnam and its distinctive role in regional and global affairs.

ABROADER has been developing a network of companies and organizations across Vietnam in order to provide internships to international students interested in agriculture, business, finance, consulting, education, engineering, hospitality, law, medicine, and more. ABROADER works with each student to determine an individualized placement that meets each student’s professional and academic interests and skills.

Vietnam’s strategic location in SE Asia and as a transport hub between the Pacific and Indian oceans has helped it to increasingly attract international investments and business, but local human resource law and legislature has struggled to meet industry demand. Internships within firms in Vietnam will provide students with a first-hand look at agriculture, business, finance, consulting, education, engineering, hospitality, law, medicine, and more.
