iAgora: a new tool to find an internship abroad
Doing an internship abroad is a fantastic opportunity for students. Not only does it allow you to live an exciting experience both from a human and cultural perspective, but also one that can enrich a professional experience and thus enhance a CV, especially for students aiming for an international career.
According to the International Institute of Education, nearly 60% of employers said that international work experience is a significant factor when evaluating candidate profiles.
Why do an internship abroad?
An internship abroad is a unique opportunity to improve your career path with an international experience while becoming a sought-after candidate. It will help you both gain a new perspective and learn more about the industry you are interested in. It will also help you develop your language skills and build your international network which is invaluable when you start looking for your next internship or first job. In fact, according to Erasmus+, 64% of employers believe that international experience is an important aspect in recruitment. An internship abroad is therefore a real asset to stand out!
That is why at ABC Paris, we offer Erasmus grants for internships of more than 2 months in an EU country.
Helping our students find an internship abroad
At ABC Paris, being international is a key component of our DNA and we encourage our students to have multiple professional experiences abroad, particularly through internships during and at the end of their studies. To help them in their search for an internship abroad, our Career & Corporate Relations department offers a range of support and coaching services, as well as internship search tools.
Last year, we launched our internship search platform in partnership with JobTeaser. This year, we are going one step further by offering our students dedicated access to a new platform specialized in the search for internships abroad: iAgora.
iAgora: the perfect way to find an internship abroad
With more than 20 years of experience, iAgora is a platform whose goal is to facilitate experiences abroad: internships, studies, jobs, etc. Thanks to powerful search engines, iAgora scans the Web every day to find and select the best offers. Each day, more than 600 robots analyze over 60,000 job offers. On average, for internships, about 700 new offers are made available daily.
But the advantages of this platform can go even further! In addition to compiling a large number of internship opportunities abroad, iAgora also makes it easy to find offers that correspond to students’ expectations thanks to its algorithms: these are based on the students’ profile and keywords related to their internship search in order to select and match offers with their professional interests. A considerable time saving but also a true springboard for an international professional career!
