Global Career Launch
Gain the skills and international experience to build your career.
Global Career Launch is a unique opportunity for university students to immerse themselves in the culture and customs of the United States, improve their English language abilities, and acquire the real-world skills and experience that enhance their career prospects.
Students enjoy first-hand all that the American experience has to offer, while preparing themselves for professional careers through eight week internships that can be tailored to meet individual skill sets and interests.
GCL puts participating students on the path toward rewarding careers with short-term professional internship placements in one of three major U.S. cities: Chicago, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.
It offers flexibility in its length of stay, its array of internship and professional opportunities, as well as the opportunity to receive academic credit from your university.
Since 2007, the Global Career Launch program has provided more than 350 international students with professional internship and cultural experiences in the United States.

Find the Cultural Vistas programs that are right for you.
This internship program taught me to adapt to a new and unfamiliar environment with culture totally different from my home country. And I got a good knowledge about the work and life environment in the United States. I believe this experience will bring me a better opportunity in finding a job after graduation. I really appreciate this program.
