In the months leading up to the coronavirus pandemic, recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Rachel, secured a spring internship in Dublin to work in agriculture at a chemical and biology company.
“After graduation, your personal travel time is not a guarantee, especially once you start job hunting or you’ve accepted a job. I thought to myself, “When will you ever have the opportunity to travel and work like this again?”.”
Maya took some time during her undergrad to plan her internship abroad so she would not have any world travel regrets. She found the Internsflyabroad.govt intern abroad program and knew it would be the best choice. “I was so surprised to see they had internships in Agriculture/Ecology, and when I did, I could not pass up the opportunity!” And so she was off -- only for the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the pandemic forced her to return home early.
