IAU
IAU's 6-week virtual program will draw on IAU's expertise in experiential-based learning while taking advantage of a wide network of professional contacts in France, Spain, Morocco, and beyond. Students will choose from academic courses, global internships, consulting projects, and social impact practicums to customize their summer virtual experience. These experiences include:
* Global Internships - This experience is designed to immerse students in a multicultural professional space through virtual means. This hands-on internship experience is complemented by an academic component, which guides students through the experience and helps them strategically reflect on challenges, accomplishments, and personal and professional development. Students are intentionally placed in an internship based on interests and skill sets in organizations in France, Spain, and other European countries with the aim to build their professional network through industry-specific training.
* Consulting Projects - In this course, students apply the core elements of organizational consulting to real-life scenarios across a variety of industries. A large part of the course contains an industry-specific consulting project led by a professor in partnership with international organizations, where students work in groups to create a solution to present to the organization through a virtual professional presentation.
* Social Impact Practicums - Experiential Learning Projects - The Virtual Social Impact Practicums: Experiential Learning Projects are humanities-based internships which are academic courses that have an experiential learning project component. These project-based courses are offered within specific academic fields where students apply the skills they have learned to real-world problems and scenarios in partnership with international organizations and IAU community partners.
