Real responsability

Startups are nimble and are consistently changing. You’ll start working and leading projects right from the beginning. Your learning curve will be steep but you will get genuine exposure to how a business is run and built.

Venture building skills

Nowadays employers are seeking candidates with both international and entrepreneurial experience. It’s no surprise therefore that theInterna offers just that. Within a matter of months you will have exposure to the key skills required to start a business and launch new products and ideas.

Target language exposure

Specifically for linguists, it’s key to gain target language exposure on your Year Abroad. Larger organisation will no doubt already have international clients and have English as a core language. Startups give you much more of an opportunity to gain that language exposure.
