Internship abroad in Asia

“Why is an internship abroad worthwhile?”

On the one hand, it is of course obvious that you can gain professional experience in your internship abroad and thus prepare yourself well for your studies or your training or test, expand and deepen your existing knowledge in practice. In many courses, for example, a compulsory internship is also required, which you can complete with RGV abroad!

The soft skills that you can acquire during an internship abroad are just as important as your practical skills. You will learn to adapt to unfamiliar living conditions and everyday working life that are new to you, thereby training your flexibility, independence and openness. You will also expand your intercultural skills, which can have a positive impact on your personal development. Because you are fully involved in everyday work and have a lot of contact with the locals, you can also significantly improve your language skills (usually English), which is incredibly important in today's globalized world.

If you choose an internship abroad in Asia, it can happen that you have to learn to get along with simpler means. Social work in particular can present you with new challenges every day, which are often rather unexpected and unpredictable. You can grow with it and acquire great flexibility.
