IIE is excited to announce a collaboration with ISEP on GET™, an IIE initiative which connects international students and young professionals with unique research and internship opportunities offered through IIE’s network of partners in the United States. ISEP, an educational network with more than 300 university members spread across 56 countries, shares a mission well-aligned with IIE’s. Since 1979, ISEP has helped students all over the world overcome financial and academic challenges in order to study abroad.  

Through hands-on training in a variety of fields, GET participants create connections and develop distinguished skill sets while working alongside professionals in their fields. IIE is thrilled to collaborate with ISEP and expects that more students will have access to GET opportunities as a result of our joint work. GET will offer five unique opportunities in the U.S. this spring 2017 exploring topics ranging from air quality and pollution management to industrial safety and risk management. GET expects to offer additional opportunities during summer 2017.  IIE is proud to have ISEP promote these opportunities among their network of students and institutions across the world.  

GET welcomed five participants this fall 2016 for political science internships implemented by the University of Akron and focused on the U.S. Presidential election campaigns. To learn more about GET, visit IIE’s website here or ISEP’s GET website here.
