Beginning Wednesday, July 1 at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, you will not be able to log in or create an account while we transition to our new student portal. Access is expected to be restored by the end of the day on Monday, July 6.
If you have started any forms in your MyIESabroad student portal, please complete and submit them by end of day Tuesday, June 30. Submitted forms will carry over automatically. Any forms that are started but not submitted by June 30 will not transfer—but don't worry, you'll still have access to the same forms in the new portal on July 6.
For more details, please review our student system upgrade information. Want a heads-up when the new portal is live? Fill out our interest form. Thank you for your patience during this transition. We're excited to welcome you into the new portal and continue supporting you every step of the way.

“My advice to incoming IES interns is to be open minded throughout their stay. Do your research on the country but remain open to experiences and cultures that may vary from what you find. Find beauty in the mundane!”Lakeisha G. • University of Louisville • Cape Town Summer – Internship
These placements are not an exhaustive list, so let your IES Internships Representative know if you would like additional examples. Once you confirm to a program, the onsite Internship Coordinator will work with you closely to find an internship placement based on your interests.
What better way to solidify your interest in a particular career field than through an internship? All of our global full-time internship destinations offer placements in a variety of fields from film to finance to health care and more.
