8-MONTH PROGRAM: IDP + INTERNSHIP Internship Program Put Your Knowledge to Work Add a 4-month internship program after you successfully complete your 4-Month IDP certificate. An internship not only gives you an opportunity to put your skills, knowledge and experience to practical use but also enables you to learn U.S. business practices and approaches in the most direct way. After completing the internship, you have invaluable experience to include on your résumé. This experience is an advantage when you start a new career, return to your current position or apply to a graduate program. A variety of companies make internships available to IDP students, providing a wide range of opportunities. To give you the most meaningful experience, your internship typically takes place in a small- to medium-size company. Participating companies represent a variety of industries, such as advertising, entertainment, finance and banking, health care, hospitality, international trade, marketing or public relations. Typical tasks in an internship may include creating a global stock presentation, redesigning a company’s website or establishing international contacts to build a client base. 8-Month Program: IDP + Internship 16 extension.berkeley.edu/diploma Term 1 Term 2 4-Month IDP Internship Program Business Administration OR Global Business Management OR Finance OR Marketing OR Project Management 4 Months 8 Months Intern at a U.S. Company 4 Months IDP Internship Companies* • Aaron Marcus and Associates • Bayer HealthCare • California-Asia Business Council • Cannell Capital LLC • Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco • Gracenote • Martin Wolf Securities • Mid-America Overseas Inc. • Opinno • Oscar de la Renta • Pacific Soybean & Grain • Port of Oakland • San Francisco Center for Economic Development • The St. Regis San Francisco • The Westin St. Francis • Timbuk2 • WealthVest Marketing * This is a partial list of internship companies and is subject to change.

“As a business strategy analyst at Timbuk2, my projects included daily sales and operations analysis, financial modeling, forecasting and planning new products, and recommending overall business strategy.” MAYURA SHIRISH DESHMUKH, INDIA MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS TRACK BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, MARKETING Becoming an Intern “IDP and my internship at Timbuk2 enabled me to experience different cultures, people and traditions. It will help me, for sure, in my future—now I know that I can get along with anybody in this world!” ALEJANDRO CARRERAS KELLER, SPAIN MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS TRACK BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, MARKETING You must apply to become an intern while you are participating in one of the 4-Month IDPs. To qualify for an internship, you must meet all of the following requirements: □ have an overall grade point average of 2.5 or higher in your IDP coursework, □ earn a grade of C or higher in all courses in your IDP, □ be a student in good standing throughout the duration of your program. An internship coordinator assists you as you attend an internship orientation, participate in a company fair to meet prospective internship mentors, create a résumé and develop interviewing skills. Securing the internship requires interviewing for the position, just as you would interview for a full-time job. Once you obtain an internship, an internship instructor ensures you meet the program’s academic requirements. In addition, an internship site supervisor monitors your performance and attendance throughout the entire internship experience. Your internship is considered an academic program: You earn academic credit for your participation and maintain your status as a full-time student. “Through my IDP internship experience at the San Francisco Center for Economic Development, I learned best practices to help international businesses succeed in the Bay Area. This has been very helpful in my current job at Opinno, an open innovation network of entrepreneurs, investors and ideas. “I love the fact the I can have a positive impact on IDP students, helping them define their professional paths. It is very important that the interns feel part of the team during the time they are with us, and they always play a main role at Opinno so that they can make the most out of the internship.” TERM 1: WHILE YOU ARE AN IDP STUDENT Internship Steps and Timeline Week 1 Attend internship orientation Week 2 Attend résumé workshop Weeks 2–4 PATRICIA DE LLANO, OPINNO Meet with an internship coordinator to strategize companies; begin research of available companies Week 5 Attend internship company fair Week 6 Register to participate in internship program Week 7 Attend interview workshop Weeks 9–12 Interview at potential company choices Weeks 13–15 Rank internship choices Week 15 Attend internship academic workshop TERM 2: INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Weeks 1–15 Intern at a U.S. company IDP ALUMNA AND INTERNSHIP MENTOR (FAR RIGHT), PICTURED WITH IDP INTERNS extension.berkeley.edu/diploma 17
