About Us

A global network for structured international internships

WIN was founded with a simple goal: to improve how international internships are delivered across borders.

Rather than placing students directly, WIN brings partners together to create structured, high-quality placements that are both academically credible and professionally valuable.

Why WIN Was Created

In many countries, internships form an essential part of higher education. These placements connect academic theory with real-world experience and are often a graduation requirement.

Yet access to structured, internationally recognised internships is limited in many regions, especially when students are unable to travel. WIN was developed to address that gap.

We work to ensure that internships coordinated through our network are:

Educationally Sound

With defined learning outcomes

Professionally Supported

With local guidance throughout

Credible and Portable

Recognised by academic institutions and employers

How We Work

WIN operates through a growing network of trusted international partners. Each partner has a deep understanding of their country's education systems, regulatory frameworks, and employer needs.

Our model allows each internship to be delivered locally while still fitting into a shared international framework. The result is a flexible yet consistent approach that respects both academic requirements and global best practice.

Each national partner is a formal member of WIN and appoints a representative to our international board, ensuring shared governance and equal contribution to the direction of the network.

We focus on:

  • A unified structure that supports diverse delivery formats

  • A shared training model to build core workplace skills

  • Quality assurance and academic alignment across all participating regions

  • Collaborative delivery that puts students and learning outcomes first

Our Mission

WIN exists to open up opportunity. By helping students complete high-quality international internships and supporting host companies to deliver them, we are building a future where work, learning, and connection transcend borders.

A not-for-profit global coordinating body supporting high-quality, structured international internships through a trusted network of partners.
