EdTechReview.in is excited to share the news of University of the People’s (UoPeople) collaboration with Virtual Internships, a global leader in guaranteed internship placements, to offer remote internships to all its students. This partnership is an important step towards bridging the gap between education and employment.
As technology reshapes how people work and learn, remote internships are becoming an increasingly popular solution. This new alliance will offer hands-on experience in a digital landscape, allowing students to acquire practical skills that complement their academic knowledge. It also provides an invaluable opportunity to students facing unique challenges, such as refugees, migrants, disabled students, and those living in remote parts of the world who would otherwise be unable to access in-person internships.
Shai Reshef, President of UoPeople, commented on the collaboration: “This partnership supports UoPeople’s mission to open the gates to higher education to all qualified students around the globe, provide them with quality degree programs, and help them succeed when they graduate. Through virtual internships, UoPeople is providing our students with critical access to real-world experiences and job opportunities that will greatly enhance their online and on-site employability.”
The partnership between UoPeople and Virtual Internships will provide remote internship possibilities for students, allowing them to gain valuable job experience, develop professional networks, and enhance their employability no matter where they are located or what their personal circumstances may be. Remote internships offer students a number of advantages that go far beyond geographical borders.
University of the People offers certificate, associate, and bachelor’s degree programs in business administration, computer science, and health science, as well as MBA, MSIT, and M.Ed. programs. The University also collaborates with Harvard Business School Online, NYU Abu Dhabi, McGill University, and the University of Edinburgh and has been supported by numerous foundations such as the Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Hewlett Foundation.
Daniel Nivern, CEO and co-founder of Virtual Internships, said: “At Virtual Internships, our mission is to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world work experience. We believe that internships should be accessible to every student, regardless of their background, geography, or any other barriers that they may face. We’re thrilled to partner with the University of the People, which shares our values around accessibility and innovation. Together, we aim to close the access gap for high-quality internships, ensuring students are primed and ready for the future job market.”
