| by Stephen Diehl
Through an exclusive agreement with the United Nations Children’s Fund, a record number of Institute students are gaining professional experience at the highest levels.
From Nairobi to Tokyo: IPSS and IEM Practicum Internships Announced
44 students are continuing their professional educational development around the world.
For fall 2022, a total of 44 students will participate in our distinguished semester-long experiential learning programs. Students will work around the globe with organizations making a positive impact in various industries while continuing their studies here at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
Domestically, students are working with organizations as close as Monterey, CA, and as far away as Washington DC. Internationally, students are working with organizations in Cambodia, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Honduras, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Mongolia, Peru, Rwanda, Spain, and Sri Lanka.
Two programs are leading the way in giving students the chance to implement what they learn at MIIS around the world.
International Professional Service Semester (IPSS)
The International Professional Service Semester (IPSS) is an experience designed for students in the IPD, IEP, NPTS, and MPA programs. The IPSS experience allows students to apply skills and knowledge gained through their prior coursework in a professional setting. These experiential learning courses serve as stepping-stones to their future careers.
International Education Management (IEM)
The International Education Management (IEM) practicum is focused on gaining practical experience and advanced management skills for students entering the career of international education.
Below is a list of current participants for both programs, their organizations, and their locations:
