New global internship for all students: NC State Global Career Accelerator

IDS is excited to announce a new NC State Global Career Accelerator program for Summer 2025. 

The Global Career Accelerator is an online, experiential learning program that offers students the chance to acquire leadership skills, global knowledge, intercultural competence, and career competencies in tandem with technical training in one of the following areas: digital marketing, data analytics, coding for data, or coding for the web.The program utilizes real-world projects with companies like Intel, L’Oreal, OpenAI, and the Grammys, collaborating with peers from top universities and 50+ countries from around the world.

Program participants will enroll in an NC State Interdisciplinary Studies Internship course (IDS 311). Program completion earns students credits, company-branded project certificates, and badges that students can leverage in the job search. 

The Global Career Accelerator is offered in collaboration with NC State’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHASS) and the academic unit of Interdisciplinary Studies, the Office of Global Engagement and Podium Education. The new program supports NC State’s QEP focused on high-impact experiences and empowers the next generation of global leaders.
