Opportunities: Haifa University Study Abroad
The Internship Program in the International School features directed work-study experiences related to the academic or vocational interests of the student. The program provides the students an opportunity for an on-site experience in an organization or institution in the city of Haifa. The program is coordinated by a faculty member of the International School along with on-site supervisors who hold academic or professional credentials.
Students who choose to enroll in the Internship Program are required to work 15 hours a week at their chosen facility. They need to complete weekly internship reports to be submitted to the Internship Coordinator in the International School. At the end of the semester, students write an extensive academic paper addressing one of the issues they dealt with in their internship. Examples of past internships include work in the Carmel Hospital, Haifa Women's Crisis Shelter, Gan HaYeled (special education pre-school facility), archaeological excavations and numerous organizations in Haifa that work with promoting Arab-Jewish relations. Some organizations or institutions may require proficiency in Hebrew or other languages. The Internship Program awards four academic credits.
