The Global Skills curriculum is based on a fully accredited Intercultural Competence curriculum (designed by academic professionals from Duke University and Hamline University) and has been tailored by Intrax for the unique needs of participants completing internships abroad.

This curriculum features evening seminars and speaker series with the objective of helping participants extract the full value from their internship experience.The business and career-oriented portions of this program are developed and taught by graduates of top MBA programs, such as Stanford, Wharton and the University of Chicago.

Over the course of Global Skills Training you will prepare for the cultural differences in your new host company, learn how to differentiate yourself throughout your internship, hear from international business leaders in your host country, and discuss how to market the new skills you’ve acquired during networking events and job interviews.
