The Summer 2023 Iacocca International Internship Program (IIIP) Application is open September 1, 2022.
Internships offered across all disciplines and in all regions of the world. All Lehigh students are welcome to apply. Students work for appproximately 30 hours per week at a global host organization for a duration of 6-10 weeks between May and August. The types of internships vary widely year-to-year; to understand the various types of past internships, review Student Reports below and watch the 2022 Student Video.
Internships are mostly-funded. This means that major costs of the program, including airfare, housing, local transportation and most meals, are covered. IIIP also covers program administration fees when travel is possible. The funding does not cover passport or visa fees, immunizations, optional excursions, or personal expenses. Interns also receive a modest stipend to offset the loss of wages during the internship period.
The Iacocca International Internship Program (IIIP) is distinctive. Students participate in a global internship and receive support to overcome challenges, make the most of the opportunity, and enhance their career readiness and intercultural competence. The IIIP team works with students before, during, and after the internship through the iiPATH curriculum. The Prepare phase of this curriculum prepares students for success in their internships and requires students to commit to approximately five hours of outside work and meetings per month over the course of the spring semester. Students who will not be on campus for the spring 2023 semester (for any reason) are not eligible for a Summer 2023 Iacocca Internship.

To date, 700 students have interned in 58 countries in a variety of placements.

Since 2011, IIIP has provided mostly funded internship opportunities for Lehigh students to work or do research overseas during the summer.
