EF Education First is excited to offer an intern and Cooperative Education (co-op) program in partnership with a student’s college or university, giving students the opportunity to align their academic and future career goals with full time or part time work experience for a select period of time.

EF offers a multitude of part-time and full-time, 4-6-month internships or co-ops starting in January or Summer, across our travel, language, and education businesses in sales, customer service, operations, finance, and marketing.
