Despite the abundance of summer options, career-minded students who aim for success in a global context continue to give top priority to US internships, specifically the CCIP.
CCIP has an impressive alumni network spanning top global firms and graduate schools, making significant contributions to the global community.
CCIP provided me with valuable experience and exposure which led to coveted internships at other organizations and eventually my career in banking. If you desire an enriching internship in the US, then CCIP is where you will find it.
