Benefits

This is a six-month internship starting in January of 2027. The internship does not provide monetary compensation as SACC-Texas is a non-profit organization.

SACC-USA will assist with the visa application process. To be eligible for a J-1 visa, you must be a Swedish citizen.

This position provides a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience supporting the digital operations of an international business organization, build a professional international network, and collaborate with industry leaders across multiple sectors.

DEADLINE: The application deadline is September 27. Recruitment is conducted on a rolling basis, and early submission is therefore strongly encouraged. Should any positions remain unfilled, a second application round may be opened in October.
