International Students Meet Your New Career Pal: Interstride!

Attention international students, because this one’s for you!

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed looking for internships or full-time roles as an international student, Interstride might become your new best friend. It’s a career platform built specifically with global students in mind, and it makes the job search way less stressful. Once you log in with your Bentley credentials, you get access to job postings ranging from internships all the way to professional roles with several years of experience. The best part? Interstride shows whether a company has hired or sponsored international students before. No more guessing. No more wasting time spending hours applying to companies that end up saying ‘sorry, we don’t sponsor’. 

Interstride isn’t just about jobs, it simplifies all the confusions around Visas too. Things like CPT, OPT, and H-1B are explained in a way that actually makes sense, and you can even explore country guides if you’re curious about working somewhere outside the US.

There’s also an events section where you can see upcoming workshops and employer meetups. If you miss one, no worries as Interstride keeps a recording archive so you can watch it later. Add in resume tips, interview resources, and networking advice, and it becomes clear that Interstride is more than a job board, it’s more like a one-stop career toolkit.

If you’re an international student trying to figure out internships, job search, or sponsorship, definitely check it out. It can save you time, stress, and a whole lot of Googling.

So how do you access it? Super easy! Just go through our Career Center page. Once you’re on the site, click Resources, then select Interstride. You’ll see two posters about it, scroll all the way to the bottom and click “View Resources.” Log in with Bentley credentials and boom, you’re in. From there you can start exploring jobs, events, and all the tools Interstride has to offer.
