United Nations Online Volunteers have some great assignments including article writing and they are based in different countries but completely remote. I would advise to make an account and when you have completed an assignment you get a certificate of completion.

Hi!

These are a few options I know of for getting virtual experience:

Extern has lots of options for “externships” (like internships but not being formally employed for the company)

Forage also has lots for corporate jobs if you’re interested in finance, tech, law etc

Springpod has a few structured virtual work experience programs

Coursera, edX, Udemy etc offer online courses if you just want to learn about a new field

Trackr has a few work experience programs/insight days for pre-uni students - these are mostly in-person but there might be some virtual ones

Some companies also offer work experience programs - so keep an eye out on their career websites


Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions!

Best wishes,
