The friendly IL team will be on the ground throughout the whole internship period and will provide assistance to both you and the company.

You'll also have the opportunity to meet other Travellers volunteers who are on our different programmes in Auckland. There are usually around 20 interns on the internships programmes at the same time, hailing from Europe and other countries.
