Internships in Cairns, Australia

Good program administration. From pre-departure advising, orientation, and support services, IGS covered everything smoothly. Dr. Adams guided me every step of the way. She even assured my mom as to my own safety and updated her almost every day. As to the internship program itself, the staff at the park are very friendly and accommodating to me. I had beers with them and even attended their Christmas party! Glad to be part of the team. And I look forward to coming back.

Thank you, IGS, for the great summer I had. Definitely one for the books. We did a lot of hiking tours. We have seen diff bird, woodlands, and reptiles exhibits. I didn't know this side of Australia and I am happy to discover it. For our internship, I joined with my friends, and we had lots of fun. We fed the animals and we were taught how to bathe them, and care for them. Aside from the learnings, what I am most grateful for is the bonding we had - me and my friends. We are all into wildlife and animal stuff, so we are glad to have this internship.

I am a fan of crocodiles ever since I was a kid, founding them very interesting. With this I aspire to be a crocodile scientist someday. I remember drawing crocodiles on our schoolboards using chalks, and being scolded by teachers for it. This internship made me realize that I can do it. Animal science/marine science has a lot to offer. It's a chance to mix profession and passion. I loved every single moment of it.

As an IT student, this internship was perfect for me. I get to learn more about computer systems from a different country, and get to travel also! It was hitting two birds with one stone. This was my first time to leave my country; hence, I was nervous to go at first. Yet, IGS assured me that I am well taken care of, and that they will help me attain my fullest potential. IGS fulfilled their promise, and I thank them for that.

Well, I was an intern on the second track, where we worked for smaller professional organizations, and I was assigned to an organization that caters to ecotourism and environmental conservation. We are assigned to their IT department and assisted them in all the functions that allow them to effectually communicate with their clients. My desired country for this internship was Hawaii, and it was fulfilled!!!! I wish I could go on an internship again, but in a different country next time. Looking forward to it! Please accept me again, IGS :)

Information Systems, Technology, Computer Science, and Business are my main fields of interest. In my recently-concluded internship with IGS, I acquired valuable real-world experiences, not just book theories.. IGS realy prepared us 4 the actual practice of IT, considering that we also received a Letter of Recommendation upon successful program completion. Thank you very much, IGS. I am eternally grateful.

During my IGS internship, we learned about computer softwares and hardwares – my main interests and passions! I also acquired additional knowledge on data constructs and communication strategies - great additions to my stock knowledge. I was under the first track for the interns and we solved the IT needs of large businesses and firms. It was challenging at the start but I liked that we survived it anyway. My inner computer nerd was jumping for joy!

Working with Mr. Smith was the most remarkable experience for me. I never knew my dream to be an associate of a top robotics firm would come true! The housing, setup, airport pickup, pre-trip reader, and office support are all provided by IGS, which makes our lives hassle-free. All we need to think about is how to enjoy and learn from our internship.

The coolest part of working at the Virtual Reality Studio is the amount of responsibility I am given. From Day One they trained me to be a Game Master. I do the same job that the owner of the company does. First I introduce clients to the rules of the game and how the equipment works. Then comes the neat part. I monitor the mainframe computer when the participants are playing. On my screen, I see what the players see. If the players are on Mars and they can’t find a tool they need, I give them a hint. My job is to keep the game moving along and allow the players to feel challenge, but give tips when they are frustrated.
