Internships in Santa Clara, Costa Rica

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.

My IGS mentor was very helpful to me. She always checked up on me and was really concerned about what I could learn in my internship. She was also very cheerful and accommodating. Even though I am introvert in an entirely different country, I never felt like I was alone. Thank you very much, IGS, for providing outstanding mentors. My fellow interns and I did both on-air and behind-the-scene positions that are great additions to our résumés. This is especially helpful to me, as I consider working in the field of Marketing in the near future. They even assured me that I will receive a Letter of Recommendation upon successful program completion. Yay!

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.

IM SO HAPPY I TOOK THIS INTERNSHIP HUHU As a multimedia intern, I am glad to learn new production techniques using the latest editing softwares and methods. Usually, the latest softwares come at a very expensive price; but here, I learned it FOR FREE! We were also able to work with a team of respected media experts. They gave us career advising, which really inspired me to do better and be just like them in the future :)

My favourite part of the internship is developing rapport with my co-interns,, I broadened my global network, experienced field filming, and at the same time enjoyed and went on trips in our host city,, I will remember it for the rest of my life, for sure,,

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.

Honestly, I’ve been interested in working closely with leading producers and on-air talents, and this is the best fit for me! My experience in film and editing was helpful, but my other colleagues who were not that experienced still had a great time. There are so many multimedia opportunities provided to us. Thank you, IGS!

I am grateful for IGS that I gained hands-on experience in the news and entertainment industry. I particularly enjoyed doing backstory research – it sparks up my creativity by crafting history for characters and plots!

I compose my own music and really wanted to work in a sound studio to learn more about the craft. IGS helped locate one of the premier sound editing studios in Sydney. Top artists from around the county come here to create musical scores for movies, documentaries, commercials and their own private gigs. They got me my own studio space to work on my sound. And, I am able to assist other producers on some really exciting projects. Learning on the latest equipment and seeing how professionals organize their music will really help me for the future. The director of the studio even had me and my cousin over for dinner. These guys are real pros.

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.
