Public Administration & Government Internships in New Zealand

One of my favourite aspects of the programme was the well-organized orientation, which made it easy to settle into a new environment and connect with other interns. The events organized throughout the internship provided great networking opportunities and helped me explore the local culture. Additionally, the ongoing support from the Intern NZ team was exceptional — they were always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in ensuring a positive experience. This internship has been incredibly valuable for my professional growth. I gained hands-on experience in my field, which allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in a real-world setting. I also improved my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Working in an international environment enhanced my cultural awareness and adaptability, which I believe are crucial for my future career.

My favorite aspect of the program was the supportive and helpful people across different departments, including Inwards Goods, Outwards Goods, and the office team. Everyone was willing to extend their help, making my learning experience smoother and more enriching. I also deeply appreciate the opportunity given to me by Rod, which allowed me to gain valuable hands-on experience in warehousing and logistics. This internship has been a truly rewarding experience for me. Coming in with zero knowledge of warehouse operations and logistics, I have gained valuable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how warehousing functions. I have learned key skills such as inward and outward goods processing, inventory management, and using warehouse management systems. Additionally, I have developed problem-solving skills, improved my attention to detail, and enhanced my ability to collaborate with different teams. This experience has given me greater confidence in applying my knowledge to real-world logistics challenges. My experience with the agency has been very positive, especially with Theresa, who handled my case with great professionalism and support. She was always responsive, helpful, and ensured a smooth process for me. At this stage, I don’t have any major suggestions for improvement, as everything was well-managed. However, continuing to provide the same level of personalised support and clear communication to future interns would be beneficial. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this internship program. It has been an invaluable learning experience that allowed me to gain hands-on knowledge in warehouse operations and logistics. The support from the team, especially across Inwards Goods, Outwards Goods, and the office, made a significant impact on my learning journey. I also appreciate the guidance and support from Rod and the agency, particularly Theresa, for making the process smooth and well-coordinated. Overall, this internship has given me a solid foundation in logistics, and I feel more confident in applying these skills in my career. Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to seeing how the program continues to help future interns.
