Online Religious Work Internships Abroad

As an economics student, I am deeply interested in understanding how rigorous modelling coupled with data-driven analysis can be used to effectuate economic and social change through guiding real-world decision-making. Over the last few years, I have increasingly recognised that unlocking the potential value that this discipline could bring hinges on whether one can discern which models and tools would be appropriate for the given context. To develop my capacity for making substantive judgements, I sought out The Intern Group to match me with a suitable organisation that would enable me to apply the skills and knowledge I've learnt from my time at university. The experience itself was highly challenging and intellectually stimulating; it forced me to think critically about what would constitute a useful deliverable for my partner organisation, in addition to how it should be presented to communicate my findings accessibly. In contrast to university coursework, which is generally evaluated in accordance with a well-defined set of criteria, I was granted the liberty to be creative in how I approached this project. Consequently, I had the chance to engage in divergent thinking and figure out for myself which ideas were feasible and worth developing. Although this strategy requires spending considerable time and energy before making any visible progress, it allowed me to identify the constraints imposed by the available data, understand the incentives faced by different stakeholders and consider what information decision-makers need to act effectively. Learning how to draw upon this framework in order to credibly and reliably inform decision-making within the global agricultural commodity trading market has inspired me to pursue further study and gain new experiences so that I may broaden my exposure while deepening and consolidating my skills and knowledge. I believe that this experience, supplemented by the developmental opportunities and resources offered by The Intern Group, has helped me to clarify my career path, reaffirm my understanding of how the discipline can yield practical insights and realise my own potential in contributing to real-world change.

I had an lovely and efficient experience with the intern group, no matter who I interacted with they were kind and helpful, the whole experience was very rewarding and they are always available for any questions along the way! I was really unsure on how it would all go, but I was very impressed and I have nothing but positive things to say. From the start they made the process of finding an internship that would suit my needs so easy and every step of the way they are encouraging you. I absolutely loved my time with them and have zero regrets. I got matched with a company very quickly and I absolutely adored my experience and time with the company I got to work for. Even though it was remote I was still made to feel like I was part of the process and I throughly enjoyed experiencing being part of real work for real people. Even if you are a university student looking to gain experience one summer or a recent graduate there is no doubt in my mind you will gain something valuable from doing an internship with a company that aligns with your career goals.

My experience in Thailand has been so fun! I got to see a lot of the major temples and sites that are a must visit. I made many friends with the other interns here. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. They helped me with any questions I had or anything in general. Overall my experience was amazing, 10/10 would recommend to anyone on the fence about it! I would even come back if I could!

An excellent experience for my development as a digital designer, where I was able to learn new things and introduces my skills in the best possible way. I learned a lot about augmented reality and I hope it allows me to find a suitable job.

During my internship, I contributed to a sustainability project focused on improving environmental performance and supporting responsible business practices. I assisted with research, data collection, and analysis related to sustainability initiatives, including carbon management and resource efficiency. This experience allowed me to better understand how organizations integrate sustainability strategies into their operations. The internship strengthened my analytical, research, and problem-solving skills while giving me practical exposure to sustainability reporting and environmental impact assessment. Overall, the project highlighted the importance of sustainable practices in promoting long-term organizational and environmental well-being. Claudy Docteur

Over two months, I gained valuable skills, working on tasks like Facebook ad management and helping with the company’s website. This hands-on experience taught me how to adapt to challenges and grow professionally. I appreciated the trust and responsibilities given to me. Despite some hurdles, I consider this internship a significant learning experience that has prepared me well for future opportunities. I’m grateful for the support and mentorship I received throughout my time there.

I had the privilege of completing a 2-month remote internship with a Tech Solutions company as a Digital Marketing Intern, and the experience was so chill and enriching. One of the highlights of this internship was the hands-on exposure to various facets of digital marketing. I actively participated in content creation, managing social media platforms, and contributing to SEO optimization efforts. The team's guidance and constructive feedback played a pivotal role in refining my skills and understanding of the industry. I am proud to note specific achievements during the internship, including a notable increase in website traffic and social media engagement. These tangible results, coupled with the mentorship received, have significantly contributed to my professional development. All thanks to AIP for arranging my internship with this company. They exceeded my expectations and I'm very grateful for the opportunity. Also, they gave me a discount so I'm definitely applying for summer next year!

During covid, I was having a hard time applying to companies as I needed to do my internship. I found AIP on a Facebook page and although it was difficult to trust an agency at that time, I still tried and they offered me a remote internship. I built my trust when they offered me a company that does exactly what I wanted which is software development. Although the company is based in Asia, my manager was very flexible and considerate when it comes to working hours. The projects were aligned to my course and I am very grateful for this opportunity.

I am really interested in aviation maintenance studies specifically airframe and power plant training which will equip me skills to compete on the job market in my country I will be grateful once am given a chance

During the placement process, The Intern Group only had one mechanical engineering option to offer me at a company based in Colombia and had to switch to a fully remote position. The situation was unfortunate because of the time zone differences and the workload was very independent. This wasn’t the internship I hoped for but it definitely challenged me professionally. The people that arrived the same time as I did + the accommodation made the whole experience worthwhile. Our experience coordinator, Erika, was very welcoming and helpful with everything we needed. We would have weekly meet ups to socialize and do fun activities together. The accommodation is full of other friendly students/travelers and I felt very safe, it’s comparable to a single dorm room.

Thank you for sharing your candid experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience overall and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Emily

I did my virtual internship with a fashion boutique based in Taipei, managing and directing all of their social media platforms. I can say I had a lot of fun with this, as they gave me total creative freedom, and to my surprise entrusted me with a lot of responsibility. In the end I bonded very well with all the staff and they seemed very happy with my performance. Once the pandemic has totally died down I do plan on going to Taipei, and we have already discussed the possibility that a full-time job may be on offer! This is all thanks to Meiji!

I had been planning to gain some work experience with a Chinese company for the past couple years, but of course as we know the borders are still currently impenetrable. I caught wind of virtual internships from a university fair, and once I started I never looked back. From home I could access the work experience I was so patiently waiting for, and I have to say it was probably much more convenient than actually going out there. I managed to skip over the language barriers, homesickness, all the costs of living and travel - it’s easy to see why I’m happy. Yes it was virtual but I definitely worked on some real projects, and it was not easy! Meiji were so easy to work with, they put together the internship in no time and they did a great job in the process. For this reason I’d recommend them if you’re looking for a similar experience I had. All I can say is if you want to do an internship, always consider doing it with a company overseas, it will really give your resume a boost.

I started my virtual internship after I found myself with a lot of downtime during the dreaded post-graduation job searching and from my experience it brought me many benefits. I’m in the industry of marketing with a focus on the channels of social media, when I told this to Meiji they said they had some suitable companies for me to work with and they were not wrong. I ended up working with an amazing company in Japan, taking control of their social media platforms, video and image editing, etc. I had read up about many horror stories regarding Japanese companies, like their really long work hours, or super depressing atmospheres. But this company was so far from that, everybody was really nice and supportive, it was a small relatively young company so it felt very dynamic and I was given lots of responsibility. Meiji assured me that they choose their partners carefully so I imagine most of their companies would feel like this. In the end I had such a good time, it often felt like fun rather than work. I gained some unique work experience and I’m now actually considering moving to work in Japan! I guess you could say it changed my career path.

Doing an internship online was definitely something I have never done before so I was a little nervous, and also worried that it wouldn't be worth my time and money. I was wrong! I had so much fun working with the company in Singapore, they taught me a lot and I felt like a real team member at all times. Meiji Internships did the best job helping me find the internship. I sent them soooo many emails and they were always so patient and helpful, I wish I could meet them in person some time!! I also really appreciate that they made a call with me before so they could understand exactly what I wanted from the internship and they chose based on that conversation. Really really recommend Meiji!!

The pandemic brought possibly the hardest 2 years of my life. I had been planning to move to start working abroad in Korea but couldn’t for obvious reasons, and with everything closed and the time ticking I was really freaking out over the future of my career. That’s when I started looking into the online internships provided by Meiji. From start to finish they helped me with every step, and in the end I couldn't have been happier with the company they partnered me with. The work I did was actually valuable, being a random intern behind a laptop from the other side of the world had me worried I was just going to be given trivial tasks, but they entrusted me with so much responsibility and I’m so grateful for that. Going forward I feel like I’ve gained some great experience for my future career, and I’ve definitely put my worries aside. Thank you Meiji!

My passion for video games and programming let me study it for my full-time degree in Munich. I wanted to go to Thailand as I loved the start-up scene and vibe there I experienced pre covid at my fantastic summer trip. But the pandemic made a big cross through my plans. Meiji found me a perfect solution with an IT and Web-development company in Bangkok. I did 5-months internship and learned a lot I can use for my future career, especially, C++, Java, Java Script and some basic 3D animation.

I am marketing student from Poland, and find the internships on google. It was first time to do the online, so first not knowing how to expect. I work with the japanese company in my home so it was good for time. Finaly i am very happy with meiji who make me the best internship ever. I hope that you will chose meiji in the future. Thank you very much :)

Would genuinely recommend Meiji to anybody thinking of getting some international work experience from the comfort of your own home. I was in a bit of a panic when I didn't secure a summer internship whilst at university, then I came across Meiji. I’d always wanted to work with an international company, but obviously as a student didnt have the time nor money to do so. That’s when I grew interested in Meiji’s virtual internship. The work I did was pretty full on, whether or not that’s a good thing will depend on the person, but for me that was excellent as I love staying busy. That being said I worked from home and still had my free time, so I had a decent work life balance. So altogether a really good experience that was very convenient for me. Again, cant recommend Meiji enough. Cheers!

I was a little bit skeptical about doing a remote internship because I am a big fan of traveling and Singapore is a place I’ve always wanted to go though. I had low expectations but to be honest I was pleasantly surprised. Working remotely allowed me to stay in the comfort of my home, which is nice and my employers were extremely friendly and supportive. I will admit the time difference was a bit of a struggle as I was in Europe and they were in Singapore so there was a 6 hour difference but my employers were extremely flexible and allowed me to work when it was convenient for me. While it is a shame that I did not manage to go to Singapore this time, this experience allowed me to see what it’s like to work remotely. I did enjoy the process and would be open to doing a similar experience in the future!
