Culinary Arts & Cooking Internships in United States

Beyond Academy were absolutely brilliant from start to finish, every step is well thought out with sufficient support throughout not only from the programme leaders in the city taking us to events, shows, dinners, and hotspots, but also from those behind the scenes making the internship happen in the first place!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Isabelle! We’re thrilled to hear that you felt supported throughout your time in New York and had such a positive experience with your host company, accommodation, and the wider program. It was wonderful having you with us, and we can’t wait to see where this experience takes you next!

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!

I got to meet so many amazing people while getting to explore a new city, all while building my resume at an amazing internship company that will leave a lasting impact on me. The community coordinators are the nicest people ever and make sure that you feel like you belong in the city, no matter where you are from :)

Thank you so much for the amazing review, Aadi! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a memorable summer and were able to balance gaining meaningful professional experience with making the most of life in New York City.

Overall, the preparation process went smoothly, and everything was well organized. I am satisfied with the overall service and support. The Stage-Global team was very supportive at every step and provided clear instructions and guidance throughout the process.

Ksenia provided excellent support at every stage of the process, responding promptly and kindly to all of my questions so that we could achieve our goal. Thank you very much, everything has been great.

Stage-Global definitely took away the stress of having to figure out everything regarding the visa. That helped me a lot and gave me more time to focus on other things when planning to go to the United States.

Stage-Global made the entire visa process much easier, which allowed me to focus on preparing for the move instead of worrying about paperwork. If you are considering a J-1 program, I'd say go for it.

My experience with Stage-Global has been very positive. The organization, communication, and support provided by the team have been very helpful since the beginning of my program. I would especially like to thank Ksenia for her kindness, professionalism, and continuous support. She has always been available to answer my questions and assist me whenever needed. Overall, I am very satisfied with the services provided by Stage-Global, and I truly appreciate this valuable opportunity

Super personalized experience with extremely helpful & friendly staff along every step of the way! After finishing my program in New York, I can say that Beyond is a great way to ensure a legit internship experience in a field you're looking to pursue & I'd heavily recommend their services.

Beyond Academy gives college students the opportunity to have an unforgettable experience in a new place as well as concrete work experience both for a more complete resume and sharper skills to apply in your career. I met some amazing people and developed a great relationship with my host company. If you need an internship, a new and unfamiliar setting to promote growth, or a new group of friends beyond academy is the place to put your trust in. It challenged me to adapt quickly, build confidence, and gain valuable experience that will benefit me long after the internship ended.

Moving abroad has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It has challenged me in ways I never expected and helped me grow both personally and professionally. Working in the United States has allowed me to meet people from different cultures, improve my communication skills, and gain valuable experience in the hospitality industry. Every day has been an opportunity to learn something new, become more independent, and build confidence in myself. Of course, living away from my family has not always been easy, but it has made me appreciate them even more and has taught me resilience and adaptability. Looking back, I can say that every challenge has been worth it because it has shaped me into a stronger and more capable person. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. It has opened doors, broadened my perspective, and inspired me to continue pursuing new goals. I would encourage anyone considering an experience abroad to take the chance—it is an unforgettable journey that helps you grow in ways you never imagined.
