See All 2 ProgramsTexas has plenty to offer, but it helps to know what you’re looking for before you get started.
Texas isn’t just big on land, but it’s also big on potential.
A little preparation goes a long way when you're heading into a new place, especially one as varied as Texas.
Texas might be known for oil and cowboys, but there’s way more going on.
From ancient Indigenous sites to historic missions, Texas offers a wide range of digs and preservation projects. Internships often involve fieldwork, lab analysis, or working alongside researchers at museums and universities.
With major news outlets and a fast-growing digital content scene, media internships in Texas cover everything from journalism to social media. Expect to sharpen your storytelling skills while working with professionals across platforms.
Cities like San Antonio and Austin attract millions of visitors every year, creating strong demand for tourism-focused internships. Whether you're helping with events, marketing, or guest services, you'll gain experience in a people-first industry.
A Texas internship isn’t something you just stumble into. It takes a little planning. Here’s how to make the process smoother from the start.
Save time by using the GoAbroad Online Advisor. It’ll help you quickly narrow down Texas-based internships that actually fit what you're looking for.
Once you’ve got a few good options, log in to MyGoAbroad. It’s an easy way to save and compare programs without getting lost in your tabs.
Internships in Texas run year-round, but some seasons are better depending on your industry and overall experience.
Not every internship is paid, and some come with fees. Apply for scholarships and deals to help cover costs like housing, travel, or program fees
When you find a program that feels like a good fit, go to the listing and click “Apply Now” or “Inquire Here.” That’ll connect you with a coordinator who’ll walk you through what comes next.
As soon as you’re in, sort out the basics. That means passport and visa, housing, insurance, and flights. The earlier you check these off, the easier everything else gets.
Hear what past participants have to say about their experiences
Working for an art gallery is my dream! And to do it in Paris is way beyond my expectations. Everyday, there are prepared different units of the gallery. And everyday there are some seemingly daunting tasks. But I am glad that my supervisors are mentoring me all throughout the process. I also did some research, printed some captions, worked with the marketing and creatives team. This internship gave me my dream and I would always cherish it. <3 I would like to give my sincerest thanks to the IGS group for this amazing adventure. Your programme opened doors for me to meet a lot of people and travelled different places.
IGS gave me a position in a medium-sized museum and I loved everything about it. I super like that it's not too big to be filled with so much people, as it trigers my social anxiety. I love also that it isn't too small to not do anything. i was trained in how to communicate with visitors, and was oriented on the history of the majestic pieces of art. Thankj you very much, IGS!
Happy to have good times with my co-interns. happy to bond with them and visit tourist destinations on Saturdays and Sundays and on days when there are not much work in office. happy because this internship is really organized
Program: Graphic Design (Information Technology) Internships
I have years of Graphic Design experience, but I never really paid much attention to Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, Search engine optimization (SEO), and Blog writing, which are kinda related to my field. In my internship in Spain, we are opened to these fields and are encouraged to try and see for ourselves our strengths on those areas. I would say that for PPC, I rate myself as 9/10; for SEO, 8/10; and blog, 7.5/10. Not bad. Thanks, IGS, for letting us explore the world of our chosen fields, and those connected thereto.
My co-interns are the sweetest! This competitive field is filled with not just witty, but kindest persons! I wanna say hello to Gilda, Marielle, and Patrick – my co-interns, who are so funny and lovable. We bonded a lot during our beach trips. They even sent me flowers last week because it’s my birthday. Thank you very much to IGS for this life-long friendship!
Program: Radio Broadcasting (Communication/Media) Internships
Events planning and photography were two of the things I love to do in the world; but because of “matters of consequences”, I was not able to do them most of the time. I neglected these passions I had, because I was too busy on other things. Luckily, my internship in Spain made me fell in love with them again. I know only basic Spanish, so these tasks are the perfect ones assigned to me. Right now, I just bought a new camera to rekindle this fire inside me. Thank you, IGS. You made me rediscover myself.
Program: Finance Internships (Business) | IGS
To tell u honestly i would suggest this to everyone My regular duties and responsibilities as a finance intern are generating and entering data, preparing statements, analyzing reports, and taking notes during meetings..... One of the meetings to which we are allowed to sit in include a Japanese government official and Japanese policies..... I am amazed how well-versed business people are....... They are not just good at numbers, they are also good in speaking Nihonggo!
Program: IGS Ecotourism (Tourism) Internships
am grateful for my IGS mentor for being the best mentor I could think of. He always checks up on me and explains me the tasks thoroughly before letting me dive into the action. was assigned to do social media strategies to reach out to possible clients. also connected with local hostels for possible partnerships. Now, I have a great list of hostels which I could use when I bring my friends here next time.
I had the chance to do an internship for archeology and I enjoyed every minute of it! During the internship, I volunteered to do administrative tasks and reports on historical research. We are also encouraged to attend staff and planning meetings. I feel like I am really an archaeologist already! Even though it would take me three years more.
Well yeah.. I am an aspiring artist who wants to see as many inspirations as possible. I am still finding my style in doing art, but I sure as hell love writing. So while we are being taught on museum set ups and galleries, we are also given a chance to express our writing prowess by writing for the museum’s website. Also, our millennial skills are put to good use by focusing on their social media outreach. I love every bit of it.
Program: Graphic Design (Information Technology) Internships
We are asked about a specific cause or passion that we are interested on, and I chose environmental conservation. IGS then assigned us on the graphic design department of a company engaged on such field. My main duties include visual communication and problem-solving through typography and iconography. Sometimes, we do some analysis of client needs, and present them with the team. The only downside I can see is that the duration is short; it was so fulfilling, that I would have wanted it to extend to a few more months.
Program: Graphic Design (Information Technology) Internships
I was placed with a leading company in Japan, specializing in graphic design. My amazement with the Japanese culture and their graphic designs are heightened by this internship. I did not only taste the authentic ramens of Japan, but I also saw their latest technologies and softwares on graphic design. Usually, these softwares are expensive; but here, we are allowed to use them and are even trained for it. ありがとうございました! Arigatōgozaimashita!
In the second track of the advertising program, we are placed in a particular field of interest. I signed up for social services, and I was deployed to a social service organization’s advertising and marketing department. It was ideal for me because I get to do what I like to do, and also gain enough advertising skills. I am grateful to my mentor, Mr. Johnson, for the guidance. It was an honor to be under your tutelage. You explain so calmly and effectively, and helped us develop relevant skills, helping us prepare for a job and career in this field.
our sponsors in the advertising agency are actually big businesses wishing to promote their products and services,, what I learned and what they consistently reminded us is “You have to trust your brand, for you to effectively market it.” i assisted in making a total of five ads, for this short stint, and these are amazing additions to my portfolio. i am sure if my employers would see my resume, my internship in IGS would play a big role in my signing of employment contract.
Program: Radio Broadcasting (Communication/Media) Internships
As a Mass Communication Student, this internship was the perfect fit for me. I volunteered to calling businesses for potential partnerships, conducting interviews to some artists and callers, and some marketing on their social media platform. My LinkedIn account looks so much better now; thanks to the skillset I acquired and the jobs they let me experience. My friends are quite jealous of what I accomplished this summer.
Program: Radio Broadcasting (Communication/Media) Internships
Per my preference, I was designated to help a non-traditional station, an independent station featuring local artists and under-represented communities. In their interviews, the artists made their political stands through lyrics of their songs; and some of the composers even explain the struggles they face that they want the listeners to understand and take action on. My internship was meaningful. It is as if I could cry any moment.
Program: Finance Internships (Business) | IGS
Aside from the hands-on experience we are acquiring, I treasure the friendships I gained along the way. We did a lot of weekend trips and excursions, and discovered the cultures and traditions of Auckland. Two important components of this internship are being open to experiences and being positive all the time. Our IGS mentors always encouraged us to enjoy the learning process of life and finance. Some of them even gave love advices! It was fun looking back what we did on our days off.
Program: Finance Internships (Business) | IGS
During my intern-ing, we are given assemblies on how to run a small to mid-sized business. We are also trained to analyze financial data, create reports, and manage the database. I learned a lot of new tips and tricks on Microsoft Excel!
Program: IGS Ecotourism (Tourism) Internships
This internship is a great way to explore my passion while learning the business side of things. I have always identified myself as a “wanderlust”. Here, we are reminded to do responsible travelling to natural areas, in an effort to conserve the environment and sustain the well-being of the local people. We did a lot of marketing trips and seminars. It would be particularly helpful since I plan to take up Marketing in college.
Program: IGS Ecotourism (Tourism) Internships
I was assigned in Cancun, Mexico, and promoted whale shark tours and accompanied clients. I learned the importance of building environmental and cultural awareness and respect; and providing positive experiences for visitors. I will never forget them. Not to mention that my fellow interns are just so wonderful! One of them was training for the beauty pageant Miss Earth, which is an international environmental-themed competition. She said that is a great way to know more about environmental conservation. Well, I am sure it is. Good luck to her..
