Program Overview

Australia is a huge draw to our U.S. clients. Sydney is one of the most sought-after cities in our catalog. With vast white sand beaches a ferry ride away from the city center, our interns find a nice city/beach balance.

Digital marketing students are drawn to our placement with one of the premier international firms in the world. And those more inclined to work near the water have interned with top marine scientists. A recent student just signed on to assist the Manly Lifeguard Station forty minutes from downtown. We have likewise placed students Back of Bourke—the Aussie euphemism for the middle of nowhere. One of our students worked at an Aboriginal Radio Station near Darwin. Two of our Japanese students worked with an eco-tour company in Cairns.

There is no shortage of options for finding your place under the sun. Many of our students go on a side trip to the Great Barrier Reef for snorkeling or diving. Those with terrestrial passions head to the Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves—a two-hour drive from Sydney.

Reflection

I took this internship as a school requirement. So we are asked to write a reflection paper about it.. to share our experiences and gained insights. At first, my goal is just to move out of the house. It was boring already and I needed some kind of distraction and some fun outside. In Australia, I saw beautiful streets, cultures, and citizens. And I was able to reflect too, on things I regret and choices I made in the past. Pretty dramatic, haha. Really happy I get this chance to learn about my chosen field of sports marketing, and also do some me-time.

I had a legal internship with my friends

My friends and I took a legal internship in Perth, upon some suggestions of our upperclassmen. We are given research work, case work, evidence work, and they even brought us to the court room. I amazed how our professional mentors are really making time for us -- you know, to guide us and listen to what we have to say. The city is glowing at night, too. This internship is very educational and memorable for me.

Land down under

Found new friends there that boast that: Australia is a continent, a country, and an island! All in one! It is true though! Digital marketing is my jam - it is the perfect blend of business and psychology, which are both pretty damn interesting for me. This internship opened my eyes to newer perspectives, and widen my network all around the globe. Some of my fellow intern-mates are Asians and some Europeans. The land down under is a mesmerizing place ---- and for sure, I will go back!
