From: Internships in New Zealand

I really loved this whole experience, from Aotearoa itself to the workplace.

I have definitely learned an improved sense of work-life balance, improved my writing skills, coding skills (learned Lua and LaTeX) as well as my work-ethic in a different sort of role than I am used to. It helped to be detail-oriented and self-motivated, which are skills I already had but developed in this role. I really loved this whole experience, from Aotearoa itself to the workplace. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and the workplace environment was relaxed but productive. The country is beautiful, and Wellington was a wonderful home base. The people had to be my favorite part, but I also got to do meaningful work and will hopefully have a publication out of it.

I really like the work-life balance.

My favorite aspect of this program is to allow me to work and play a sport internationally, and explore new things in New Zealand. I really like the work-life balance. It is worthwhile to learn and break through obstacles by doing realistic work. I received a few key areas that benefit and teach me in research skills: governance, administration, and performance. Having research skills including governance, administration, and performance, I can obtain and enhance my marketability to any employer, not just it, but allow me to view different dimensions from a low administrative level to an authoritative level. Additionally, I joined the club and played rugby. It makes so much sense what I learn from my internship.

Opportunity to gain real-world experience

One of my favourite aspects of the internship programme at the internship was the opportunity to gain real-world experience in a professional technology services environment.

Another aspect I particularly appreciated was learning about the workflow of service coordination. I was able to see how tasks and service requests were created, assigned, and monitored, and how technicians were dispatched to client sites when issues occurred. Observing these processes helped me understand the importance of communication, scheduling, and accurate information management in ensuring that projects and service calls run smoothly. I also enjoyed working with the team and experiencing the collaborative culture within the organisation. The staffs were supportive and willing to share their knowledge, which helped me learn about different roles within the company, including project managers, technicians, and administrative staff. This exposure helped me understand how different departments work together to deliver technology solutions and services to clients. Another favourite aspect of the programme was the opportunity to develop professional skills such as communication, organisation, and problem-solving. Through observing meetings, managing records, and assisting with coordination tasks, I gained a better understanding of how business operations function in a real workplace environment. Finally, the internship provided valuable learning about the importance of efficiency in service operations. I was able to identify areas where workflows could be improved, particularly in relation to task management and information flow between systems. This experience helped me connect theoretical knowledge from my studies with practical workplace applications. Overall, the internship programme was a valuable learning experience because it allowed me to develop practical workplace skills, gain industry exposure, and better understand how technology service organisations operate in New Zealand.

This internship has been a truly rewarding experience for me

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.

I really enjoyed getting to work with a great team of people

I really enjoyed getting to work with a great team of people. My coworkers were amazing, helpful, and fun people to be around. We had great conversations and they gave me a lot of support.

This internship has been incredibly beneficial for me

One of the best parts about the program was how easy and quick it was to get an internship through Internnzoz. Within just a week of signing up, my manager got in touch with me about an opportunity that suited me. It was really fast and efficient. This internship has been incredibly beneficial for me. It has significantly improved my employability by giving me a first hand experience of working in a professional environment.

Additionally, it strengthened my technical skills as I got to work on real projects. Specifically, my proficiency in Power BI and R language became much stronger. Moreover, I acquired new skills by learning how to use tools like Figma for wireframing Power BI reports. Overall, this internship has not only boosted my employability but also enhanced my technical abilities significantly. My internship experience was incredibly beneficial.
