New Zealand Internships

In October 2023 I did an internship in New Zealand to improve my English skills and to get to know a new company in a different industry. Therefore, this program helped me to find the best company. I'm glad I traveled with Internex. The program saved me from having to find a hostel and an internship on my own. I also met a lot of other people who also traveled with Internex, so I was able to make new friends.. This programm also organized some common events to talk together and to get to know each other better. Overall, it has been a great experience working with Internex!

Back in 2022, I was about to be done with Uni and wanted to find an internship oversees to gain first work experiences and travel while working. I found a German organization who transferred me to Internex. I had a first skype interview to get to know the organization and see about my options in my working field. I studied life science technologies and wanted to work in a cosmetics/detergent/cleaning company to work in the lab. Chris (Director of Internex) was super great and told me about all my possibilities and where I could stay. I felt really good about choosing Internex after. Then he found a fitting company for me and organized a skype meeting to see if we were a great fit. Which we were indeed. After I signed my internship contract Chris found me a fitting home stay. I chose a home stay because I wanted to see the Kiwi culture and get to know some people. There was also the option to stay in a single room at a hostel in the central. My home stay was a perfect match and I had a really lovely time staying at their house. They even took me on little trips along the area. The organization offered me help sending me insurance websites and booked a transfer to my home stay. They also help ypu open a NZ bank account, but I did not need that. Once I got to New Zealand, we also had a welcome seminar to learn about the culture, how to find our ways here and get to know different people. Before getting to NZ I was really scared to not find any friends, but due to the welcome seminar I found lots of new contacts. I went on several trips with them which was really nice! The company I did my internship at was a perfect match. All of the staff were super friendly, and I'll definitely miss working there. I worked in the lab on new formulations, formulation changes and everything regarding the research and development. It was definitely exactly what I hoped my internship to be! Overall, I had an amazing experience here and I am happy that I chose Internex as organization to come over here! I would definitely recommend them to other people wanting to do an internship.

I’m from Germany and I stayed in Auckland for three months for an internship. I was hoping to get some work experience and get an insight into marketing. I really enjoyed working in my internship company! The people of my company where super nice and welcoming and immediately made me feel like a part of the team. The work environment and atmosphere was great and the whole team was fun to work with and I just had a really good time with them in general. Regarding my actual work in the company I feel like I did a little bit of everything.I worked on super interesting projects and helped out with a lot of different stuff that came up. Of course there was also some stuff that was not as interesting and just needed to be done but they always tried to make it as interesting as possible. I think I learned a lot during the time and got great insights into different aspects of the company. My internship was also located pretty close to my homestay! My homestay was amazing as well. My host was super nice and I had the best time staying with her. She really made me feel at home and helped with a lot of stuff that came up. It was a super fun time and I’m super thankful to her. I could always talk to her and she was really caring. The house was really nice and I was super happy with my room and the food was amazing! Overall it was a great experience and I had the best time. Internex welcomed me in Auckland with a welcome event which included a lot of helpful information and tips as well as a barbecue later. Through this event I met lots of people which was great to make some friends. I had the best time in Auckland and I’m really thankful for the amazing organization by Internex !
