The internship provided by New Zealand is an advantage for me, so that my skills will increase, because New Zealand is an agricultural country that is recognized by the state and in terms of language and geography.

have completed my Diploma in Hotel Management (DHM) and am interested in an internship as a Kitchen Helper in a hotel. I can assist chefs with cooking, keep the kitchen clean, wash dishes, and organize ingredients and tools. I follow hygiene and safety rules and enjoy working as part of a team. I am eager to learn, gain practical experience, and contribute to the smooth running of the kitchen.

I spent 4 months in Australia in Melbourne for a marketing internship, it was the best months of my life. Melbourne is a very attractive city. I traveled during the weekends and discover spectacular landscapes. I advise you to go to discover the colony of penguins at St Kilda during the sunset which was a very good memory for me. The work atmosphere in my internship was very friendly and I improve my skills in marketing area. NZI found me an internship that fits all my criteria and for that i'm very grateful.

I am absolutely delighted with my experience in New Zealand. I was very lucky for all my stay, indeed, my team was absolutely awesome with me. They gave me responsibilities, helped me to develop all my skills and followed me during all my internship. The team of New Zealand Internships were really helpful.

I had so many expectations about New Zealand and they were all fulfilled! I was freaking out to go to the other side of the world for a 6-month internship. I remember arriving in Auckland and being astonished about the beauty of this city. New Zealand Internships helped me to get ready correctly and to start my internship as best as I can. They gave me all advice about living in Auckland, travelling in New Zealand and I am glad they did! I built strong friendships there and I am sure that I'll be back. Thank you Aotearoa and thank you New Zealand Internships!

Best decision of my life

After a few days in New Zealand, I understood that this experience will be the best of my life. I met a bunch of good friends at the orientation at New Zealand Internships' office and that was the beginning of the adventure. They also gave me a lot of tips to start the best as I can my internship. After a month I had responsibilities from my supervisor. The team was super nice and they integrated me really fast. The best part of my experience was probably all the weekend trips we did with the group of intern. I would do it again without hesitation!

My supervisor gives me responsibilities and also challenges that ask me a constant development of all my skills. I am delighted with my experience so far. In addition, their customer service is absolutely awesome, I was much more relaxed to go abroad as I was constantly in contact with one employee that helped me in all procedures. I totally enjoy my stay so far, New Zealand is a country full of beautiful nature and I recommend everyone to visit this country.

New Zealand Internships has helped me with the perfect internship for my entrepreneurial studies. My company gives me a lot of responsibility where I can learn from and the team is great! I made a lot of new friends with whom I explore New Zealand with and they're awesome. The Kiwi environment is amazing as well, the people are really friendly and you'll never get tired of the nature here. It's worth it!

New Zealand Internships helped me to find my ideal internship in New Zealand. The application process was very easy and the company considered all my wishes during the placement. The staff members are friendly and helpful at every time. I'm placed in Auckland for 5 weeks now and really enjoy my time here. The atmosphere at work is completely relaxed and loving. We have a lot of fun and at the weekends there is a lot to see. My supervisor transfers more and more responsibility to me over the time and I have always something to do. So, it's not getting boring. If you are looking for an internship in New Zealand, I would highly recommend New Zealand Internships to you.

Thanks to NZ Internships, they found a perfect internship for an exercise science, pre-occupational therapy student. At my internship, I was able to get hours and hours of hands-on learning. I believe I have gotten more hands-on hours here than I ever would have been able to do at home in the States. My supervisor was really good at explaining what was to be done with each client and then letting me do it. She or the physiotherapy assistant was always nearby if I were to need help or have a question. By the end, they were comfortable with letting me run a few programs myself. My co-workers were always willing to help me understand different situations and even go through many of them with me. Plus working with a team of many different therapists was a big advantage because I then got to see the team dynamics in a work place and how certain things can impact the dynamics. I would have loved to stay longer working with my co-workers. I will miss some of the clients as well. Working there has really impacted my life and made me realize how much I love working with disability, but yet how challenging it can be at times. I got to cross so many things off my bucket list on the weekends as well! Absolutely loved it! Would recommend this to everyone!

This is the most reliable organization to find the right internship tailored to you here in New Zealand. As a student majoring in Human Resources, I found the opportunity I was seeking for - A Professional Internship in HR! All Thanks to New Zealand Internships! This has given me the opportunity to meet a range of people from all different countries as well as giving me the opportunity to work in a Kiwi environment. I work really close to the beach and sometimes we head there for dinner. The weather is amazing just like New Zealand!

New Zealand internships found a company in Rotorua for me. Probably the best I could wish for. The company made me stay in a hostel during my internship. Witch was perfect for making contact with others and having parties. They also let me do all sorts of activities during my staying here. Due to them i have almost seen everything on the North Island. They gave me plenty of time for my school assignments and the internship tasks itself were nice and i learned a lot of it.

My internship is very interesting, I can do a lot of different things! The team is awesome, so friendly and funny. It is like a little family. New Zealand is also amazing we have so many things to discover and to do. I love exploring and here you can see mountains and in the same time the ocean, that is so wonderful. For the moment, I just discovered a small part of this country but I have time until my departure. When, we traveled on a weekend it is like a dream, it takes my breath away! I can't wait to discover other part of this wonderful country.

I have traveled many states throughout North America and studying abroad always interested me. I always knew I wanted to go abroad, I just thought it financially would never be possible. Interning abroad was a lower cost and allowed me to have the opportunity to go abroad. I have had the travel bug all my life. I love getting to see the different scenery plus learn about all the different cultures.

In 2016, after finishing my second year of university, I booked a working holiday in New Zealand through an organisation that helped me sort out my visa, group flights, accommodation, and insurance, etc. I thought this was great because I had always dreamt of visiting Australia or New Zealand since I was a young child, and now having this chance where everything would be sorted out for me seemed perfect.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

How to tell your company’s story…great question?! It started in 2006 when I wanted to do an internship in New Zealand myself. I approached multiple companies but nobody decided to hire me. I think the reason for this is because no one was familiar with the internship concept at the time. So instead, I decided to do my internship in the Caribbean by organising the placement with an internship agency. This is where the idea of establishing an internship agency in New Zealand came from. After graduating from university, I decided to give it a go and we have since assisted thousands of candidates from all around the world with successful internship placements in New Zealand.

I really wanted to do an internship abroad, and not just in a European country, but somewhere far away, where English is the first language. I was always dreaming about visiting New Zealand once in my life, and then I found NZI and they helped me to find an Internship in New Zealand! It was a country that I was dreaming about and now it is the country where I have lived for six months!

What inspired you to travel abroad?

First of all, I moved to The Netherlands to complete my bachelor degree in International Tourism Management. I have managed to gain a lot of international education experience because my coursework was focused on international hospitality. With my studies I got the chance to intern in France for seven months. It was an amazing experience where I improved my hospitality, communication, management, and French language skills.
