Engineering Internship in Vietnam | ABROADER

Coming to this internship in Vietnam, I wanted both to explore a culture completely different from my own and gain a head start into my career as an environmental engineer and I was not disappointed. I felt that even when I am not here for a long enough period of time to do something of great importance, I contributed to the host organization with my research into potential donors and other youth initiatives in climate change adaptation. Being one of the more fluent speakers of English, I was also given the task to check and edit the Municipal Waste Recycling Program materials for the organization and I was able to complete the task within a relatively short time because the deadline was shortly after I joined as an intern. in Vietnam and my particular help with the MWRP (checking English) was of great importance to them as the deadline approached. They have given me feedback and said that some of my research into potential donors and other youth initiatives in climate change adaptation has been of use to them too. Overall, I have been able to experience a lot of different elements of the company’s culture, helping different people and learning new things about not only the company but also working in general. The experience I had in Vietnam will definitely an asset for me to start my career as an environmental engineer.
