Internships in New York

Overall, the experience was a 10 out of 10. The Intern Group supported me and guided me throughout the entire process. Not only did I gain practical experience through my internship, but the social and cultural activities they organized every weekend—such as museum visits, cruises, and trips to amusement parks—were also wonderful. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot while having a fun and enjoyable time with other interns in New York. The accommodation was also excellent. I stayed in a self-contained apartment, and the location was very convenient.

The Intern Group provided amazing support, well-located accommodation, and fun activities throughout my experience! The trip to the Whitney Museum of American Art was very memorable and I wish I would have joined more of the included activities!

My internship in New York with The Intern Group has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I worked at BQE Media, creating cinematic-quality content for restaurants and brands, and gained valuable insights into digital marketing and storytelling. Beyond the office, I volunteered at Rooftop Films as an official photographer, attended cultural events across the city, and even joined a 48-Hour Film Project with filmmakers from NYU. These opportunities pushed me out of my comfort zone, expanded my professional network, and helped me grow as a filmmaker and as a person. Living and working in one of the most creative cities in the world gave me independence, confidence, and a global perspective that I will carry throughout my career.

The Intern Group is an exceptional organization that empowers young individuals to unlock their full potential. Having participated in their programs twice, in Dublin and New York, I can confidently affirm that they are shaping a new generation of global citizens. The dedicated support teams, available around the clock, are always there to offer advice, guide you through challenges, and show you the wonders of the city or the country. The Intern Group provided me with prestigious internships that significantly enhanced my journalism skills and elevated my CV. Living with other program participants fostered life-long friendships that I cherish. The Intern Group has transformed my life by helping me discover my capabilities and inspiring me to travel and embrace challenges.

Not only did I professionally grow but also personally. Being independent in a city like New York teaches you so much about yourself. And not only that, but being surrounded by equally-minded, ambitious, and hard-working individuals that want to kickstart their career, it's the best internship programme to do for someone wanting to experience life in a big city

My experience was enlightening. I learnt a lot about my career field, working and myself. Apart from the invaluable experience I had working for my host organization, I learnt how to adapt to a different environment.

I had a fantastic time. Living situation could be improved, but all else was amazing. Arrival was easy and well organised and the work environment throughout the 6 weeks was amazing. Great team and interesting work.

Engaging in this experience truly allowed me to embrace life like never before. It opened my eyes to new possibilities and made me reflect deeply on my aspirations and goals for the future. I discovered a sense of purpose and clarity that I hadn't experienced in the past, which has inspired me to pursue my passions with newfound determination.

I had an overall enjoyable experience. Although there were some accommodation issues, they were promptly resolved by the Intern Group. Ultimately, it was a rewarding and enriching opportunity that I greatly valued.

This experience was a turning point in my life, pushing me to see the world through a fresh lens. It encouraged me to explore new opportunities and rethink my future ambitions. Along the way, I gained a clearer sense of purpose and direction, inspiring me to chase my passions with renewed focus and enthusiasm.

I enjoyed my internship and had a good time sightseeing in New York, especially because I was able to visit Washington DC for a conference with my internship company and meet and listen to Brazilian delegates discuss their knowledge on the topic of the RTM. I would do this again.

Had an amazing time, made lots of new friends and had some great experiences !! Plus I loved the internship I was on I learnt a lot from my mentor such as valuable skills that I will take forward into my future career.

I would say my experience of interning in New York would be best summarising as a time where I’ve learned the most in the shortest amount of time. Whilst there was all the things I literally learned through my internship about being in a different kind of workplace, new skills and other things. After living and interning in New York I would say being in that new environment and being thrown into the culture taught me so much about who I was, could be and to never limit where I can go. I’m grateful for the experience I had and if you have the opportunity to do an internship, do it! It is definitely worth it.

I chose a program having to do with an industry i had little to no experience in, but I feel that jump into the deep end allowed me to learn so much. I loved having a group of fellow interns to talk with along with being solo in my specific internship. I faced some challenges with my supervisor but ultimately feel those challenges were also only more lessons to be learned and brought with me in the future. In terms of career prep and experience I think I have learned and gained loads from the program. :)

Summer Internship in New York City from June to September 2024. Had a fantastic time gaining valuable work experience while also being able to explore and experience living one of the best cities in the world.

The experience was fun and formative! The company was great and supportive. Social life inside my building was great. Outdoor activities organized were amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the experience.

I have interned in New York. It was a transformational experience as I got to experience the Big Apple life and people. I loved the work and also the people I have met in the program. Our program leader, Brian, was very helpful in showing the city but also telling its secrets.

It was a good experience for getting an internship and also creating friendships. The accommodation location was good but the room is not the best (loud ac and thin wall). Depends on where you get placed.
