Its time to get out of my bubble
August 14, 2026by: Adya J - IndiaLondon was the most unrealistic experience for me! The work-life balance culture, dressing, food, lifestyle, people everything seemed like a fantasy. These 2 months are something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Never did I think I would get to meet such great people, eat all this food, and party as I've never done before! The experience coordinators were the absolute best. They ensured we had a great time, did not make us feel like we were away from home, and most importantly, they were our friends! We talked, ate, and went out together like we've known each other since forever. Honestly, I wasn't sure about this entire experience, but once I got here, oh boy, I would give my heart and soul for this to just be my reality. My opinion, be unsure, dream unrealistically, spend that money, overthink it, but take that step and go for it, because what's the worst that could happen?



My first experience abroad!
August 14, 2026by: Concetta Guerrera - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had one of the best time of my life! The internship has helped me to grow both personally and professionally and I will be forever grateful to The Intern Group for the opportunity given. Not only the work environment was fantastic, but also the moments spent with my flatmates made a difference in this experience
Best summer yet
August 13, 2026by: Kimson Wu - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Before going to Hong Kong, i thought all I was going to experience is the internship itself and nothing else. Until I realized the intern group provided other memorable experiences for us. I met a LOT of new people and got to know more about them and how we all ended up in Hong Kong. What an experience
A Valuable and Eye-Opening Internship Experience
August 10, 2026by: Delfin Aksu - TurkeyMy internship with The Intern Group was a very valuable experience for me, both personally and professionally. As this was my first experience working in the industry, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect, but I was able to adapt to the working environment much more easily than I thought. One of the most valuable parts of this experience was that it made me think more seriously about the career path I would like to follow in the future. There are so many different areas and opportunities within computer science and technology, and having the chance to gain real work experience helped me better understand what kind of work I enjoy, what I am good at, and what might suit me best in the future. I also had the opportunity to meet new people, experience a different working environment, and learn many things outside of my university studies. I am especially grateful to my workplace mentors, who were incredibly patient, supportive, and welcoming throughout my internship. They always took the time to help me whenever I had questions or was unsure about something. Everything was explained to me in great detail, and I was guided through unfamiliar tasks in a way that helped me genuinely understand what I was doing. Having such supportive mentors made it much easier for me to learn, build my confidence, and feel comfortable in my first professional working environment. I also really appreciated all the events and activities organised by The Intern Group. I genuinely enjoyed every event I attended, and they made the whole experience even more memorable and enjoyable. They were also a great opportunity to meet and spend time with people from different backgrounds and make new connections. I am very thankful to The Intern Group team for organising them and for always being so supportive throughout my time here. Overall, I am very grateful for this experience and for everyone who contributed to it. I feel like I am leaving with a clearer idea of my future career, new experiences, new connections, and great memories. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so positive!
Summer in Madrid, Spain
August 09, 2026by: Dalylah Greenbach - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My time in Madrid was the best three months of my life; I learned so much about myself and was able to meet a bunch of new people. I loved how easygoing Madrid was, from the transportation to how nice the people were. I was able to experience the Madrid culture and try new foods. It took a little bit to get used to the 9-hour time difference and the late dinners. I also loved how easy it was to travel around Europe because Madrid has easy access to trains and flights. Lastly, I had the best roommates and made lifelong memories. The Intern Group was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. More specifically, Lalita and Corinne were so helpful while being in Madrid. Anytime I had a question, they were able to answer it very quickly. Also, getting to be in a group with other interns made the experience a lot easier because we were able to connect and relate to each other's experiences. I was able to make lifelong friends with some of the people in the group. The Bubble (the company that I worked with) made it very welcoming and allowed me to ask any questions that I was unsure about. They gave me many hands-on tasks, which I am grateful for because I gained a lot of experience. Overall, Madrid makes it extremely easy to adapt to and is a great place to do an internship. There is always something to do, and you will 100% make lifelong memories and friendships.
The Intern Group Experience
August 07, 2026by: Sofia Theye - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had a good experience with The Intern Group during my summer internship in Spain. They made the process of moving to a new country and starting an internship easier by providing support throughout the experience. My internship gave me valuable professional experience and allowed me to build on my skills. Beyond the internship, living in Madrid was an amazing opportunity to experience a new culture, meet new people, and travel around Europe. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain work experience abroad while having an unforgettable summer experience.
An Experience That Changed My Perspective
August 06, 2026by: Ayen Amandy - PhilippinesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Joining The Intern Group's architecture internship program in Madrid, Spain was one of the best decisions I've ever made. What started as an opportunity to gain international work experience became a journey of personal growth, cultural immersion, and lifelong memories. During my internship, I worked in a professional architecture firm where I was exposed to real-world projects, collaborated with experienced architects, and learned how design practices differ in an international setting. It strengthened both my technical and communication skills while teaching me how to adapt to a multicultural workplace. Living in Madrid was equally rewarding. The accommodation was clean, safe, and conveniently located near public transportation, making it easy to commute to work and explore the city. Madrid itself is vibrant, walkable, and rich in history, and I loved spending weekends visiting museums, parks, cafés, and nearby cities. The Intern Group also organized social events that made it easy to connect with interns from all over the world, many of whom I still keep in touch with today. One thing I appreciated most was how this experience pushed me outside my comfort zone. Moving to another country, navigating daily life in a different language, and balancing work with travel helped me become more independent, resilient, and confident. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to provide even more structured networking opportunities or career development workshops tailored to different industries. That said, the overall support from The Intern Group was excellent, and I always felt that there was someone I could reach out to whenever I needed assistance. I would highly recommend this program to students and recent graduates who want more than just an internship. If you're looking to gain meaningful professional experience while growing as a person and experiencing life in another country, this program is absolutely worth it. It was truly a life-changing experience that continues to influence both my career and personal outlook.


Best time in Dublin!
August 06, 2026by: Ramzie Wyche - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
This was an amazing experience to immerse myself in a new culture while also gaining work experience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to both travel and work in a professional setting. Dublin has a great city life, and it is also easy to travel to other European countries
This is was a fantastic experience, highly recommend this experience to everyone
August 01, 2026by: Shahni Colley - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
My experience in Dublin was life changing. I had the best time exploring the city, making life long friends and my placement was fantastic. I was working with like minded people, that were passionate about what they did and wanted to share that passion with me. Outside of work the EC’s are the best people to talk to about where to go and what to see around the city, they really help bump the trip up to the next level.
Great time!
August 01, 2026by: Caytlin Lucas - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin

I had so much fun!
August 01, 2026by: Wan Ting Coco Ma - South AfricaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I loved being able to experience a work culture so different from mine and also being able to travel around in the days off or after work. It was really nice to have the accommodation already prepared.
I had a really good time!
August 01, 2026by: Maya Cucchetti - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a great time in this program, the city was great and the events were a great way to get introduced to new aspects of the culture. I met some really great people as well that I am sure I will keep in touch with after the program, all in all a great experience.
Melbourne Tourist turned Wannabe Dublin Local
July 31, 2026by: Ava Campbell - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of spending the last six weeks in Dublin with the Intern Group. This has been the best decision I have made for my academic, professional and social life. Laura and Adam were absolute stars in assisting us with our time here and making it a fun and enjoyable experience.
live laugh love
July 31, 2026by: Ella Francis - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a great experience working with the intern group. Everyone was enthusiastic, collaborative, and eager to learn, which made for a positive and productive environment. A special mention goes to Adam and Laura, who were both incredibly supportive, approachable, and consistently willing to help wherever needed. Their guidance and encouragement made a real difference, and they played a big part in creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for the team. Thank you all for a fantastic internship experience!
Wowzer, what a thrill!
July 29, 2026by: Lily Edwards - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
The experience from start to finish was really great! The initial interview was really easy. The internship with placement Paula was really great. Her communication was really helpful. The experience coordinators Adam and Laura were fantastic as well. All the events they held were really fun and they were really easy to talk to and reach out when needed.
Such a great experience!

This was an excellent work and life experience!
July 26, 2026by: Robert Laufer - United StatesAlex, Peach and team were super professional and helpful all through the process. I was very impressed with their attentiveness and professionalism. I was placed with a great company in a timely manner. I had a wonderful experience with my internship. I have prior work experience and I still learned so much from this. It was also wonderful getting to see London and learn all about the city.
Good experience
July 25, 2026by: Aidan W - United KingdomProgramme staff were great, good work experience. Social events were fun and well organised, easy to contact programme staff. Internship experience was valuable and interesting, great if you hope to find a job.
Great time in Dublin! Shout out the ECs
July 24, 2026by: Lesley Martinez - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Summer internship went great! I had to do a 8 week program per my university requirements and my placement helped me find another placement for the 3 week gap I had after they finished. Everyone was super nice and friendly in the workplace too. Events were very fun, Adam and Laura tried their best to make sure of it, I got to see a bit of Ireland through them and I made life long friends with my roommates. Overall great experience!

Amazing Experience in Dublin
July 24, 2026by: Kylie Kutner - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
The intern group Dublin program has been very rewarding. I have been able to learn from my internship for about 8 weeks and experience the sites around Dublin. The ECs, Adam and Laura, were amazing!! They are very friendly and welcoming. They always came up with really fun events for the group. I had an overall great time in Dublin!!!
The most wonderful experience
July 24, 2026by: Alice Wrede - United StatesI truly had the best time during my internship abroad with The Intern Group. I had the most fulfilling work experience, met some of my closest friends, and really enjoyed every moment. Peach and Alex on experience team at the intern group truly fostered an environment where everyone felt welcome and we had the most fun excursions. I would recommend this program to anyone
Best summer ever!
July 23, 2026by: Laramy Overby - United StatesThis summer was amazing! I met so many incredible new people from all over, and have explored new and exciting places. Everyone has been super helpful in this experience, and I can’t imagine a better way to spend the summer!
Most Rewarding Experience Ever
July 23, 2026by: Sai Shankar Sadhu - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
This was the most amazing and most fun experience I have ever had. This is the first time I have traveled alone to a country I have never been to before, and it's been alone from family in a whole new place for a long time. Most people view interning abroad as just a resume builder, but it's honestly so much more than that. I've really grown as a person by becoming more independent and self-reliant. I've gone on amazing and cool excursions and made so many new friends. I've gotten to really love Australia over the couple of weeks I spent here, and I honestly wish I had spent more time there. I felt very sad to leave, and all of the other interns felt the same way. Australia is truly a wonderful place to live in, and I hope my future holds a place for Australia.
Dublin Internship

Best summer in Madrid!
July 16, 2026by: Cristina Santamaria - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My time with The Intern Group in Madrid was one of the best decisions I made during college. Beyond the internship experience itself, I walked away with lifelong friendships, a stronger sense of independence, and a real love for the city. The program team was supportive from day one and made the transition abroad feel completely manageable. I’d recommend it to anyone considering an internship abroad, especially in Madrid.
So Fun
July 15, 2026by: Danielle Duarte - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Great professional work experience. Good work life balance, I had enough time to work and explore the city. Thank you Laura and Adam for making the experience fun with all the activities! My favorite was the walking tour:)

Amazing Experience!

A unique work and travel opportunity
July 15, 2026by: Harris Felton - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a great and fruitful experience doing a 6 week business internship in Dublin. from the internshipI learnt most from participating in the workings of a business, in presenting its platforms, creating and refining content such as websites with AI, and conducting market research and social media outreach. But in Addition to that , it was the organised events and provided facilties that allowed me to do so much outside of work. Would highly recommend to undergraduate or post graduate students and any young person seeking practical experience abroad
I had a good time in London
July 13, 2026by: Chuaner Huang - ChinaLondon is an incredible city with a rich history, diverse culture, and endless opportunities. I enjoyed exploring its museums, theatres, parks, and vibrant neighbourhoods. The public transport is convenient, and there is always something new to discover. Although the cost of living is very high, the experience of living and working here has been unforgettable. My internship gave me valuable insight into the UK healthcare system and helped me improve my communication skills. I hope I will have the opportunity to return and work in London with a work visa in the future.
Short but cherished time in London
July 05, 2026by: Ashley Kan - ChinaAlthough my time in London was brief, I met incredible people who turned what could have been a lonely trip into something truly special. I left wishing I could stay longer and already planning to return. It is an experience I will treasure for a long time to come.
Go abroad!
July 03, 2026by: Jake Maestas - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The Intern Group provided me with a memorable experience in Madrid, Spain, from which I learned professional, social, and intercultural skills. The activities organized allow interns to meet their peers and make friends for life. We are currently planning our next trip together! If you like exploring, plan trips for every weekend because you won’t have the time during the week between work and outtings with friends. My onboarding experience with TIG was also great because they were patient with me wanting to find the best fit for my field of study. What is your advice to future travelers on this program? Find a balance between planning ahead and living in the moment because there is a lot to take your time with in Madrid, but lots of amazing things to see nearby for an affordable price!

July 02, 2026by: Zené Jacobs - South AfricaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My internship abroad has been the best experience and opportunity! The Intern Group has made it so easy and fun. I felt supported through the entire journey. Would definitely recommend! Also having roommates who are also doing internships has made it so much easier. We did a lot together and really created strong bonds. The Intern Group also made an effort in planning social events with all fellow interns and we got a chance to meet and get to know everyone. The housing was also super neat and had everything we needed.

Great experience
July 01, 2026by: Juan Sebastian Piedrahita Rojas - ColombiaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Madrid is the perfect place to immerse yourself into a great culture, with lovely people, nice food, great support form the program and a meaningful work experience.

My life-changing trip to London
May 30, 2026by: Jacob Ross - United StatesMy intern abroad experience in London was absolutely incredible. I grew so much, both professionally and personally.

Alex was my primary Intern Group leader and he was absolutely fantastic.
Taking the Leap ✈️🇪🇸❤️📦
May 21, 2026by: Brandy Garcia - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
In November 2025, I decided to take the biggest leap of my life and give myself less than two months to move to the city where my soul truly feels at home: Madrid. I wanted to grow both personally and professionally, immerse myself in a new culture, and challenge myself in ways I never had before and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The three months I spent there felt like an absolute dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The Intern Group truly sets you up for success by providing guidance, professional development, cultural immersion, and a strong support system that allows you to thrive both inside and outside of the workplace. Lalita and Corinne were absolutely amazing in helping build a home away from home. They set up the best group activities where I made the most amazing friends whom im still in touch with and already planning a reunion trip with 🫶🏼 Beyond gaining valuable international work experience, I built confidence, independence, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Living and working in Madrid gave me a completely new perspective on life, business, and myself. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best possible way and strengthened my passion for international business, hospitality, and global connections. This experience was far more than just an internship — it was a period of growth, self-discovery, and transformation that I will carry with me forever. I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity and would encourage anyone considering taking a leap abroad to do it without hesitation. Post Internship: Im happy to announce that ill be moving full time to Madrid starting September 2026 to study and continue living the dream ❤️🇪🇸

the chance to grow
May 19, 2026by: James Thunstrom - United KingdomThe experience I got from my time at work was incredible. I learnt so many new skills in my industry and felt as if the work I was doing meaningfully contributed to the company. But beyond work I felt living alone in London let me grow as a person. I had so many unforgettable experiences that wouldn't have been possible without The Intern Group. I have made friends for life!
Good learning experience
May 15, 2026by: Rodney Joronirina - FinlandThe internship is a good way to meet and network with people. You not only gain social skills, but also develop skills in your designated profession or field. As a bonus, you also get to experience a new city and it’s culture.
I grew a lot!
May 11, 2026by: Maria Jose de Guadalupe Pio Flores - MexicoProgram: Virtual/Remote Global Internships Through The Intern Group
An excellent experience for my development as a digital designer, where I was able to learn new things and introduces my skills in the best possible way. I learned a lot about augmented reality and I hope it allows me to find a suitable job.
Unforgettable experience!
May 07, 2026by: carolina tur pronk - NetherlandsI had an amazing time in London. The programme was fantastic, giving me the opportunity to make lots of new friends while exploring the city.

Interning in Film & TV in London
May 07, 2026by: Eva Matzinger - SwitzerlandI had the incredible opportunity to intern in Film & TV production in London. During my internship, I assisted the production company with administrative tasks and supported the overall post-production process of a feature film that they are planning to release soon. It was amazing to be surrounded by such a welcoming and talented team, and they taught me so much about what goes into making a film and how it is successfully marketed and sold within the industry. Overall, the internship programme was a fantastic experience. The intern group also organised great social events, including a theatre visit that I absolutely enjoyed. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, and I made some great friends along the way. This experience has given me valuable insight into the Film & TV industry and has further strengthened my passion for working in production.

I had a great time of my life!
April 07, 2026by: Claudy Docteur - United StatesProgram: Virtual/Remote Global Internships Through The Intern Group
During my internship, I contributed to a sustainability project focused on improving environmental performance and supporting responsible business practices. I assisted with research, data collection, and analysis related to sustainability initiatives, including carbon management and resource efficiency. This experience allowed me to better understand how organizations integrate sustainability strategies into their operations. The internship strengthened my analytical, research, and problem-solving skills while giving me practical exposure to sustainability reporting and environmental impact assessment. Overall, the project highlighted the importance of sustainable practices in promoting long-term organizational and environmental well-being. Claudy Docteur
I had my 4-week internship in-person in New York
April 03, 2026by: Lam Nguyen - VietnamProgram: 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.

No regrets, just memories
April 02, 2026by: Vincent Thornton - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I would honestly recommend this experience to anyone who asked. From work to free time I had so much fun and such unique experiences. I interned with a company called Align Consultancy and Agency, a business to business sales company. I was the first intern they had that did calls and I was so glad that from day 1 they threw me into the deep end and made me make calls. It immediately boosted my confidence and I learnt much quicker. I do also want to say that although they pushed me right into the calls, they were always there to help and I never felt like I was abandoned to the work. The people at Align were also really fun and welcoming. If you have a chance I would highly recommend working with them. Now, for the free time. I consider myself very lucky to have the group I had. From those who arrived with me and those already there, everyone was so welcoming. I didn't have an issue with a single person and never felt left out. I was glad that there was another group that had been there before I arrived so they could show me around this city and all the best places to go out. I consider them all my friends and will do for years to come. You will meet new people and make new friends who without this experience you would never have ever interacted with. It will make you a more self confident person and give you memories you'll look back on forever. I will forever love Dublin and miss the people I met there.
I had a great time!
April 02, 2026by: Lucrecia Villarreal - United StatesI had a great time in London with the intern group! I learned a lot about myself and my work ethic, and my likes and dislikes. I loved to experience traveling and seeing Europe in for the first time! Overall it was a great experience!
Once in a Lifetime Opportunity
April 01, 2026by: Maggie Trail - United StatesI had an incredible time interning in Medellín for two months with a company called Conaltura, a leader in sustainable construction and real estate across Latin America. The people I met were warm, driven, and open, I made lasting friendships, and will take a multitude of fun memories back home with me. I can’t recommend Medellín enough. The city has a contagious momentum, a lively arts and music scene, fresh food, great weather, and biodiversity unlike anywhere I’ve ever visited. I felt both supported and challenged by this experience, many thanks to the Intern Group and Mariana. XOXO




Exactly what I was looking for
March 30, 2026by: Ali Abbas - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Madrid

Civil Engineering Internship in Madrid
March 25, 2026by: Denis Goloubev - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My 10 week program was an absolutely life-changing time of my life. Before choosing this program, I wanted a whole cultural experience, I wanted something new and I wanted to see a different side of the world. I had no expectations of what I was going to experience in Spain; I knew nothing about it, I didn't know how to speak Spanish, and I knew nobody going into it; and yet I can say this was the most life-changing experience I have had. I was placed with INES Ingenieros Consultores, a fascinating engineering consultancy with a specialisation in transport infrastructure and restoring built heritage. I was tasked to assist them with flood modelling for 4 different regions around Spain. The country is quite known for their flooding from its mountainous geography so it was quite fascinating to see the focus on construction and infrastructure assets. The company also showed me the different projects they worked on and different contracts they have with clients regarding asset management, consulting, and design services which was very insightful. My co-workers were very friendly and advised me a few times with their day-to-day lives and general travelling around Spain. My mentor was very smart and experienced in his field and I learnt a lot from his teachings. Overall the work was a 10/10 experience, it's a vast contrast to the work I've experienced in Australia and I feel quite accomplished having done this internship. I felt motivated most days to come into work and learn from the opportunities they provided me with. From visiting the historical villages and getting to know different people from various backgrounds, this program was an absolute pleasure for organising events to meet other interns and see the main parts of Madrid. The organisers were extremely helpful and provided valuable insights with travelling. I've made lifelong global friends with this program with different backgrounds, and absolutely want to visit their home countries. I was very happy with the hospitality provided by this program. In terms of Spain itself, it was an absolutely insightful experience to travel around the country. Weekends were an opportunity to explore different cities around Spain, to see its unique landscapes and explore the night-life of Madrid. Madrid is quite famous for its night-life, and its no disappointment; the streets felt safe, the music and culture is lively, and I'm quite happy to have seen this. For an adventurous and outdoorsy person, Spain is definitely on top of the list to visit. Hiking is plentiful and quite rewarding in this country. From the famous Picos de Europa, Pyrenees Mountains on the French border, and even mountains just one hour north of Madrid; just the experiences were absolute eye gazing moments. The landscapes were lively and the animal-life was abundant even during the late-winter/early-spring season. For a historical and cultural person, everywhere in Spain is abundant with life and heritage. Stone structures are preserved throughout time, religion is a big part of Spain, and the food is most Spanish the further away from the city you go (from my experience at least). Overall, this solo adventure will forever be a big part of me and will sit deep in my heart. A huge thank you to The Intern Group Madrid Team for giving me this opportunity, for organising housing, events, and the internship itself; I will be forever grateful for the memories I've made on this journey and I will always want to return. It is such a lively country, suitable for almost everyone, and there will always be something to do in Spain. Hasta luego, España!



Great Experience interning in Dublin.
March 25, 2026by: matthew b - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Dublin is an amazing city with the best work and social cultures I have experienced. The experience coordinators here were so great at making us feel welcome and supported, additionally they fostered such a great group dynamic that left me with friends for life that I would not have made otherwise.
The best time!
March 25, 2026by: Natasha Bates - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had an amazing time abroad. My internship placement was amazing and was exactly what I needed and went right under my degree and career field. I had such an awesome time on trips and meets organized by the Intern group. Lucy and Laura did an amazing job. Overall, had a great experience, and this was my second time doing an internship through the Intern group.
A great experience
March 13, 2026by: Klaudijus G - LithuaniaMy six-month marketing internship with Interngroup was a great experience. I had the opportunity to further develop my creative skills, while working on a variety of marketing-related tasks. The Interngroup team were supportive and organised, which made it easy to settle in and get the most out of the programme. The intern events were a great part of the programme. It was an enjoyable way to connect with others and experience the city outside of work. Overall it was a delightful and valuable experience.
NGO Internship in Tokyo
March 09, 2026by: Grace Ferrari Callaghan - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The internship I completed in Tokyo was fantastic! Thanks to the Intern Group and all their support and provisions, I was able to undertake an engaging and fulfilling internship within one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world. The Intern Group were extremely skilled at analysing my resume, as based on my strengths, they suitably paired me with the NGO Seibo Japan, where I was able to grow and develop my skills and interests in marketing and fundraising. I would highly recommend taking part in an Internship with The Intern Group, and I can't wait until I return to Japan!
I had a great time!
March 06, 2026by: Kacia Stewart - United StatesI had a great time abroad! I enjoyed my internship placement, it was exactly in the career field I plan on going into. I also really enjoyed everything about living in London. Alex and Peach have been the best! They have been so helpful in answering questions and helping us along the way, and have facilitated great meet-ups. Overall, I had a really great experience with The Intern Group!
Thank you for your taking the time to leave a review, Kacia! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your internship placement and your time in London. Alex and Peach will be delighted to hear your feedback, and we’ll be sure to share it with them. Wishing you all the best in your future career!
It was all worth it!
March 05, 2026by: Ava Bach - United StatesThe process of coming to London was quite difficult and caused a fair amount of stress. While this wasn’t entirely the Intern Group’s fault, I do wish I had been given more time for the visa application and sponsorship process. By the time I received my sponsorship number after being connected with the visa company, it was already very close to the latest possible appointment I could get for my work visa. Having even an extra month for this process would make a significant difference and help reduce a lot of the stress involved. I absolutely love London and have been very happy with my overall experience here. My main concerns were that the accommodation was not exactly as it had been described during the acceptance stage, and that my internship workload was heavier than I expected for an unpaid role. The position felt closer to what would normally be considered a paid internship. However, I understand that this was the first time my placement organisation had worked with the Intern Group, so I recognise that this may have contributed to the situation. One of the highlights of this experience has been the support from Peach and Alex. They have both been incredible throughout the program. Alex is extremely friendly and approachable, and Peach is very knowledgeable and informative. Together they make a fantastic team. They have done a wonderful job making everyone feel welcome, and every question I’ve had since arriving in London has been answered quickly and thoughtfully. I feel very lucky to have had them as my advisors during this experience. Overall, my experience has been truly great, and I’m very sad to be leaving. Although there were definitely stressful moments before arriving and at times during the internship, I would not trade this experience for anything. It has been incredibly valuable both personally and professionally.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest feedback, Ava! We’re really glad to hear that you loved your time in London and that the experience was valuable both personally and professionally. We’re sorry to hear that the visa timeline and parts of the accommodation and internship expectations caused stress, and we truly appreciate you sharing this with us. Your comments are very helpful and will help us continue improving the experience for future interns, especially when working with new host organizations. It’s wonderful to hear how much support you received from Peach and Alex, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. We’re so happy they helped make your time welcoming and enjoyable. Thank you again for being part of the program, and we wish you all the best in your future journey!

Simply incredible
March 05, 2026by: Seb W - United KingdomI had an incredible experience with the intern group in London. From the very beginning, the team made me feel genuinely welcomed and supported, which made settling into a new city so much easier. The entire program was extremely well organised and clearly focused on helping interns get the most out of both their professional and personal experience. A special thank you has to go to Peach and Alex. They went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible experience. They were always approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me make meaningful progress in my career. Whether it was offering advice, organising opportunities, or simply checking in to make sure everything was going well, they made a huge difference to my time in the program. Because of them, I not only gained valuable professional experience, but I also truly fell in love with London. Their enthusiasm for the city and the community they built around the interns made the entire experience unforgettable. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to develop their career while experiencing life in one of the most exciting cities in the world. Thanks to Peach, Alex, and the whole team, my time in London is something I will always be grateful for. 🌍✨
Thank you for sharing, Seb! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a positive experience in London and felt welcomed and supported throughout the program. We’ll be sure to share your kind comments with Peach and Alex! We’re so glad they helped make your time in London both professionally valuable and personally unforgettable.

So much fun!
March 03, 2026by: Kyra Barth - United StatesI had a great time studying abroad! I loved Ibt Media and learned so much. I got great hands on experience, more than I ever thought I would. I had great bosses and they were so patient with me when I was first learning how everything worked.
We’re so happy to hear you had such a great experience, Kyra! It’s fantastic that you gained hands-on experience and felt supported by your team at IBT Media. We love seeing our interns grow in confidence and skills. We're looking forward to watching you grow further!
Architecture internship
March 03, 2026by: Josefa Vergara - ChileProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with The Intern Group in Madrid fully met my expectations, and I am leaving the city incredibly happy and grateful for everything I experienced. From a professional perspective, as an architecture student, one of my main concerns was finding an internship that truly matched my field of study. The Intern Group successfully placed me in a company that was well aligned with my academic background and professional interests. The company was relatively small, which, in my opinion, turned out to be a great advantage. On a daily basis, I received very personalized feedback on my work, and the work environment felt close and supportive. I never felt like “just another intern,” but rather like a valued member of the team. Regarding the language aspect, it was not a problem for me since Spanish is my first language and my internship was conducted in Spanish. However, the social side of the program was mainly in English, as interns come from all over the world. This actually became a great opportunity for me to practice and improve my English in a very natural way, which I truly appreciated. As for the accommodation, it was very good overall. The location was really good, well connected to public transportation and conveniently situated. One important thing to consider is that you may share the apartment not only with other interns from The Intern Group, but also with external tenants. If you are not used to living with people you don’t know, this is something to keep in mind. That being said, in my personal experience, living with other people was very positive. Living with other interns from the program also created a sense of community and support, it felt reassuring to have people going through the same experience under the same roof. Socially, I would say this is one of the strongest aspects of the program. There were always activities organized throughout the week, which made it very easy to meet other interns. I am leaving Madrid with great friendships and connections with people from all over the world, which is something I truly value. In conclusion, this is a very complete experience in all aspects, professional, personal, and social. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering doing an international internship. It has been an enriching experience that I will always look back on with appreciation.
Thank you for sharing, Josefa! We’re so glad your experience in Madrid was fulfilling both professionally and socially. It’s wonderful that your placement felt like the right fit and that you’re leaving with lasting friendships. We can't wait to see all you achieve next!
eye opening experience
February 25, 2026by: Abigael Conway - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Im so grateful that my university partners with the intern group because they did a phoenominal job at finding housing, giving us metro cards, hosting meetups, and always beting there during times of crisis.
Thank you, Abigael! It’s fantastic to hear that your experience with The Intern Group was so positive. From housing and metro cards to meetups and support when it mattered most, we’re so glad our team could be there for you every step of the way!
Loved every second of it
February 25, 2026by: Ashley Gamez - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with the intern group was incredibly helpful, especially as someone who had never done an internship abroad before. Moving to a new country and adjusting to everything can feel overwhelming, but they supported me through the entire process. They helped with the logistics, accommodation, and even getting my metro card, which made settling in so much easier and allowed me to focus on my internship. As a marketing graduate, I was able to learn new marketing skills and gain real-world experience in an international setting. At the same time, I also met amazing people and built friendships that I know will last a lifetime. What I appreciated most about this program was the balance between professional growth and social life. It wasn’t just about working—it was also about building connections, exploring a new place, and creating meaningful experiences. I’m very grateful for everything the intern group provided and for making this experience both valuable and memorable.
Thank you for sharing, Ashley! We’re so glad The Intern Group made your first internship abroad smooth and rewarding. It’s wonderful you gained valuable marketing experience, made lasting friendships, and explored a new country along the way!

Great internship experience
February 24, 2026by: Luise Dobrikat - GermanyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I signed ip for the Madrid programme expecting to get to work in an interesting company, meet amazing people and have a culturally enriching experience - and I was not disappointed. I was placed into a company that matched my skills and interests very well and enjoyed my tasks and work environment. The programme coordinators were always accessible and helpful. I really enjoyed the organised events and trips that brought everyone together and allowed us to see even places outside of Madrid. I would definitely recommend the experience and am very glad I decided to take part in it.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Luise! We’re so happy to hear that your time in Madrid was enriching both professionally and culturally.

Great time seeing a new city!
February 23, 2026by: Grace Lowy - United StatesI felt like there were endless things to do in London. Through my hybrid schedule, I was able to get to know locals at my work, get experience on my resume, but still explore on my days off. Unforgettable experience!
Thank you for sharing, Grace! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time in London, getting to explore the city while getting vital work experience. We can't wait to see what's next for you!
A smooth and rewarding internship experience in Madrid
February 18, 2026by: Benyahia MohammedProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had a great experience with The Intern Group in Madrid. From the beginning, the team was supportive, responsive, and clear about each step. They checked in regularly, helped me feel settled, and made the overall process smooth and stress-free. I improved my professional skills, gained confidence, and met amazing people.

Amazing opportunity!
February 18, 2026by: Victor Granda Zúñiga - ChileProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with The Intern group was excellent. I took the Madrid program in an IT-related role. The whole matching process was great felt really supported by the company and the whole team tried their best to meet my expectations. When I arrived in Madrid had a wonderful experience in my job, I was really happy with my role and all the activities that Corinne suggested, also felt really supported by Lalita in everything I needed. I definitely recommend this program and company, thanks!

A vibrant, heartwarming and impactful experience interning in Colombia
February 17, 2026by: Eva van Stekelenburg - NetherlandsMy internship working for the government in Colombia was an incredibly meaningful and intellectually enriching experience. I had the opportunity to work on research related to the environmental treatment of gold mine tailings from the Bajo Cauca region, an issue that sits at the intersection of environmental sustainability, public policy, and regional development. From day one, I felt welcomed by my warm colleagues. The organization provided a strong balance between autonomy and guidance, allowing me to conduct in-depth research as well as discuss issues with the head if mining at the office. It was a phenomenal, tangible experience. The work was both challenging and impactful, as it addressed real environmental concerns affecting communities in Antioquia. I couldn't have wished for better! Alongside doing research my colleagues also made sure I always joined them to the food markets and try their local cuisine, they made me feel so at home. My research into solutions for gold mine tailings (including environmental remediation strategies, regulatory frameworks, and sustainable mining transitions) gave me insight into how local governments navigate complex socio-environmental issues. It was especially valuable to see how policy, science, and economic realities must align to create viable long-term solutions for regions like Bajo Cauca.. Beyond the technical knowledge I gained, the internship deepened my understanding of governance in Latin America and the role of regional institutions in driving environmental progress. Medellín itself is also such a vibrant, dynamic and innovative city, which made the experience even more inspiring. I highly recommend this internship to anyone interested in environmental policy, sustainable development, or public sector research. It is an opportunity not only to learn, but to contribute to meaningful change. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful reflection. Eva! We’re so glad your experience in Medellín was both intellectually enriching and personally meaningful. Contributing to environmental research impacting communities in Bajo Cauca is no small achievement, and it’s great to hear how supported and welcomed you felt by your team. We’d happily welcome you back anytime!
Such an amazing experience
February 09, 2026by: Faith Mulievi - KenyaPeach and Alex ensured that we all had a vibrant community during my stay with the weekly hangouts. I really enjoyed the events they organized. They also were very supportive with inquiries during my stay in London.
Thank you for sharing, Faith! We’re so happy to hear that Peach and Alex helped create such a vibrant community for you. It’s great to know you enjoyed the weekly hangouts and felt supported throughout your stay in London. We can't wait to see what you do next!
Wonderful Internship & Experience!
February 04, 2026by: Kristina Litwina - PolandProgram: Internships in New York
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!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Kristina! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the support, accommodation, and activities, and that the Whitney Museum trip stood out as a highlight. We're looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Great time in bad weather
February 03, 2026by: Francesco Marra - ItalyI had a great time during my internship at Zencargo. They provided me with opportunities to work on projects I'm interested in, and helped facilitate my learning. I got to learn more skills in Web and app development, which are skills I had limited experience in as a data scientist who primarily worked with isolated code and data.
So glad to hear this, Francesco! It's great to know you learned new skills and enjoyed your internship placement. Wishing you all the best in your career!
London is cool:)
February 02, 2026by: Katharina Hörsch - GermanyI started my internship last October and it's been really cool so far! Of course some things weren't exactly as l expected but I have been wanting to move to London for years and this has been an amazing opportunity to get to know the city:). My favourite part about the internship are all of the social events! I got to go to the dinner & theatre night twice and both times have been so great. Peach and Alex, the London coordinators, also organise social meet-ups sometimes: we’ve done a few pub crawls, a Halloween Jack the Ripper tour and a thanksgiving dinner party. It’s super fun and an amazing way to meet the other interns and I’ve made some good friends!
Thanks so much for sharing, Katharina! We’re really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying your internship and making the most of life in London! It’s awesome that the social events helped you explore the city and make great friends. We’ll be sure to pass the kind words on to Peach and Alex too!
DO IT
January 12, 2026by: Joshua Yamane - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
This was one of the most transformative experiences I've ever had. I have always wanted to study abroad at university, but due to my circumstances, I was never able to. After graduation, I wanted to gain work experience, and I discovered The Intern Group. This was the perfect opportunity for professional development and an overseas experience. The work that I was doing led me to some pretty cool places, and I got to meet a lot of interesting and unique personalities. If you're considering something like this, I would tell you to do it. Keep in mind that it's what you make of it, and that can make your experience 10/10 or 0/10. The resources are provided for you to grow and learn, so go make the most of your time!
Thanksgiving in Madrid
December 24, 2025by: Elenah Timothy - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I interned in Madrid for one month and then finished my internship fir the second month remotely. It was literally so fun! It was my first time in Spain and even though it was fall It was thr perfect weather. The program did pretty much all of the work from finding my housing to organizing a ride from the airport so the trip was so smooth and laid out. They even organized trips for me to visit other parts of spain outside of Madrid. I got to spend thanksgiving in Europe and see some christmas lights which was absolutely beautiful. Even thoigh I was interning it literally felt like a well planned out vacation where I just had everything planned out for me! I loved it.
Thank you for sharing, Elenah! We’re so happy you loved your time in Madrid and that everything felt smooth, fun, and well organized by our team. Spending the holidays in Europe sounds magical, and we’re so glad we could be part of it!
Would re-live this experience 100 times over
December 23, 2025by: Jess Goff - AustraliaInterning in London was genuinely an amazing experience. The internship itself opened my eyes to the behind the scenes of marketing, I truly gained a real understanding of the role itself. As for the experience outside of the internship, I made close friends whom I was able to travel with and make life-long memories with. 10/10 would recommend
Thank you for sharing, Jess! We’re so glad you had such an amazing time in London, gained real insight into marketing, and made lifelong memories along the way. We can't wait to see all that's next for you!
Highly recommend the experience
December 12, 2025by: James Machado - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My time abroad was truly a great experience. I interned in Madrid which is a great city, I highly recommend interning here if you can. Furthermore, the people I met and worked with along the way were amazing and they made my time here extra special. The culture was awesome and I really enjoyed some of the events that the Intern Group puts on. They are a great way to meet a bunch of new people from many different walks of life and the events themselves are really fun. They also provide insider information about Madrid that will help to visit other places in the city that might not have been on your radar or on your list to visit had it not been for these events. The nightlife in the city is spectacular but if that’s not your thing there are so many different things to do in Madrid I honestly would find it hard to believe that somebody couldn’t love it. I only experienced two drawbacks during my time in Madrid that had to do with the Intern Group. Firstly, I along with others I know experienced gaps in communication in regards to move-in dates, problem solving, and other administrative stuff. Support staff often took very long to respond to general questions and urgent emails alike which made it very frustrating to try and problem solve if something were to come up. Furthermore, there were issues here and there with housing but overall the housing I was placed in was great. Again, I highly recommend studying abroad through an internship, whether it be in Madrid or elsewhere. I think an internship gives the unique experience of having a job instead of being in school and prepares you for a professional working environment in ways that nothing else could, especially not a semester of school.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, James! We're thrilled you loved Madrid, your internship, and the community you found through our events. We appreciate your honest feedback on communication and housing and are working to improve. We're glad your time abroad was meaningful, and we wish you all the best in your next adventures!
Adventure of a Lifetime
December 09, 2025by: Zerina Muftic - Bosnia & HerzegovinaI found out about The Intern Group through my university, and I wanted to give an internship in London a shot, as I was taking a gap year after getting my Bachelor's degree. I tried to have very few expectations going into it, as I was afraid of getting disappointed in one way or another. I am happy to say that the experience I had with this programme would have exceeded even the highest of expectations I could have had. The pre-programme process was as smooth as it could be, with only some minor bumps along the way. Finding my host company was fun, and I made the right choice in the end. Our accommodation, albeit pricy, was very clean, and the staff were helpful and friendly. My flatmates were some of the most amazing people I've ever met, and I genuinely believe that I found lifelong friends in them. The internship brought lessons that I will take into my future career. Most of all, my coworkers and manager were incredibly patient and taught me so many things, both work-related and not. From the beginning, I felt welcomed. Everyone treated me with the utmost respect, as if I had been an employee there for years and not just an intern. Our coordinators were the sweetest people ever, and I honestly couldn't have wished for better people to support my London experience. The social events were always fun, and I loved meeting the other interns. I made some good friends (and memories) along the way! If I could, I would relive it all over again. I've grown, both personally and professionally, for the better. Overall, 10/10 would recommend, both for the CV boost and for the sillies :)
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review, Zerina! We’re thrilled to hear that your London internship experience exceeded your expectations. It’s amazing to know that you connected so well with your host company, flatmates, and coordinators, and that you made friendships and memories to last a lifetime. Wishing you all the best in your next steps!

My summer internship in Madrid.
November 02, 2025by: Victoria Bauernfeind - GermanyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
This summer I decided to do a 6 week internship in Madrid. I did my internship at a small company in the area of social media marketing and website design. Overall I had a very good working experience and I really enjoyed my team and co workers. My internship also was 100% on site and not remote, which I actually enjoyed. It was nice to go to work every day and to have a routine, especially when you are in a new city and don’t know so many people yet. I also had another intern with me at my office, which I enjoyed a lot. I really enjoyed Madrid as a city. I‘m from Europe and have already been in most capital cities but in my opinion Madrid is one of my favourite ones. The city is very safe, clean and beautiful and there’s a lot to do in your free time.
Thank you for sharing, Victoria! It sounds like you had a wonderful time in Madrid and we're so glad you enjoyed the city and your internship placement. We can't wait to see what you do next!

2025 Tokyo Internship Through TIG
October 15, 2025by: Andrew Fitzgerald - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
In Summer 2025 I completed an 8 week internship in Tokyo through The Intern Group. They were very helpful with the placement and I feel like they really listened to my thoughts on finding the right place for me. I ended up interning for an amazing company in central Tokyo and met some great people. I also really appreciate the scheduled meetups and excursions around Tokyo outside of my internship that were planned and operated by the TIG experience coordination team in Tokyo. It really helped me to meet other people in the same situation as me and I made some great friends and memories. Overall my experience with The Intern Group was amazing and exceeded my expectations.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Andrew! We’re thrilled your Tokyo internship exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed the placement, events, and new friendships. So glad you had an amazing time and we can't wait to see what you do next!

September 30, 2025by: Milena Tyszka - PolandI had a great time in Colombia. I loved everything. The job I was doing and all the social events were organized by The Intern Group. Colombia is so beautiful that I decided to stay longer. I think Colombia was my perfect match. I think The Intern Group knew me better than I do and they recommended Colombia.

A transformative internship in New York: Film, Marketing, and Cultural Growth
September 28, 2025by: Carlos Jose Lopez Tort - MexicoProgram: Internships in New York
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.

An Amazing Experience!
September 18, 2025by: Elissa Gee - CanadaI had the most amazing time during my internship in Colombia, I loved the work I did there and felt so accomplished in my placement. My coordinator Mariana was the most amazing person and we were so lucky to have her to help, she was so willing to assist with all issues and planned such amazing excursions. My experience was so life changing and has made it so clear to me that I want to continue to travel in my life.

An Unforgettable Experience
September 15, 2025by: Sarah Reichart - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Intern Group’s 3 month internship abroad in Madrid this summer. This experience was my first time traveling abroad, and I was a little nervous; looking back I cannot see why. Not only were the city and people incredible, but the internship was enlightening and beneficial. I honestly cannot recommend this program enough. The skills I learned through my internship and the bonds I made were invaluable.
Thanks for sharing, Sarah! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Madrid and your nerves were quickly put to rest. We can't wait to see how your new skills translate into your future career!
Eye-opening adventure
September 15, 2025by: Tian Liu - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
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
Thanks for sharing, Tian! It sounds like you had a fantastic time in New York, gaining professional experience and meeting wonderful new people. We can't wait to see what you do next!

More than just an internship
September 04, 2025by: Richard Hart - New ZealandInterning in Medellín for 12 weeks through the Intern Group was a wonderful experience. While the internship itself was not the most demanding of placements, I still gained valuable insights into a different industry, and it was a great way to experience the work culture of another country and meet local people. Whatever shortfalls there were in the actual internship itself, they were well and truly made up for by the cultural learnings and the social connections made through the program. Huge kudos to the Colombia Intern Group team for always looking out for all the interns and organising so many social activities to get to know other interns and to feel right at home in a new country.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Richard! It's amazing to hear you enjoyed your time in Medellin and gained valuable professional insights at the same time. We're looking forward to seeing how your career flourishes!
I thought I was going to hate it, I was so wrong, I loved it
September 04, 2025by: Elizabeth Rogers - CanadaAs the title said, after completing all the sign up requirements I questioned why I was doing it. I had such extreme homesickness before I even left, but being in Colombia was the best thing for me. M & V were the best, I made real friends with the other interns and I got to go and have an experience I would have never considered for myself. Colombia is beautiful, the people are amazing, being back home now I miss it and my friends so much. This experience was worth it.
Thanks for sharing, Elizabeth! It's amazing to hear you enjoyed your time in Colombia so much and your nerves were quickly eased by the fantastic people in Medellin and our on-the-ground team. We can't wait to see you continue to develop professionally following this experience!



Madrid Exceeded All My Expectations

My experience in Madrid far exceeded my expectations. From beginning to end, the Intern Group team was incredibly supportive and welcoming. My internship provided a valuable opportunity for professional growth, and the activities organized by the Intern Group (like trips to Segovia, Toledo, and various spots around Madrid) were both enriching and fun. I’m leaving this program not only with meaningful work experience but also with lifelong friendships. If you’re considering an internship and aren’t sure where to go, I highly recommend choosing Madrid!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Sofia! We're thrilled to hear that your time in Madrid exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed both your internship and the cultural activities. We're wishing you continued success in all that you do!

Unforgettable Internship Experience in London
August 27, 2025by: Dana Anabekova - KazakhstanMy internship abroad at KKCL Harrow School in London was an incredible opportunity that allowed me to gain valuable professional experience while living in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. As an Operations Assistant, I was able to take on real responsibilities, work closely with an international team, and develop skills in organization, problem-solving, and communication. The supportive environment at the school gave me confidence and encouraged me to learn from every challenge. Outside of work, I enjoyed discovering London’s cultural diversity, history, and vibrant lifestyle, which made the experience even more enriching. This internship helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to expand their horizons and gain hands-on experience abroad.
Thank you for sharing, Dana! It sounds like you had an amazing time during your placement in London and got plenty of valuable experience. We're glad to know you loved London's culture and grew in so many ways. We can't wait to see what's next for you!

BEST DECISION I’VE EVER MADE
August 27, 2025by: Gabriella Goring - United KingdomI loved every day of my internship, the events at the workplace and those organised by the intern group were incredible. I felt welcomed and encouraged to learn, interact and grow as a person and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better supervisor than Marianna, who taught me so much about Colombia, organised fun cultural events and encouraged me to do some exploring on my own. I always felt I could come to her with any problems and questions, which made the transition into a totally new country and culture exciting. The city was electric with so much to see and do, so many creative passionate people to connect with. The landscape is breathtaking, a definite highlight was exploring the smaller neighbouring towns with gorgeous nature walks, waterfalls and natural pools. I would 100% recommend an internship in Medellin- learn some spanish, eat absolutely everything! and just be one with your surroundings. I found people were excited to share their culture when you make the effort to learn and truly listen to them. I am so grateful for this experience and the person I have become because of it.
It looks like your time in Colombia was amazing, Gabriella! Thank you for sharing your experience - we're glad to know you enjoyed your internship placement, cultural activities, and felt so supported by our team. We're wishing you all the best for your future!

6 month engineering internship in madrid
August 23, 2025by: Aiden Murphy - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I was a rising senior studying engineering when I decided to apply to The Intern Group. They set me up with a company that corresponded to exactly what I was looking for in terms of work experience. All the other interns were very cool and feel that I can reach out after. Insanely sweet experience with the only negative I experienced being the prearrival information. The interview and finding company process was stressful but after that it was a very good experience and would definitely do it again.
Thank you for your feedback, Aiden, we really appreciate it! We're glad to hear your experience with us in Madrid was a positive one and you enjoyed your internship placement and making plenty of new friends. We can't wait to see where this takes you next!

Amazing Cultural, Professional and Social Experience!
August 18, 2025by: antonia baudoin - United StatesI worked at an art/film archive/licensing company this summer. I learned a lot about myself in a creative and professional sense. I loved my job and team since I felt immediately welcome and immersed in the company’s culture. In terms of my experience with the city, I also loved London. Peach and the team here made me feel very comfortable, safe and supported. It was all amazing!
Thank you for sharing, Antonia! We're thrilled you enjoyed your placement, enjoyed your time in London, and found our team to be so supportive. We're looking forward to following all you do next!
GO TO DUBLIN!
August 14, 2025by: Lilly Wellons - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I absolutely loved my experience living, studying, and working in Dublin. Ireland was the perfect choice for my study abroad. It felt exciting and enriching without ever being overwhelming or intimidating. Dublin is filled with so many cultural, historical, and fun landmarks and sites that you will never be bored and there are more than enough social opportunities to get involved in. The intern group really helped us get integrated not only into Dublin’s social scene but into life across Ireland as a whole. Through the program, I took a trip to the Cliffs of Moher, tried an Irish dancing class, explored museums, and joined other interns for everything from movie nights to literary pub crawls. These experiences brought us closer together and made my time in Ireland truly unforgettable. As an internship location, Dublin has so many unique and interesting companies and organizations that you can be placed in with the benefit of getting to work in an English speaking environment. I found this to be extremely valuable because I got the opportunity to get a global working experience without ever feeling the pressures of a language barrier. Overall I highly recommend choosing Dublin as your global internship placement and experiencing it through the intern group made it even better!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Lilly! We’re thrilled to hear that Dublin was exciting and welcoming, and that you enjoyed the mix of cultural events and professional growth. We’re so glad your time in Ireland was unforgettable, and we can't wait to see what you do next!
Buisness Development Intern
August 13, 2025by: Reagan Wicklow - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a fantastic time here in Dublin. It's a great city to live in if you want to have the accessibility of a big city without the stress of a daunting, hugely busy urban environment. Living in the UCD Village was lovely--it was clean, new, and had great amenities (gym, grocery store, kitchen, cleaning service--thank you!). Also, the long daylight hours during the summer made it easy to make the most out of your days here. In terms of the placement, it wasn't what I was expecting, nor what was in my contract, but I ended up liking it more. My contract described prospecting, outreach, and client management, but I instead ended up doing social media, graphic design, photography, and creative writing. I'm glad, honestly, but some advice I would give myself would be to ask more questions during the interview to get a full understanding. Seems obvious, but I was nervous and sort of blacked out a little. I can't really remember what they said I'd be doing! Of course, your preferences and demonstrated abilities can shape what you do, which has the potential to reroute your experience for the better. Finally, the program coordinators were helpful, primarily during the preparation for the program, but were also very involved later on and during events, which was great. Honestly, the prepration is the more involved part. I would do this again and recommend Dublin to others!
Thank you for sharing your time in Dublin with us, Reagan! It's great to hear you enjoyed the city and your internship placement. It's also fantastic to know our Experience team had a great impact on your time on program. We can't wait to see what you achieve next!
10/10 recommend London!

Eye-Opening Experience Abroad
August 06, 2025by: Abhijay Edavalapati - United StatesInterning abroad was truly life-changing. I immersed myself in a new culture, learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, and built deep connections with people from around the world. Every day brought something new: whether it was trying local food, exploring historic landmarks, or engaging in meaningful conversations. I grew personally, academically, and professionally. This experience expanded my worldview and gave me a greater appreciation for cultural diversity and independence. I highly recommend going abroad to anyone seeking growth, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
Thank you for telling us about your experience in Colombia, Abhijay! It sounds like your time in Medellin was incredibly enriching and rewarding in so many ways. We're looking forward to seeing you continue to flourish personally and professionally!
Treated like family
August 05, 2025by: Matthew Davidorf - United StatesI had the pleasure of securing an internship through the Medellín chapter of The Intern Group and will be forever grateful I did so. The work was great, and the group was really brought together by the organization’s wonderful on-the-ground team. Vale and Mariana cared about each of us like family and ensured everyone had the best experience possible, no matter the comfortability level out of our native countries. I cannot emphasize and recommend the quality of this program enough :)
Thank you for sharing, Matthew! It's great to hear you enjoyed your internship placement in Colombia and felt supported by our on-the-ground team. We can't wait to see where you go from here!
The Greatest Adventure I've Been On Yet
August 01, 2025by: Alexa Gallagher - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My time in Madrid was the best thing I've ever chosen to do, both professionally and personally. I learned so much about myself through the work experience, as well as the social experiences with some of the greatest people I've ever met. Having some of our events planned for us was fantastic and put me at ease, but also having the space to plan my own trips was wonderful. I had a really flexible internship that also allowed for me to explore and live out my abroad experience as well. I loved my accommodation, it was so nice to have a place I could call home. I greatly appreciate everything The Intern Group set up for me to make my experience in Madrid as easy as possible, and now I feel ready to take on even more abroad experiences in my future!
Thank you for sharing, Alexa! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time in Madrid from the placement itself to the accommodation and social/cultural events planned by our team. We're looking forward to seeing all you achieve following this program!
¡Una experiencia increible!
July 31, 2025by: Mathias Thyssen - BrazilProgram: International Internships in Madrid
As the title suggests, this internship experience in Madrid was incredible for me. The role I was matched with for the company aligns with my major and fits well with what I want to do in the future. I tried to get a solid internship experience without having to do the whole "study abroad classes" thing with my university, and this met the mark. I was able to learn a lot more about the Spanish language as well as the culture. I felt like I was able to connect back with my Spanish roots and family from here in Spain. This internship also works well regardless of whether you have already visited Europe before, live in another European countries, or if this is your first time. Something that was positively surprising was that I was also able to form deep connections with the other interns in the program, and I know that they will go beyond our time here. The organized events were additionally great opportunities to learn more about Spanish history/culture as well as connect with others.
Wow, thank you for sharing, Mathias! It sounds like your internship program experience in Madrid was incredibly enriching. We can't wait to see how you flourish throughout your studies and career!
Grandioso! :D

My experience in Madrid
July 15, 2025by: Leopold Christian Zekeng - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with the Intern Group in Madrid was amazing. I was very fortunate to have been accomodated, in an apartment as nice as the one i was provided. The Intern Group staff was always at our disposal to help us with an question or difficulty we could be experiencing. I was given an amazing company, named Adamo Robot and gained valuable Business experience from everyday interaction. All staff members were extremely friendly and i was made to feel part of the team from day one. I would recommend the Intern Group to anyone looking to gain hands-on work experience in a foreign country, guided by an excellent profesional team.

The Experience of a Lifetime
April 10, 2025by: Aada K - FinlandProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My 10-week internship in Madrid was truly one of the best experiences of my life. I’m so glad I took the chance to go. It gave me valuable work experience, helped me grow, and really boosted my confidence. Saying yes to new things and stepping out of my comfort zone made the experience truly rewarding. My workplace, supervisor, and colleagues were absolutely amazing – I couldn’t have hoped for a better internship placement. I learned so much and finally had the chance to apply the skills I developed at university to real projects. It turned out to be so much more than just an internship. Along the way, I met incredible people and made friendships and memories that will stay with me forever. I highly recommend this kind of experience to anyone thinking about it – you won’t regret it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Aada. It sounds like your time on-program in Madrid was beneficial in so many ways and we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed it professionally and personally. It was a joy to have you and we can't wait to see all you achieve!
An incredible experience!
March 27, 2025by: Shannen Barns - New ZealandFrom the professional growth, the cultural insights, to the friends I made, my time in Medellin was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! I gained many transferrable skills during my internship and made many connections that will be valuable in my future career journey. The Intern Group organised many different cultural activities, so there was always something to do on weekends. We explored the city and went to nearby towns like Guatape, to get a fully rounded Colombian experience. I loved learning all about the language, the food, the traditions and the way of life here. Medellin itself is a beautiful city, surrounded by mountains and full of lush greenery. There is something for everyone here - whether you like the outdoors, food, or parties, Medellin has it all! Mariana was fantastic as well, always going above and beyond her role as Experience Coordinator to make sure we had everything we needed and felt safe and supported. I will always look back on my time here fondly and recommend an internship in Medellin to anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and have the best time!
Thank you for sharing your experience in Medellin with us, Shannen! We loved hearing how much you enjoyed Colombia and gaining transferable work skills and exploring a new culture. We're also thrilled to know Mariana was such a positive part of your experience too! We're really looking forward to seeing what you do next and how you develop professionally and personally following this experience. We're wishing you all the best for the future!
Fantastic times!
March 19, 2025by: Lorenzo Bordonaro - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I joined the internship program for a 3 months program as an IT Internet in Delonia Software. The decision to join the Madrid Program was one of the best I could possibly take, not only because I had the opportunity in Delonia to explore a vast range of different topics and therefore make up my mind regarding the possible career choices in the IT field, but also because the Madrid program itself is extremely good! In Delonia I went on to explore different topics as penetration testing, networking as well as system administration,and all this within a very flexible work culture that allowed me to both look after my personal matters as well as investigate the different aspects of IT within Delonia. I for sure never got bored in Madrid because once the working hours are done I discovered the city offered an incredible array of events to attend. It has a vibrant community and if one is not careful it is very easy to find oneself in one event one day and the next as well! For sure it is a city that never sleeps and it is quite complementary with the work culture, which in my case was very relaxed as well. The program of visiting different cities and discover a diverse range of locations thanks to the efforts of the Intern Group team were also very useful, because I could discover places I'd never went to otherwise, because they laid outside the types of place I used to go to. Overall the experience has been so good that I decided to come back and live in Madrid. It is a great city to live in and offers a great culture to explore!
Thank you for sharing your experience in Madrid, Lorenzo! It sounds like you had a fantastic time during your internship and benefited from the career growth and cultural exploration - which is precisely what we strive for. We're excited for your future career and can't wait to see what's next for you!
Incredible Hong Kong internship
March 10, 2025by: Zach Slater - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I had an amazing time working for an NGO in Hong Kong during my Gap Year. TIG helped me find a host who suited my needs and interests perfectly. The social events that TIG ran during my time here were always well planned and fun and provided me with an avenue to experience activities and events in the city I wouldn't have found otherwise. There's a strong sense of community with the other interns and I would recommend the Hong Kong programme specifically for anyone wanting to look for a really special city to stay in. Genuinely one of my favourite things I've done.
Thanks for sharing, Zach - this has made our day! It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed your time in Hong Kong and found your internship placement to be the perfect fit. We're looking forward to seeing your career grow from here and wish you all the best for the future!

I had an amazing experience in Madrid, I loved my internship, got to live in the center of city, and met so many people from countries all around the world. While having the opportunity to work with kids through my internship and explore the city of Madrid were highlights of my time abroad, the excursions and events hosted by the Intern Group helped me form connections with people who shared my passion for travel, enhancing my experience beyond what I could have imagined. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in gaining internship experience in a new city or country. In my personal opinion, my internship allowed me to connect with people local to Madrid, making my experience more valuable than if I had only been taking classes.
Thank you for sharing, Olivia! It's amazing to hear your time on program with us in Madrid was so valuable professionally and personally. We're wishing you all the best with the future and you continue with your infectious passion for travel!

A Valuable Gap Year Experience with The Intern Group
January 07, 2025by: Lauren Kavenagh - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I recently completed an international internship in Dublin, Ireland through The Intern Group as part of my gap year before attending medical school. The Intern Group made sure I had everything I needed to succeed, from pre-arrival assistance to ongoing support throughout my internship. They also organized events that made it easy to connect with other interns and build lasting friendships. I was placed with an inspiring nonprofit organization, and the experience opened my eyes to new directions in my career path while deepening my passion for practicing medicine with a more global perspective. In addition to the professional growth, the cultural experience was truly unforgettable. Dublin is an incredible city with so much history, vibrant culture, and friendly people. It's also easy to travel and explore other parts of Ireland. I made lifelong memories and met amazing people from around the world. Overall, this internship was an invaluable experience, and I highly recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain international work experience!

I had a good time
December 31, 2024by: Annaleise Cummings - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
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.
Thank you for sharing, Annaleise! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your time on program with us in New York and got to visit DC. We're wishing you all the best for your future!

Best Kind of Way To Learn
December 31, 2024by: Jennifer Mwete - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
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.
Thank you for sharing, Jennifer! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time in New York, learned new skills for work, and were able to get out of your comfort zone. We're looking forward to seeing where you go from here!
I learned a lot
December 31, 2024by: Sorin Leo - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
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. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience in New York, Sorin! It's great to hear your internship program has given you plenty of skills and prep for your future career. We're looking forward to what you do next!
Incredible Internship Experience in NYC

Best experience in New York
December 21, 2024by: Muhammed Berikuly - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
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's great to hear you had such an incredible experience in New York with us, Muhammed! We're pleased you enjoyed your internship placement, the people you met, and that Brian was such a great influence too. We can't wait to see what you do next!
Internship in New York
December 20, 2024by: Yanapa Jingrukwong - ThailandProgram: Internships in New York
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.
Thank you for your feedback, Yanapa! We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your internship and made friends during your time in New York. Thank you for your sharing your thoughts on the accommodation too - this is very helpful for us. We're wishing you all the best for your future!
Memorable experience
December 20, 2024by: Cecilia Frignani - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
I had the time of my life and it was a great experience. I met lovely people and enjoyed the city by day and by night. Living in Ny has been a dream that came true. The only negative aspect is maybe the working schedule which was not always followed but I’ d definitely repeat it if I had the chance
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Cecilia! It's great to hear you enjoyed living in New York and would repeat the experience if you could. We're wishing you all the best for your future career!

Dublin
December 12, 2024by: Sophia Katosh - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Dublin is a city of friendly people and a vibrancy I’ve never experienced before. My time there is entirely unforgettable with the most beautiful Irish landscapes, colorful culture, amazing food, and wonderful people. I’d never felt so comfortable in a city on my own before. Not only this, but my placement for my internship was incredibly well suited to my goals and career objectives. I was so excited to visit Ireland, but the Intern Group truly made it an experience. My coordinators were fantastic at immersing us in the culture and providing guidance in a new city. I miss Ireland and the people I’ve met every day and will carry this experience with me through the rest of my life.
Thank you for sharing your experience in Dublin, Sophia! It's fantastic to hear you enjoyed the city so much and your internship placement was a great fir for you. We're wishing you all the best for whatever comes next for you!
Experience as Finance Assistant in NYC
December 02, 2024by: Marilda Aliko - AlbaniaProgram: Internships in New York
During my internship as a Finance Assistant at a company for finance on Broadway, I gained valuable experience, but it was a mixed journey. While the company itself was excellent, I found my direct supervisor a little bit unhelpful because he often assigned repetitive tasks instead of teaching me something new. However, the rest of the staff and colleagues were incredibly friendly and social, frequently inviting me to parties and events. The intern group staff was amazing, they were highly supportive, constantly checking in on us. Brian, our supervisor, was amazing and every Saturday, he organized sightseeing trips, creating unforgettable memories as we explored and enjoyed as a group. Meet up new friends and still meet up with them in London.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Marilda! We're happy to hear you gained valuable experience during your internship in New York, but we're sorry to hear you felt you weren't always taught something new. However, it's great to know your colleagues and TIG member, Brian, and your new friends helped to make this a joyful and unforgettable experience. We wish nothing but the best for you and your future and we can't wait to see what's next for you!


My First Professional Experience
December 02, 2024by: Luis Arturo Mendez Sandoval - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had the great privilege to work for 3 months in INES Ingenieros Consultores a consulting company in the construction industry. There I was working on a vulnerability study of the bridges in the community of Madrid analyzing the exposure and fragility variables of bridges against hydrometeorological phenomena, a very important task taking into consideration the DANA impacts on Valencia. Beyond the technical skills that I have developed, without a doubt I am left with the work skills. I was able to acquire new skills that I am sure will serve me not only in my professional facet but also in academic, personal, economic and even relationship development. I have learned the importance of asking, understanding, planning, acting and registering. Ask: any command, physical and/or theoretical concept, instruction within a procedure, ask about objectives. What is not asked sooner or later ends up coming to light in some way or another in failure mode. It's okay to fail, but you can save a lot of mistakes if you lose your fear of asking. Understand: I have learned to fully value the importance of understanding the purpose of each task before starting to do it, that is where the opportunities to be proactive are born, the opportunities to improve the work that is being done, to be able to optimize processes and finally transcend in the work that you are carrying out. Plan: 2 minutes of planning, save 15 minutes in execution. It's as simple as that. I knew that phrase but had never realized how true it is, especially when you work with models and simulations in engineering projects. Record: record both what goes well and what goes wrong in order to enter a process of continuous improvement that allows you to continue improving every day and establish a standard of excellence in any work you carry out. Another competence acquired was that of research. I have developed several techniques to be able to delve into scientific literature that can often be complicated by the complexity of such a technical language, but I have learned ways to learn to read faster. Learning to read effectively is undoubtedly a skill whose benefits have no limits. This experience has helped me to realize what I would like to focus my professional career on, before I saw myself in resilience projects and now I am clear that I am more passionate about the development of vulnerable communities through built infrastructure.
Wow, thank you for sharing, Luis! It's amazing to see and hear how much you've learned during your time in Madrid. We're also thrilled the experience has given you a better idea of what you're interested in when it comes to a career. We're sure your future is bright and we can't wait to see what's next for you!

Wonderful!

A life-changing experience in Tokyo!
December 02, 2024by: Roberto Ken Martina - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The Intern Group is an excellent stepping stone for young people who want to gain work experience in a new country. Thanks to the super kind and helpful TIG team, my experience in Tokyo was positive, motivating, fun, and above all, it gave me a clearer idea of the next steps toward my future. It’s not just a work experience but, above all, a life experience. The only downside of this experience is that once it’s over, you won’t want to go back home :)
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience in Tokyo, Roberto! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience so much and feel clear about your future. It's also wonderful to hear our staff were kind and helpful. Good luck with all you do next, Roberto!

Great passage of time to explore and experience abroad
November 23, 2024by: David Chau - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
the program has provided a decent schedule for not only the placement but also different platforms for interns to have chance to develop rapport and good relation with others. By immersing oneself in a different culture, individuals broaden their perspectives and develop a deeper appreciation for diversity. Professional development is accelerated as international work experience is gained, new skills are acquired, and professional networks are expanded.
Thank you for your review, David! We're glad the program in New York offered you a chance to learn new skills and immerse yourself in different cultures. We wish you all the best!
I had an amazing time
November 21, 2024by: Sebastian Rachid - ColombiaProgram: Internships in New York
LLooking back, NYC was an amazing experience, and I truly learned a lot about what it means to work in a USA-based company. However, I think sharing some feedback about the production company we worked with is important. While I’m grateful for the opportunities and connections I gained, the environment wasn’t ideal. Damon mentioned some issues that arose, and I’d encourage you to revisit what he shared. For me personally, we often didn’t have much to do and weren’t treated very kindly, which made the experience feel unproductive and, at times, discouraging. It wasn’t always the best introduction to the industry, but I’ve tried to focus on the positives and grow from it. I’d rather not have my name tied to any of the negative aspects, as I’m still thankful for the overall experience and everything I learned during the program. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your candid feedback about your time in New York, Sebastian! We're so glad you enjoyed your time in New York and learned a lot through the program. We will be taking yours and Damon's comments into consideration during future placements. We are wishing you all the best for your future career and can't wait to see what's next for you!
Incredibly informative and great overall experience
November 20, 2024by: Tusmo Yassin - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
During the duration of my internship I learned a lot of valuable skills and the intern group provided me with a wealth of experience. I worked for a non profit organisation, where I was able to gain an understanding of how an ngo operates and the ins and outs of operational management. I was able to gain a lot of transferable skills which prepared me for a career in public health and ngo related work.
It's amazing to hear you found your internship experience to be so valuable, Tusmo! Thank you for sharing your experience in New York and we can't wait to see where you go next in your career!
Good Opportunity
November 19, 2024by: Jaime Sanz - SpainProgram: Internships in New York
My intership experience was very good. It’s a great chance for people that are midway their carrier and it’s hard to find abroad internships. The inter group was very helpful with our social life outside the internship and gave us lots of chances to explore we were allocated at. The only problem I found was that in terms of internship opportunities there wasn’t a lot of options (or at least for me), and that while other interns in my company where paid I wasn’t.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment about your experience, Jaime! We're glad to hear you found the program and TIG staff helpful during your time in NYC. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee payment during your internship, but we hope the experience was worthwhile and beneficial to your future. We can't wait to see what comes next for you!
Best experience ever!
November 19, 2024by: Rosie Bullman - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
My internship was incredible! I managed social media accounts (for work) and developed creative content while living in New York City. Experiencing the city’s fast-paced, inspiring culture taught me adaptability and resilience. Exploring its energy and creativity made it truly unforgettable.
This is amazing, Rosie! We're so happy you enjoyed your time on program in New York and developed so many new skills. We wish you all the best for your future endeavours!
A memorable experience!

It was a good experience
November 18, 2024by: Tyler Leyva - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York

Loved my Melbourne Internship Experience
October 18, 2024by: N K - IrelandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I had a great time in Melbourne. I loved the culture, the food and most importantly the Melbourne program and the internship experience. I especially loved the wildlife tour as we got to see Australia's unique wildlife and spend time in the Mornington Peninsula. Overall, this was 100% worth it!
We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time in Melbourne. The wildlife tour is definitely one of our favorite activities too! It's fantastic to know you enjoyed your internship experience and we wish you all the best for your future!

Columbia was just amazing
October 17, 2024by: Kobimdi Idaboh - United StatesI had never been to Latin America before, so Colombia was my introduction. María, the experience coordinator, was just excellent; I don't think there is anybody else better at their job. I worked at Salazar Asesores and the work culture was so down to earth and family-like, which is exactly my type of vibe. In addition, Comuna Trece felt like a different universe, and I'm a foodie, and the food scene did not disappoint. Also, Medellín really is the city of eternal spring and I was just grateful to be there all the time. I was happy. Every single person was willing to help you. It was just amazing.
This has made our day, Kobimdi! We're so pleased you enjoyed your time on program with us in Medellin and had such a wonderful experience at your internship. It's also a joy to know Maria was so pivotal in your experience. We wish you all the best for your future and we can't wait to see what you do next!
A very informative experience
September 24, 2024by: Paige Wu - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
I learned a lot of practical skills at my internship and got a true taste of what working in the IT field is like. Before I had never thought of working in software engineer. Even when I was applying for roles in NY my top preference was finance. However, this internship made me rethink my options and shift my career goals to be more tech oriented because I enjoyed the experience so much. I learned more within 6 weeks than I would in a semester at school.
Thanks for sharing your experience in New York, Paige! It's great to hear this experience has given you a lot of learning opportunities and you have a better idea of what you enjoy doing in the workplace. We're wishing you all the best for your future endeavours!
Great experience!
September 23, 2024by: Jailyn Liberato - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The Intern Group were very accommodating and attentive. I spent two months in Madrid and throughout those two months Lalita and Nik were always making sure our internship was going smoothly and if we had any issues that would resolve as soon as possible. Nik is great! She really makes you feel like you are part of Madrid.
Thank you for telling us about your experience in Madrid, Jailyn! It's fantastic to know you felt so supported by Lalita and Nik during your two months in Spain. We can't wait to see what's next for you in your career!
Fantastic Experience In Melbourne
September 20, 2024by: Cameron M. - ScotlandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I had a fantastic time during my internship in Melbourne! The city’s café culture, great coffee, and vibrant, diverse community were highlights. Through The Intern Group, I made some amazing friends and had plenty of opportunities to learn and connect. My company turned out to be different from what I expected but in a really unique and positive way, which made the experience even more valuable. Perth, our experience coordinator, kept things fun and engaging throughout. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and I’m grateful for all the great people I met along the way.
It's fantastic to hear you had such a wonderful time in Melbourne, Cameron! We're so pleased that you enjoyed the culture and gained some valuable experience through your internship. We can't wait to see what's next for you!
Life changing internship in Hong Kong
September 03, 2024by: Emma Bowen - EnglandProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I recently completed an internship in Hong Kong for 7 weeks under the Intern Group. Their support was key for settling into the culture there and provided me with someone to talk to when the going got tough. Thanks to their support, I could thrive in a foreign country by meeting new people and working in a great company. I was able to experience so many new things thanks to them and these experiences will be invaluable to me in my life going forward. I could not recommend this internship more. It allowed me to grow in ways I never thought I could.
We're so pleased you found your internship experience in Hong Kong to be so valuable, Emma! It's great to hear you felt so supported by The Intern Group during your time and you've grown professionally and personally. We can't wait to see what's next for you!
My 10 Weeks Internship in Melbourne
September 02, 2024by: Neelay S - New ZealandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My 10-week internship was an incredible success. Entering the experience with an open mind allowed me to truly reap its full benefits. The people I met, the fun I had, and the overall opportunity were all amazing. I've made numerous new friends and grown significantly more comfortable with myself, both personally and professionally. I'm thrilled to have secured full-time employment from it and now truly feel like a Melbournian. And... I just have to give a huge shoutout to Perth. She was truly phenomenal. Always a friendly face and ready to chat whenever we needed her. Her caring nature and bubbly personality made everything feel so welcoming, and she really knows her stuff about the city and the intern lifestyle. The experiences she planned for us were fantastic. Her punctuality and communication were always on point, and the work-life balance she promotes is something I'll carry with me in my own journey. I’m really going to miss hanging out with her and all the fun times we shared.
It's amazing to hear you had such an incredible time with us in Melbourne, Neelay! It's especially wonderful to hear such wonderful praise about Perth and how supportive she's been. We're wishing you all the best with your new full-time role and can't wait to see how you develop professionally from here!
A learning experience for sure
August 29, 2024by: Sandli Chumber - IndiaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I learned alot about myself and my profession capabilities in this trip. I realised that being alone doesn’t have to mean something scary , and also how beautiful exploring other cultures can be. I made friends and I worked and it seemed perfect.
We're thrilled to know you had such a great time in Hong Kong, Sandli! We can't wait to see where this experience and the new things you've learned take you in your career!
Great overall experience in Bangkok, Thailand
August 20, 2024by: Luke Brennan - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
My experience traveling to Bangkok for my first solo excursion abroad was incredibly fulfilling and comfortable. I was fortunate to be placed in a job where my skills were relevant and well-utilized. The accommodations provided were excellent, and I appreciated the funded excursions organized by TIG. While my overall experience was positive, there are areas where the organization could improve. It seems the company is somewhat understaffed, which may impact its ability to fully support the number of interns it manages. During the placement process, I narrowly secured an internship that aligned with my career interests within the available time frame. The initial job opportunities presented to me did not align well with my professional goals, and the placement process felt a bit rushed. That said, I understand the challenges the organization faces, particularly with coordinating across multiple time zones and working within tight schedules. Despite these difficulties, once I arrived on-site, the program did an excellent job ensuring I felt comfortable and supported in adapting to a new country. In conclusion, while there are some challenges in the placement process, the on-site experience is highly rewarding, and I appreciate the efforts made by TIG to facilitate a positive and enriching internship experience.
It's amazing to hear you felt so comfortable in Bangkok, Luke! We're pleased to know you had such a positive and enriching experience during your time on program. We're sorry you found some elements less than perfect. There were some challenges during the placement process and we tried to place you in an organization where you would feel more comfortable. We're sorry there were points where you felt the opportunities didn't always align with your professional goals, which may have left your experience feeling a little self-taught. Despite this, we're glad you felt supported by TIG staff and you had a great time in Thailand. We're wishing you all the best for your future career!
F³ = Fun x Fulfilling x Fascinating
August 20, 2024by: Carter Novak - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
It was such a blessing to call Bangkok home for 8 weeks! This program was incredible and I've been able to make so many valuable connections throughout this journey. Unfortunately I seemed to get the short end of the stick when it came to the actual internship, as it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but everything outside of work was amazing. I feel like I got to do and see so much in Thailand, yet barely scratched the surface of what the beautiful country has to offer. TIG was very helpful; Jinnie put together events and weekly meet-ups for us to see different parts of the culture. This was a great experience overall, I'm glad I did it.
Thank you for sharing your experience in Bangkok, Carter! It's great to hear you enjoyed your time exploring the city and Jinnie was a positive influence. We're sorry to hear, however, you weren't fully satisfied with your internship placement. We will be using your comments to discuss the issues you've brought up with the host organization to improve things for future interns. We wish you nothing but the best for your future and we hope the experience you've had in Bangkok overall will be extremely valuable.
I love Hong Kong
August 20, 2024by: Autumn Buckley - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Interning in Hong Kong has been an incredible experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. It not only allowed me to travel, explore, and work in Asia for the first time, but it also gave me the chance to represent my accomplishments and the legacy of my historically Black college. Additionally, I was able to delve into the vibrant city and engage with the significance of humanitarian aid, which was made possible by the supportive intern group that I’m deeply grateful for.
It's wonderful to hear how valuable this experience was to you, Autumn! We're pleased you enjoyed your time in Hong Kong and managed to get some great views into humanitarian aid and how exciting the city is. We're wishing you nothing but the best for your future career!

Best summer of my life!
August 20, 2024by: Alex Hendey - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
My experience this summer has honestly been a dream come true with all of the new friends I’ve made, challenging work experience I’ve been put through and amazing new culture I’ve learnt about. The intern group staff were also a pleasure to connect with at all times, especially my experience co-ordinator Jinnie who made me feel welcome from start to end whilst setting up lots of really fun meet ups with other interns. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who’s interested in furthering their career whilst also having a meeting new people, learning new culture and just overall having a great time!
It's fantastic to hear you had such a great time with us in Bangkok, Alex! We're especially pleased to hear such glowing comments about Jinnie and hearing about the friends you've made. We can't wait to see how your career blossoms following this experience!
My Time in Melbourne
August 13, 2024by: Anna M - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
The Melbourne program was very organized and it was helpful whenever we needed anything from start to end, before the internship began and to the very end of the internship. It is an easy way to find an internship abroad which was helpful since i wouldn't know how to reach companies. I like that we would get a refund if we were not placed and I like that we didn’t have to pay to get accepted into the program.
Thank you for your feedback, Anna! We're glad you had such a positive time on program with us and you found the team in Melbourne so supportive. We can't wait to see what's next for you following this experience!
Fun Times In Melbourne
August 13, 2024by: Nicholas Fehrer - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I had an absolute blast working for Greenspace ESG for the last 10 weeks. The experience with both my employment and the Intern Group have been seamless and some of the best moments of my life. The genuine friends made along the way will be those that I keep close to myself for life, and the memories shared are at the pinnacle. I will miss Melbourne and its quirks as I return to the United States. I will miss Perth, the Experience Coordinator and all those involved with my time in country, as they made the trips and experiences that much more enjoyable. Within my internship, I have learned a whole new aspect to my university major, marine biology, involving hydroponics and the change from seed to crop. These teachings have not only opened my mind to other employment opportunities in this field, but has allowed me to earn university credits back home. I have fell in love with Australia and everything that has occurred while here, and cannot wait to continue my studies back home to return here one day.
Sounds like you had a dream internship in Melbourne, Nicholas! It's wonderful to know you fell in love with Australia and you enjoyed the trips, experiences, and the internship itself. We can't wait to see how you use these new skills for your future career. We're wishing you all the best for your studies!
My six weeks internship in Melbourne
August 13, 2024by: Aimie Grant - ScotlandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My six-week journey in Melbourne with The Intern Group and Tasty Fresh has been an unforgettable experience filled with professional growth, cultural immersion, and personal development. This opportunity not only provided me with invaluable work experience but also allowed me to explore the vibrant city of Melbourne. This internship experience has significantly contributed to my personal development. Living independently in a new city, let alone a new country, taught me essential life skills such as independance, time management, budgeting, and adaptibility. Navigating through challenges and stepping out of my comfort zone helped build my confidence. During my internship with Tasty Fresh, I had multiple projects such as Ethical Hacking, Raspberry Pi Devices, Software Development, Web Development and Electrical Engineering. This provided me with a variety of skills that I have developed over the 6 week internship. Working with colleagues from different backgrounds and cultures broadened my perspective and enhanced my ability to work collaboratively in a multicultural setting. Some of the most memorable experiences was Interacting with Australia’s iconic wildlife such as feeding kangaroos and meeting koalas. Visiting the Melbourne Skydeck offered breathtaking views of the city skyline. The vineyard tour was a delightful excursion where I learned about local wine production and enjoyed tasting some of the region’s finest wines. It was a perfect blend of education and leisure. Attending an Australian Football League (AFL) game was an exciting, confusing and immersive experience. The energy and passion of the fans were contagious, it gave me a deep appreciation for Australia’s sports culture. My six-week internship in Melbourne with The Intern Group and Tasty Fresh has been transformative. The professional skills I gained, the cultural experiences I enjoyed, and the personal growth I achieved have all contributed to making this journey a pivotal chapter in my career and personal life. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an enriching internship experience.
Thank you for telling us all about your time in Melbourne, Aimie! It really sounds like you made the most of your internship and we're so pleased you had such an enriching time, both professionally and personally. We can't wait to see where your new professional skills take you in your career!
I had a time of my life
August 06, 2024by: Randalls Ndobegang - CameroonWould definitely recommend to to anyone wanting to extend their horizon beyond what they know. The fact that you to a new place and not only stay there but work is a huge experience in itself m. Learning about the work culture and how to interact with new people was definitely awesome
It's fantastic to hear you had such a wonderful time on program in London, Randalls! We're excited to see what comes next for you in your career following all you've experienced.
I had a once in a life time experience
August 05, 2024by: Haseeb Hussain - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
As someone from the UK, I always dreamt of going to the US, especially working there. With the intern group they made that into a reality. The help and support they give you is second to none and offer many more social activities and and outings which you get to do together. The work place was amazing and was a smooth process from the interview to the onboarding. Overall was an amazing time.
Thank you for telling us all about your time in New York, Haseeb! We're thrilled to have helped you with your dream and you found the work and social activities to be so positive. We can't wait to see where you go in your future career!
8 Week internship in Madrid
August 04, 2024by: Eliana Posin - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had an amazing experience interning in Madrid. I am going into my third year of undergrad and this was the perfect summer to do this. I learned so much professionally, socially, and culturally and I will remember this summer forever.
It's amazing to hear that you had such a wonderful time in Madrid, Eliana, and that it'll be something you remember forever! We can't wait to see how you use all the things you've learned in your future career. We're wishing you all the best!
The beauty of taking a risk
July 31, 2024by: Arevik Agopian - ArmeniaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
When you think of doing an internship abroad you should know that there are going to be many unexpected situations which you can obviously find the solution. However, the TIG team in Madrid is always available to help you in case of any situation. They might let you know their working hours, but in reality everyone is available all the time. When I started my internship I was not sure if this is what I should be doing or if there is a future in this position or not. Yet I took the biggest risk of talking to my supervisor and that turned out to be my best choice of action. So when you get to you internship and you start linking the atmosphere and the work that you are doing you should not be afraid to ask for more, the chances are very high that the team is looking for someone just like you. What concerns the social life in Madrid I think it is the best city ever to have a social life, because everyone is having a great time and they all have good work/life balance. One advice is to not be scared of making friends and try to get to know more people make new connections. The chances are you will make friends that are going to be in your life forever. So do I suggest you take a long shot and go to a whole new place where you don't know the language or have no friends? Yes, I definitely suggest you!
Thank you for telling us about your time in Madrid, Arevik! We're so pleased to hear that our team were supportive and responsive and that you found your experience with us worth it. We're excited to see what the future holds next for you!

Live like los Madrileños!
July 30, 2024by: Esteban Villegas - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Well, I had an amazing time at Madrid I was able to make friends and connections with people of our internship group and with the coworkers I worked with. I had selected one of the roughest works schedules offered you will be able to do lots of things still just know that you might get burned out if you have a long commuting distance to your workplace. I had a great company to do my internship with the best thing for you to do is talk, ask and do what you can to help and make a fun environment to the workplace and your coworkers if I were to stay longer I would have definitely done more, if you do you have a higher chance to get a job and what you want and what you are looking for I was able to make good friends with my boss and he took me over to places to hike and visit amazing places its good to speak Spanish and my company was called Fundación madrina! Madrid offers the best night life so you can go to clubs and restaurants, and they don't close till late at night I had the pleasure to go during Real Madrid winning champions league and Spain winning the EUROS! It was the best experience ever! I also had the experience to visit other cities in Spain visiting Barcelona and Pamplona was able to go watch f1 Races and San Fermin which starts at July 7th to July 14! My recommendations are to get the travel card where you can travel all of Europe for cheaper train rides. Make trips with people in the internship so that you can make a cheaper visit to places with Airbnb. Sunset is 9:30 - 9:40pm during the summer! Niki and Lalita where very helpful contact them if you have a question or an emergency. Niki plans events go to them and have fun! Be very careful when you go out people to steal phones in the city especially at clubs, and if you look like foreigners.
Wow, Esteban - it sounds like you managed to pack everything into your time in Madrid! It's amazing to hear what a great time you had at your internship and socially/culturally. We're also so thrilled to hear such positive words about Nikte and Lalita too. We can't wait to see what's next for you in your future career!
Fulfilling
July 29, 2024by: Ma. Renzie Enaje - PhilippinesProgram: Internships in New York
I enjoyed exchanging culture with different interns from the intern group. I loved hanging out with them after working 9-5 and was able to learn a lot. It was also fulfilling working and experiencing how a 9-5 in NYC especially near Wall Street. It was a dream into reality.
It's fantastic to hear you had such a great time in New York with us, Renzie! We're so glad that Wall Street was such a dream for you found the experience so fulfilling. We can't wait to see what's next for you!
Wonderful experience, highly recommend!
July 26, 2024by: Angelica Georges - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The experience itself was amazing - Madrid is an incredible city, especially for younger people. First and foremost, the team at TIG is splendid. Extremely kind and supportive. As an intern, I felt like I barely took care of any logistics, as everything was taken care of for me, and any issues that I faced I was supported throughout. Big thank you to Lalita for all her help while I was here, when I needed anything. And also a big thank you to Nikte, event coordinator, who planned fun and unique events and was also there to listen if we needed any help. Truly enjoyed meeting both of them! Transport system is great and extremely cheap compared to other cities (8 euros for a month of bus/metro pass). So much culture, art, food, dance, etc. In a city like this you really have to immerse yourself to live the best experience. So if you are someone that loves culture and exploring, you will love Madrid. Everything is so close if you live in the center, max 15 minute walk to almost everything. Only feedback I would give to future interns is actually just a disclaimer - the summer here is very hot (but manageable, as it is dry warmth), and travelling outside of Madrid is at its peak in terms of how expensive it gets to travel in Europe! Again, I would highly recommend and will look back at this experience with a sense of gratitude, not only for the professional skills and insights I gained but also for the amazing time I had in Madrid, meeting great people, learning new things, and growing personally.
Thank you for leaving a review regarding your experience in Madrid, Angelica! It's fantastic to hear that you had such a wonderful time and you felt supported by Lalita and Nikte whilst having plenty of fun. We're so excited to see where your new professional skills and insights take you in your blossoming career!
The most rewarding 6 weeks!
July 26, 2024by: Mia Cook - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
I had an amazing experience interning in Bangkok this summer! The 6 weeks I was here have been some of the best weeks of my life so far. Outside of my internship, the TIG staff were really helpful, friendly and organised great events where I felt immersed in Thai culture. The only thing I would comment on is the fact that my internship was not related to my chosen career field. However saying this, my internship helped me in developing transferable skills that I will be able to apply to my future career, so my time was well spent and extremely fulfilling. I feel a sense of academic and personal growth due to TIG and would recommend to anyone who wants to advance their career by working internationally.
Thank you for reviewing your experience in Bangkok, Mia! It's great to hear you found the TIG staff such a positive influence on your trip. We did try to find an organization based on your preferred career field, but we understand that sometimes companies adapt their roles depending on their needs. We're sorry that on this occasion, it meant doing things that were outside your initial interests. However, we're happy to hear that you gained some valuable experience and transferable skills and you had a chance to develop them too in such a fulfilling way. We're looking forward to seeing where your career takes you!
I gained more than just internship experience.
July 25, 2024by: Zyad Hamamou - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
The intern group staff on the ground were truly incredible. Jinnie was always there to support us and see if we need anything, as well as organize meetups for the group and ensure everyone was safe and having fun.
Thank you for telling us about your experience, Zyad! We're thrilled that Jinnie was such a supportive influence during your time in Bangkok and you had a fun time with us!
A supported journey into the Japanese work force.
July 24, 2024by: Ken Adachi-Bartholomay - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
My internship was a 6 month program in a non-TIG accommodation. The advisors were down to earth people, always available, and very helpful. My internship was an IT based one. I really enjoyed the company I worked at. All of my coworkers were very accommodating and I had a healthy work-life balance. Outside of the internship, there were many events that TIG hosted, including welcome parties for new Interns once or twice a month, going to landmarks in and around Tokyo, and outings to the nearby Kanagawa prefecture. I got along well with my fellow interns within the program and we also organized doing our own explorations of Tokyo. My only complaint is that the program fees are a little expensive, but if money is no a problem, I would whole-heartedly recommend this program to anyone looking to gain work experience in Tokyo or broaden their international perspective.
Thank you for leaving a review of your experience in Tokyo, Ken! It's great to hear that you had a fantastic time at your internship and enjoyed the trips too! We are sorry to hear you felt our programs were over-priced - we regularly review our program fees to ensure that they in line with the industry and we are able to continue providing the comprehensive program inclusions and high levels of customer experience that we are known for. It's lovely to hear that you would recommend the program and we wish you the best of luck for your future career - we can't wait to see where it takes you!
I'll be telling my grandkids about this summer
July 23, 2024by: Alistair Wright - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
Choosing to intern in Bangkok this summer was a shot in the dark, but it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. For starters, BKK is an amazing city. It is unbelievably vibrant and cheap, with good public transport and safety. The food is super high quality, every neighborhood feels incredibly distinct, and you will literally never be bored. As for the work experience, I absolutely loved my job. So many internships dissolve to interns simply getting lunch and coffee, but I was able to immerse myself in my company's operations. I learned so much about the industry, the SEA ecosystem, and my own personal career goals. In general, if you aren't sure what you want to do next summer, this is the perfect opportunity for you. There's no better way to learn about yourself and grow as a person than by diving headfirst into a new culture. Bangkok is the perfect city for interns simply because it is so lively, cheap, and International, so you're always experiencing new things. Finally, working at companies that want you to get involved in every area is a blessing. With that said, definitely give TIG Bangkok a try!
This review has definitely made our day, Alistair! Thank you for sharing your experience - we are so pleased that you had such an enriching work and culture experience in Bangkok. We're looking forward to seeing where you go next in your career!
The best investment

No better way to spend my summer
July 23, 2024by: Haruka Nabeshima - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
My experience interning in Bangkok was great - both the internship and cultural experiences were phenomenal and I had an amazing time. In terms of the internship, I got to work at a super interesting host company that was and will be useful as I evaluate next steps in terms of my career goals. The program itself was well-organised and very fun. The activities offered opportunities for cultural immersion and were useful as I figured out how I wanted to spend my time in the city throughout the two months. Jinnie and Tarn were wonderful points of contact who were very responsive, helpful, and kind :) Overall had an amazing time and so glad I chose to come to Bangkok this summer!
Thank you for sharing your experience in Bangkok, Haruka! We couldn't be happier that you had such a positive time with your host organization and found Jinnie and Tarn to be as wonderful as we do. Really looking forward to seeing what's next for you in your career!

Life changing experience
July 23, 2024by: Edoardo Soldati - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
Perhaps I consider it the best life-changing experience. Beautiful people, amazing tour guide (Brian) in the most iconic city in the world. Moreover, yhe possibility of meeting people from all over the world has represented a real personal enrichment
Sounds like you had the best time in New York, Edoardo! It's lovely to hear you had such a life-changing experience and that Brian was a highlight for you, too. We're looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Best Summer in Tokyo
July 23, 2024by: Ella Bjerre - DenmarkProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I loved spending 8 weeks in Tokyo and could not have asked for a better internship. I interned for a consulting company and learned so much in the span of two months. I also loved all of the day trips and excursions planned through the intern group like visiting Kamakura and Mt. Fuji! For anyone considering this program just know that you will be able to experience so many cool things while having the support you need to be successful both personally and professionally!
Thank you for reviewing your time in Tokyo with us, Ella! We're so glad you had an amazing time with your company and at all the excursions, too. We're wishing you all the best for your future!
I had a great time !
July 22, 2024by: Anish Sharma - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Moving to New York was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I really enjoyed working in the city, living the New York lifestyle and exploring the endless things to do in the city. I made so many great friends and have some many great memories, thanks to the intern group!
Hi Anish, thank you for leaving a review about your experience with us in New York! We're thrilled that you had an enjoyable time exploring, learning, and making friends. We're looking forward to seeing how your professional career develops following your time on our program!

My experience in New York with the intern group was incredible. We had the opportunity to work in the big city and make many new international friends during our events on the weekends. It was the best experience I’ve ever had !
Thank you for reviewing your time with us in New York, Anaelle! We've loved hearing your thoughts and we're so pleased you had an amazing time. Wishing you all the best in your future career!
Once upon a time in USA.
July 22, 2024by: neha lama - NepalProgram: Internships in New York
I'm grateful to the intern group that I've experienced cultural diversity. I had a chance to make friends from different cultures and prospective who had different needs and goals than mine. Got a chance to visit many places with the intern group family. Overall my experience was awesome while I was in New York.
It's wonderful to hear you had such a great time in New York, Neha! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It means a lot to us that you had a wonderful time and we can't wait to see how your career grows!
I had a time of my life in NYC
July 22, 2024by: Angel Fernandes - IndiaProgram: Internships in New York
NYC was THE highlight in my life and I had the best experience of my life. The internship was great. I made new international friends and explored new places. Tried different cuisines and cultural activities. Experienced the best days of my life.
Thank you for leaving a review, Angel! It's so good to hear that you had a great time working and making friends in the Big Apple!
Great opportunities!
July 22, 2024by: Justin de Bruin - NetherlandsProgram: Internships in New York
My intership in New York has been amazing. I have spent 20 weeks at Kvibe Studios, learning all about videography, AI and so much more. The entire experience has been great, with fun events hosted by The Intern Group every weekend. Got to know a lot of fellow interns and colleagues. I would definitely recommend doing an international internship!
Thank you for leaving a review about your experience with us, Justin! It's amazing to hear that your internship program was so beneficial and that the weekend events were a hit too. Looking forward to seeing what's next for you in your career!
One-of-a-kind Experience!
July 18, 2024by: Rashmi Admala - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
The TIG staff in Bangkok were extremely responsive, kind, and helpful. They planned culture immersion and social experiences to cultivate a strong intern community. Being so far away from home, I appreciated the emphasis on community-building and work-life balance. My internship placement also developed my professional skillset and aligned with my career goals. The work environment was flexible yet encouraging, which I valued. Further, my accommodation was lovely and met my expectations!
Thank you for sharing with us your experience in Bangkok, Rashmi! It's amazing to hear that you enjoyed your time at your internship placement and all the cultural activities. We can't wait to see how your newly developed skillset benefits your future career!
Great Time in London
July 18, 2024by: Joy Ogasawara - United StatesI really enjoyed my 10-week internship program in London. I appreciate that TIG checked in on me periodically to make sure I was ok. They regularly sent updates of things going on and things to do in London. Their staff responded promptly whenever I contacted them (before and during my internship). I also liked the three events that were offered as part of my program. The internship itself ultimately went well, though I wasn’t happy with it at first. I expected more structure and mentoring. I think those things would’ve made this a more effective internship. The people at the company were great; it’s just that the way things were done was a bit chaotic. However, I still gained so much from the experience. I was pushed out of my comfort zone (for the better), tried new things, and was able to make a difference at the company. My experience made me more confident and capable, and it helped me get a job in a new career field. The professional and internship preparation resources offered by TIG were helpful and interesting. However, I was disappointed that they did not follow through on the alumni success coaching session as promised after my internship. Overall, I had a wonderful time in London. I did pretty much everything I wanted to do, and my time there helped me grow personally and professionally. I’m so late with this since my internship was from the end of November 2023 to the beginning of February 2024, but thank you for everything, TIG!
Hi Joy - thank you for reviewing your experience in London. We're pleased to know that you had a great time on the program and you gained plenty of knowledge and experiences to help you grow! However, we're sorry to hear about the alumni success coaching. Someone will be in contact with you soon directly about it, should you still want to partake in this. We wish you all the best in your career!
Living it up in Bangkok :)
July 18, 2024by: Bernice Zheng - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
I really enjoyed my experience in Thailand with the help of The Intern Group. I absolutely loved the staff (Jinnie and Tarn) for helping me get situated (although there were some room difficulties within the accommodation - bathroom curtains) but that was a minor issue and I overall really enjoyed my stay there. I also really enjoyed the activities that they had prepared for us and would definitely recommend taking advantage of them. I'm very glad I was also set up with the company that I am currently working at and I have met the kindest people here :) this was a great experience!
Thank you for sharing your experience following your internship in Bangkok, Bernice! We're especially pleased you got on so well with the lovely Jinnie and Tarn. We can't wait to see how your career grows following your experience with our program!
My internship in Hong Kong was awesome!
July 18, 2024by: Anastasia Russell - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My internship in Hong Kong was great. I gained valuable work experience, met amazing people, and ate amazing food! The opportunity to combine my interests in travel and work was a gift. I could not recommend this more!
It's great to hear that you had such a wonderful time in Hong Kong, Anastasia! Thank you for sharing your experiences and we hope you go far in your future career!
One of a Kind Experience
July 17, 2024by: AiLing Chen - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
TIG has been very responsive and thorough from placement to program end. Not only did I receive an educational internship but I also felt immersed within the program destination culture and people through the excursions that were offered. The internship was well aligned with my academic studies and gave me valuable insight into a potential future career choice. The hours and tasks of the internship may be demanding at times but the excursions and hang-outs organized by TIG provides an opportunity away from the work stress, cultivating a healthy work-life balance. I am really glad to have embarked on this experience and to have met so many amazing people. It is really a one of a kind experience.
This is so great to hear, AiLing! Thank you for sharing your experiences - we're so pleased you had a great internship and cultural experience. We can't wait to see how your career blossoms following your trip to Bangkok!
Experiences that will last a lifetime!
July 15, 2024by: Anjelica Tang - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
The Intern group provided me with great housing and supplied train transportation cards to get around Bangkok. They also planned many group-bonding and culturally immersive events in all the small and wonderful corners of Bangkok, from great food to beautiful sights. I am grateful to have had my first internship abroad experience with this intern group and in Bangkok, Thailand. My work experience was super productive and conducive to my professional skillset. I learned how to manage my time, given that my work was mainly virtual, and to travel around to coffee shops and malls for nice working spots. I am grateful for my two bosses and my three other intern members that are from my school.
Hi Anjelica, thank you for sharing your experiences with us! We're thrilled to hear your time in Bangkok was both fun and productive, and that you had a great experience with your fellow colleagues. We look forward to seeing what you do next!

Best internship ever!
July 10, 2024by: Adelle Vincent - IndiaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
This is definitely something manyshould take a chance with. Regardless of the country, the internship provides you with everything you need to move forward. They make you feel comfortable and welcome in foreign places and are always there for any problems you might face.. Dont miss the chance to do this, definitely go forward with the internship and itll be am experience worth keeping.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Adelle! We're so pleased to hear that you felt comfortable and welcome in Tokyo and we can't wait to see what you do next in your career!

Had an amazing time with the Bangkok team!
July 09, 2024by: Hanifa Chowdury - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
I has an overseas placement for about 4 weeks which flew by really quickly! It was a wonderful insight into the corporate culture in another city and gave me a good insight into a good work life balance. The working hours were great as it was a hybrid role which allowed me to spend time in nearby cafes and explore the city. The bangkok team organised great cultural events and had good recommendations for the best places in bangkok. The four weeks are quite short so I’d definitely recommend staying abit longer to socialise with other interns and maximise souvenir shopping :)
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Hanifa! We're so glad you found your time in Bangkok insightful and we can't wait to see how your career progresses from here!
Great Experience!
June 25, 2024by: Lucia Orta Orellana - SpainProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
Despite the fact that I wasn't placed in a social work position as the Intern Group promised, the company I worked with was good. Hours were good, some short days and some longer days which allowed me to explore the city during the weekdays as well as the weekends. However, the team on site were amazing. They organised meet-ups in super fun spots, there is definetly something for everyone. The trips/excursions were also really fun and allowed us to really immerse in the local culture. Overall, I'd say it was an amazing experience and I am taking a lot away with me but I feel it is important to mention that although it may seem like it - they can't always offer you an internship in your chosen career field. Will miss Bangkok and the other interns very much!
Hi Lucia, thank you for leaving a review regarding your experience in Bangkok! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the excursions and local culture, and you had an amazing time during your trip. Whilst we were clear we couldn't find you a role in your originally requested career field, we hope the collaborative process afterwards to find something else was helpful and you gained some great experience in the placement you accepted. We're looking forward to seeing how this experience allows your career to grow even further.
Internship in Madrid
May 10, 2024by: Alessandro LUCHETTI - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had a short time of my life and career in Madrid for an internship in the area of business development, working in a startup of the country. This experience was very useful for several aspects such as new knowledge and skills which following my interests and my studies, the possibility to do mistakes and learn a new language. Madrid is a wonderful capital and a very enjoyable place to spend time, especially with the arrive of the spring! Strongly suggested for a first job experience!
Hey Alessandro, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We are happy to hear that your first job experience in Madrid has been memorable.
I had the time of my life in Tokyo Japan!
May 09, 2024by: F H - SingaporeProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Choosing the Location Applied in Jan 2024 to The Intern Group's 6-week Tokyo program that began in April 2024. Initially took a week to decide which location I would go to but after that, the decision making process was done quite fast including deciding to withdraw my interest for the first job offer hoping that, the next offer would better suit what I would like to learn. I would say, go for a bigger company if you are undecided and would like to enjoy perks that could include free snacks, more clubbing, more drinking sessions etc. Choose a small company (less than 5) if you are certain on what skill set to learn and can see yourself implementing your ideas at, independently. While in Tokyo Erika has been my main go-to coordinator and she has done a superb job at organising weekly meetups, checking in on us via text or having one-on-one dates and being the best guide around Tokyo! Many occasions, she'd be the link between us interns and the locals and I truly find her a lifesaver. Wouldn't have been able to order my favourite orange juice without her! I hope future interns will get to meet someone like Erika when they are miles away from home. Wrapping Up and Future Plans I wish I could stay in Tokyo for longer. It is my last week here and I am wrapping up my project and applying to full time roles in Japan and back home. I will remember the connections that I've made and the skills I've gained which will continue to shape my career.
Hey there, thank you so much for sharing your experience in Tokyo! We are thrilled to hear that Erica has been such a positive influence in your journey. Looking forward to seeing where your career takes you!

Unforgettable Madrid experience
April 15, 2024by: Madeleine Camp - EnglandProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had the best time doing my internship in Madrid and it far exceeded my expectations. From my living situation and the people I met to the cultural immersion and the work experience, I enjoyed every aspect. To anyone considering doing it I would wholeheartedly recommend this programme as it gives you a chance to get straight into a comfortable situation and start enjoying the city. It felt really out of my comfort zone and a daunting prospect but as soon as I got there I was able to feel at ease. The intern group do a brilliant job at making you feel at home right away and this allowed me to enjoy even the short time of 6 weeks that I was there to the fullest. Thank you for an amazing experience and I am missing it already!
Thank you so much Madeleine for sharing your experience! We are glad that Madrid has felt like home. Looking forward to seeing where you go next!
I did something I always wanted to do
April 11, 2024by: Jack Innis - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I finally got to try working in a new country. On top of that, I got to experience Japan in great detail and try unique things I wouldn't otherwise do as a regular tourist. I also got to meet a lot of people trough my sharehouse and through the organized meet ups and excursions.
Thanks Jack for sharing your thoughts! We are glad that your time doing an international internship in Japan has been such a unique experience!
Great Internship Experience and Job Offered by company in Hong Kong
April 06, 2024by: Joseph Nkumah - NigeriaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My experience in Hong Kong was great. The support from TIG was splendid. My time was filled with many learning experiences and gave me more confidence in a professional environment. This internship also gave me a connection. Fast forward 3 years later after my masters degree, I got in touch with the connection I had Hong Kong and I was offered a remote full-time job at the company I interned for. I am grateful to TIG and the Hong Kong experience coordinators. I personally recommend The TIG service.
Thank you so much Joseph for sharing your experience in Hong Kong! We are thrilled to see that the networking during your internship has led to the next step in your career. Congrats and looking forward to seeing where you go next!
My Melbourne
March 21, 2024by: Indya B - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
The Melbourne program was very organized and it was helpful whenever we needed anything from start to end, before the internship began and to the very end of the internship. It is an easy way to find an internship abroad which was helpful since i wouldn't know how to reach companies. I like that we would get a refund if we were not placed and I like that we didn’t have to pay to get accepted into the program.
Thank you Indya for sharing your thoughts! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
NYC definitely lived up to its name
March 15, 2024by: Bronte McGrath - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
New York City was the best time of my life, it has such a rich culture and nothing I ever experienced before. Some facilities that the program offered were average but my overall internship experience was incredible. I was in fashion, and was lucky enough to be emerged into stuff for NYFW, work side by side with amazing industry workers and overall gain a new set of skills. I loved the group outings that we went on every weekend, and meeting the other interns and being able to mingle with them made my experience better. I stayed in my own accommodation (with my sister) which I would recommend. I loved being able to tour and explore the Burroughs and meet new people. The baseball games were a standout and Williamsburg for thrifting was my favourite! The different kinds of food were something else entirely, there were so many choices! Going in summer too was amazing, the weather is so warm and to see the millions of people in such a city was just INSANE
Thank you Bronte for sharing your thoughts! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Great internship position and amazing cultural experience.
March 04, 2024by: Christina Wang - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
The Intern Group did a great job at placing me and my friend at ARS Investment Partners. I really enjoyed my workplace, peers, and most importantly has really prepped me for my future career. The only downside was the accomodation, which was not one my biggest concerns, but I understood some friends had issues.
Thank you Christina for sharing your thoughts! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
6 Weeks Internship Program in Tokyo
March 01, 2024by: Endah Sri Wahyuni - IndonesiaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The TIG Tokyo Team was amazing. In this particular I’d like to note about ERICA. I think she went above and beyond. She was very organised, approachable and always responded our queries in timely manner. The programme was well organised and full of activities to enrich our experiences. The communication pack about everything we need to know in Tokyo was very helpful. I felt that I was well equipped to go on my journey in the internship in Tokyo, Japan. Alisha was helpful too and did her best to assist. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Japan and gained a lot of insights around the business, culture and strategy. Thanks Erica and Alisha for all your help. All the best for your future.
Thank you Endah for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Incredible experience
March 01, 2024by: Anna N - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
This program was the most fun, exciting, new and growth-inducing experience I’ve had in my life yet. The company I worked at was very open to giving me new projects, exposure to company processes and letting me grow into the role. The social events were very well conducted and everyone interning felt welcoming and friendly. Brian, our coordinator, did an excellent job at involving us all.
Thank you Anna for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.

A memorable experience!
February 23, 2024by: Hana Ho - VietnamProgram: Internships in New York
Had a great 6 weeks exploring NYC with my uni friends. Everyone at my work was super welcoming and supportive. I really enjoyed the weekend activities organised by TIG. The highlight is definitely the boat tour where we got to see a spectacular view of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.
Thank you Hana for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
NETWORK!
February 23, 2024by: Bohan Zhu - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
The meaning of this intern program for me is to extend my network. And it does the job for me:) Also, the US experience is not only just about NYC, through the program, we visited different cities in the US, which broadens our vision.
Thank you Bohan for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
unforgettable NY internship!!
February 22, 2024by: Catherine Zychewicz - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
I’m going to miss my placement company so much!! It was an amazing experience??. It blends seamlessly with the unit that I’m taking the internship for. I would particularly recommend it for the latter years of your undergrad or masters
Thank you Catherine for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Personally had a great internship experience!
February 22, 2024by: Annika Lee - New ZealandProgram: Internships in New York
I was luckily paired with a very welcoming, supportive, and competent host organisation. My company took care of me really well and it absolutely was the highlight of my internship experience. I did have to go through a number of interview rounds so keep that in mind and be selective about the company - make sure it aligns with your career goals and that you like the company culture. The company forms a massive part of your experience.
Thank you Annika for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Tokyo internship
February 20, 2024by: Christal Monk - New ZealandProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
ABSOLUTELY the best lifetime experience that I will ALWAYS remember and cherish. Erika has made this journey so memorable and ensured we were well looked after from as soon as we landed to keeping us warm and experiencing the BEST that Tokyo has to offer in such a short timeframe. Cherished memories for the rest of my life, Erika...THANK YOU!!!

Great experience!
February 19, 2024by: Molly Y - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Madrid is an amazing city and I would definitely recommend the program to anyone wanting a new adventure! I did a 6-week internship where I was given the opportunity to really immerse myself in the company and I even got invited to attend an exciting company event! I have not only gained key industry experience but I have experienced huge personal growth. There were lots of fun organised activities every week which allowed me to meet new friends and expand my network with people from around the world. The Intern Group program team in Madrid were really supportive and made me comfortable during my time there.
Thank you Molly for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Far exceeded all expectations!
February 13, 2024by: Jan Donia - New ZealandProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Far exceeded all expectations!! By far the best part of this internship/experience was all the amazing people and activities. I never considered the level of detail or organisation that the excursions would have. Then of course I met a lot of wonderful people from all around the world, some of these people I’m sure I will keep in touch with! This truly changed my overall experience for the better. The internship was well organised and my host company was very accommodating, plus I learned a lot along the way!
Thank you Jan for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.

Living and working in Tokyo
February 12, 2024by: Mitchell Evans - New ZealandProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Right from the go I was blown away by the vastness of Tokyo. Every light grabs your attention and you can’t help but be amazed by it all. The intern group programme offered me an opportunity to quickly meet new people and experience Tokyo with others. This made the whole experience much less stressful and more enjoyable. It is so easy to immerse yourself in the culture, and you’ll never run out of activities to do. Working in Tokyo was great I didn’t have any issues and I really enjoyed my job. I got the opportunity to go snowboarding in Hakuba which was really fun.
Thank you Mitchell for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.


My experience Tokyo 2024
February 11, 2024by: Jose Andres Estrada - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The experience I had during my six-month internship was terrific, satisfying, fun, and in my opinion it is undoubtedly highly recommended. Moreover, I believe this is essential before professional life, thus I am grateful to have had this opportunity. This internship is well designed and there were always activities that allowed me to meet new interns and visit new places. Therefore, It is great for a network expansion, friendships and traveling.
Thank you Jose for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.

Most amazing experience!
February 06, 2024by: Samantha Fitch - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Living and working in Madrid was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I had the most incredible time working during my internship and met amazing people along the way. This program not only pushed me to get out of my comfort zones and grow but also have the best time while doing so. Would definitely recommend if you are thinking about working abroad! The Madrid program also offered fun meet ups to get to know other interns and explore a few cities around Madrid which was very helpful in getting to know our new city.
Thank you Samantha for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Really cool experience
January 31, 2024by: Tai Min Tegeder - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I did this in the summer of 2022. I learned about the Intern Group program from my friend who also decided to internship abroad with them this summer. We both applied to be in Madrid, Spain and have had amazing experiences here. Not only did I get to learn about the work culture in Madrid, I got to build and relearn professional skills that will be important for my future. Additionally, they gave us many opportunities to explore the city and Spain as a whole with included events (to Segovia and Toledo) as well as access to a month long public transportation pass (that is easily reloadable at the local Metro stations). The public transportation is vast, efficient, and safe, so I got to enjoy exploring the city a lot more than I would have as just a casual traveler. The accommodations were also very nice, and mine was only 20-30 minutes away from my internship using public transportation. Overall, I think I have gotten a lot out of this trip, and I would definitely recommend it to others. My only problem was we learned about our housing about a week before we got there and that stressed me out a bit. Otherwise, it was great.
Thank you Tai Min for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Amazing experience; Supportive staff.
January 14, 2024by: Celeste Milano Franco d’Aragona - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
TIG is a great program, than having been matched to the perfect opportunity for me, I felt extremely supported by the staff. I took part in the Madrid program and was extremely pleased with it. The application process is very complete and easy to follow and TIG is always ready to help whenever. I would definitely do it again! 100% recommend it to anyone who is looking for a short or long term internship.
Thank you Celeste for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Highlight of 2023
January 03, 2024by: Constantin Bartel - GermanyProgram: Internships in New York

Amazing New York Opportunity
December 31, 2023by: Lucy Tucker - New ZealandProgram: Internships in New York
I embarked on a New York internship for two months between March and May in 2024. Having turned 18 very recently, I was apprehensive about such a huge city and a professional internship. However, the Intern Group was fantastic at facilitating the internship and having the resources to make this time one of the best experiences of my life. Brian specifically was a fabulous contact and facilitated the formation of fabulous friendships and New York activities that I may not have done otherwise.
Thank you Lucy for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Tokyo Sukii
December 11, 2023by: Martina Dalli Cardillo - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I had one of the best experiences of living abroad, I loved Tokyo even though I am not used to live in big cities. When I first came here k was a bit scared of the cultural impact because I don’t speak Japanese and a lot of people here are not used to speak English, but fortunately we had one of the best coordinator Erika. She is one of a kind, and she makes us feel confident and comfortable by giving us any type of advice and watching our back. I strongly recommend to do this type of adventure because I think you ‘ll be back home with a totally different attitude and mindset.
Thank you Martina for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
An exciting chapter!
December 10, 2023by: Anish Beeram - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York

Enjoying Colombia!
December 06, 2023by: Jorja D - New ZealandFantastic experience if you want to challenge yourself, seek out new cultures and information whilst having a paternal support behind you. The Organisation provides you a great foundation from which to intiate a living abroad experience, with your liasing support person there to assist for all your queires. More so the organisations are forthcoming with educational experiences and allow you to immerse yourself into the work culture. Colombia itself is an amazing country to be explored and by doing an internship you are given plenty of time to do so. Cannot recommend enough!
Thank you Jorja for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Absolutely YES
December 06, 2023by: Petr Homola - Czech RepublicI had one of the best times in my life. This programme, supported by people from The Intern Group will provide a wonderful experience from A-Z. I felt safe, supported, and very satisfied with the accommodation, placement, cultural activities and everything that this journey has brought to me. I was able to embrace new culture and develop personal growth. Much recommended.
Thank you Petr for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.
Experience of a lifetime!
December 05, 2023by: Helena Diaz - HondurasI did my internship with The Intern Group in Colombia and I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing it was. The internship experience was beyond my expectations and the activities that were set up by the company were amazing. I cannot express how much this helped me in a professional matter. Also, our coordinator Maria was amazing and was always there for us. Please don’t think twice about doing your internship in Colombia! You will never regret being in such a beautiful country and with such beautiful people.
Thank you Helena for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you.

Great professional experience, great experience overall
December 04, 2023by: Henry T - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My company ensured that I was interested in the projects that I was working on and were always willing to tailor projects to my professional goals. They also were very inclusive, and it was easy to get to know my coworkers through office events, lunches, etc. Accommodations well surpassed my expectations and TIG staff were great at organizing fun and low-commitment events to better get to know the city and other interns. Overall highly recommend TIG in Madrid

November 28, 2023by: Msgana T - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My internship in Melbourne was great! The set experiences were the highlight of the trip. Perth our experience coordinator was amazing! Always listening and helping when needed. I particularly enjoyed the vineyard and wildlife tour The Intern Group provided as part of the program! We got to see actual Koalas and Kangaroos which made the experience 10 times better as I've never seen one before! This program has allowed me to meet so many cool people from around the world and I have made life-long friends from this program!

The Best Opportunity!
November 23, 2023by: Morgan ODonnell - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
This was somewhat of a spontaneous decision for me and it couldn’t have been a better one! I have had the best professional and social experience during my time in Madrid. It was so easy to get set up with an internship and I ended up loving the company that I worked for! One of the best things was organized events that the Intern Group held for us. This allowed us to meet other interns we weren’t living with and see different places around Madrid and Spain. I would recommend picking the option with accommodation because living with roommates from around the world has been an incredibly cool experience!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Morgan

I had a wonderful time during my internship program! The other interns I was here with were all great and we became friends quickly.

New York!

Great experience but not without bumps
November 02, 2023by: Kate DeLong - United StatesMy internship was fantastic. I was placed in a field I was interested in (after several rounds of negotiating with my placement advisor) and I discovered a city I loved. However, the housing process was a nightmare. I was put into an accommodation that didn’t provide me with the basic necessities I needed to live. I was promised kitchen supplies which I never received. However, once I was moved everything worked out (luckily).
Opportunity of a lifetime
October 28, 2023by: David Corley - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The Tokyo team took great care of me and my fellow interns. This was an amazing experience and it has surely sparked a passion within me to be a leader and find my way back to Japan and possibly see many other parts of the world.

Such an enriching experience!
October 28, 2023by: Agostina Laboratto - ArgentinaProgram: Internships in New York
This program has given me the chance to grow in many ways. In a professional level I got to network a lot and to get my first corporate experience. Even though host organizations are medium-sized, this gives you the chance to build long-term relations and to connect with all areas of the organization at a deeper level. Experiencewise, the program coordinators, Debby and Brian, had made this program an AMAZING one. During weekends they organise group visits. If you ever need anything, they are always willing to help.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Agostina
Leaving the dream

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Jacopo
Summer 2023 = best of my life
October 24, 2023by: M J - United StatesMy review of The Intern Group is a 10/10. Their team in London looked after me brilliantly from start to finish. I can't fault this organization and would recommend to anyone. If you are looking for the ultimate internship program look no further.

An opportunity of a lifetime
October 05, 2023by: Oderfla Fung - PhilippinesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Interning abroad has always been one of my goals to achieve during tertiary education, and I am so glad o went through with it. Applying through The Intern Group was great. They gave me aid during my application process (which I had little knowledge of), and accommodated through my circumstances along the way! My internship was fruitful and insightful as the working culture was vastly different from what I was used to. It opened my eyes to other possibilities for me in the future. Best part of all of it was I made friends of various backgrounds and culture. The program connected me with other interns (and there were a lot, explicitly during summer time) and organised events throughout my time there! Very thankful for the experience

Great experience in Madrid
August 28, 2023by: Antonella Fracella - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I think that going abroad is always a good idea to go out from the comfort zone, to learn more about different people and cultures and to go back home with a more open mind and fulfilled with new growing experiences. In my case, I worked with a company that has helped me a lot to grow professionally and personally. I think I couldn’t have chosen a best place than Madrid to do an internship abroad: good cost of living, full of activities to do and super warm environment. Definitely recommended!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Antonella
Met friends for a life time
August 03, 2023by: Abdul-Jabbar Mohammed - NigeriaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
During my internship, I had an incredible experience as I was immersed in a fantastic office culture and learned a plethora of valuable skills. Moreover, I had the opportunity to forge strong connections with amazing friends hailing from diverse countries, fostering a global perspective that enriched my personal growth. The internship itself was a transformative journey, where I delved into the world of ANSYS, a powerful engineering simulation software. As I worked on real-world projects, I gained hands-on experience in using ANSYS for solving complex engineering problems, enhancing my technical acumen and problem-solving abilities. The placement team played a crucial role in making my internship experience even more fulfilling. They were extremely supportive, guiding me through various stages of the program, ensuring I had access to the best opportunities and mentoring me along the way. The camaraderie I developed with colleagues from different countries was one of the highlights of my internship. We shared cultural insights, exchanged knowledge, and collaborated on projects, contributing to a dynamic and inclusive work environment. All in all, this internship not only provided me with invaluable professional skills but also exposed me to a diverse and inclusive workplace, fostering meaningful connections with friends from around the globe. I will forever cherish the memories and learning experiences I gained from this exceptional opportunity

Unforgettable experience in Tokyo
June 29, 2023by: Fabio Radaelli - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
This is my experience in Tokyo Program. Really recommend if you, like I was, are looking for a international experience. Fast and easy to apply, within 3 months everything was scheduled for my program. The TIG team in Tokyo is great, especially the experience coordinator Erika. Professional and easy going person, always ready to help if issues happen. I have been lucky beyond measure having a person like her to my side during the experience. I hope you will be lucky enough to have her as your coordinator too... I had some misunderstandings during my the placement with the internarional team at the beginning of the process (that's the only reason I could not assign a 10/10) but no big deal. I strongly recommend to have an internship longer than 3 months so you can have a working visa. Of course there are things that can be managed better, but for what concerns the overall experience in Tokyo is a 100/100. Thanks again, Erika
Thank you for sharing your candid experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience overall and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Fabio
Life changing experience!
June 24, 2023by: Jasnoor Anand - IndiaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My internship experience in Madrid was definitely a life changing experience. It helped me grow professionally as well as as personally. The experience broadened my horizon and allowed me to immerse myself into a different culture and environment. I had the best roommates and met wonderful people who were a part of the internship experience. It is perfect for exposure and the pressure, that will help in improving our skill sets. I met Lalita and Lucia, who were our programme coordinators and they were absolutely amazing. The intern met ups helped us to get to know the others interns. I have got back home a box full of memories with myself. I definitely recommend this programme.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Jasnoor!
Wonderful time in Madrid
June 18, 2023by: Juliana W - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I went to Madrid for a PR & Marketing internship last summer. The team, all of the other interns, as well as everyone I worked with at my internship were absolutely wonderful and made my experience there better than I ever could have imagined. I had a truly unforgettable experience, not only was the professional experience invaluable, but the immersive experience as well. I grew so much and felt completely supported by my coordinator Lalita. I cannot thank her and The Intern Group enough.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Juliana

Scared of crowded places? Go to New York.
June 06, 2023by: Virgil Ngo - VietnamProgram: Internships in New York
I had the pleasure to manage social media for Sherry Herring, a local business located on the Upper West Side of New York City. We sold herring in baguettes :). That was my lunch everyday. But my duties were to create, post content and engage with herring lovers all over the world on Instagram. I got to showcase my work to the Internet, which was one of my biggest fears, but not anymore. New York City has also cured my second fear: talking to strangers. Working in a sandwich store requires you to talk to customers. I say do not be afraid of being vulnerable and tell stories, That is how you connect with people.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Virgil
City that never sleeps
May 30, 2023by: Max Blaisdell - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
I felt instantly welcomed into the concrete jungle by Brian (kindest man on Earth), I met friends that I will keep for life, and I have gained a full time job out of the experience. My only complaint is that it was over too quickly!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Max!

Loved my accommodation and coordinator
May 26, 2023by: Emily Sanchez - United StatesDuring the placement process, The Intern Group only had one mechanical engineering option to offer me at a company based in Colombia and had to switch to a fully remote position. The situation was unfortunate because of the time zone differences and the workload was very independent. This wasn’t the internship I hoped for but it definitely challenged me professionally. The people that arrived the same time as I did + the accommodation made the whole experience worthwhile. Our experience coordinator, Erika, was very welcoming and helpful with everything we needed. We would have weekly meet ups to socialize and do fun activities together. The accommodation is full of other friendly students/travelers and I felt very safe, it’s comparable to a single dorm room.
Thank you for sharing your candid experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience overall and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Emily
Amazing cultural experience!

One of the best experiences!
March 31, 2023by: Michelle D - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Enrolling in the intern group Madrid Program was a way for me to experience working and living in a different country and culture. Working in Madrid has been incredible; I loved exploring this city, learning more about Spanish culture and meeting some memorable people. I had a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Michelle!
Amazing experience interning in Madrid
March 13, 2023by: Isabella V - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with The Intern Group was amazing! Settling in had a very large learning curve and working in a different environment, with the language barrier and work ethic taught me to be adaptable and flexible. In terms of the internship, you have to make it your own so be professional about it. They really try their best in giving the interns a cultural experience and Madrid in itself is amazing to explore whether you go by yourself or with your fellow interns. Lalita did a huge of a role in making this experience so special and exciting for me. Thank you again and I can’t wait to be back in Madrid as soon as possible!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are glad that you have had an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing where your career takes you, Isabella
Unforgetable experience
February 02, 2023by: Daniel Neguletu - RomaniaProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
Extraordinary once in a lifetime experience that I wish as many people of my age as possible would also have a chance to experience it and be transform by it like I was on the course of the time I've had as an intern.

Hong Kong internship
October 07, 2022by: Jack Corney - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I was originally meant to do my internship in 2020, but COVID made it not possible. The Intern Group, however, kept my internship available for two more years until I was in a position to do it again. They gave me very detailed and helpful information on getting to my internship from my accommodation which was quite a distance to travel and my biggest concern at the start. The internship itself was a real eye opener, seeing first-hand how a charity deals with all the donations and goods it receives and sends to places in need and there was a variety of nationalities working there which made it feel extra global and exciting. Hong Kong itself is a wonderful city; very friendly, clean and easy to navigate and the events organised by the Intern Group felt very relevant to the city and really got oneself immersed in the culture. Special shout out to Agnes who was always available to answer any questions, was very helpful with getting my phone set up for Hong Kong, showed me some great places around the city and treated me to the best burger I have ever had! The only negative would be the distance to travel to and from work every day. The Intern Group, however, did set me up with a travel card with enough money on it to cover the cost for the entire duration.
Great experience despite Covid
August 12, 2022by: Mireia Fernandez - SpainProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The experiences was fun and enriching, a lot of cultural learning and met amazing people. The city offers a lot, the food is really good!! Be open to meet amazing people, work in new environments and to learn more about an incredible culture!!!
Highly recommend
July 26, 2022by: Jasmine Tsokos - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Overall I loved my time with the intern group. They were very helpful in communication and helping me get to my designated country before arrive despite covid and only continued to be amazing assistance whilst there. They placed me with a great host. As I was apart of the digital nomad program I had more freedom to explore my country which they always supported. The plans activities were always fun and I feel I have made international friends for life. My stay with there provided accommodation with perfect/safe. I didn’t have any problem in the process. There was always someone to contact if I needed assistance or advice. The work modules were also useful providing content on career advancement which I can now apply to future roles. I would definitely recommend this program to a friend as I had the time of my life.
Have a great time due to a great organization
July 13, 2022by: Felix Grosse - GermanyProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My time at The Intern Group in Hong Kong was with two words: pretty amazing! I applied because I had to find an internship internationally in fall 2021 as part of my university degree. Having done some market research, I concluded that TIG was the most experienced in this field. Summing up what they most helped me with, I would say: - Visa and Covid precautions - Contact person and coordinator at the desired location (Sau Yi, what a guy!!!) - Assistance with finding the right internship, using their network, improving your CV format etc. - Housing & quick networking/finding friends in Hong Kong - Weekly events amongst all the other interns (dinners, hikes, trips) So is it possible to have the same experience without TIG? Yes, absolutely Is it likely you will enjoy your limited time there just as much? Most likely not because living in new environments and gathering internship opportunities has a lot to do with who you know and how much you know and at least in this department I can say that The Intern Group Hong Kong program that has a fantastic program manager in Sau and that it is very smooth to dive into your new life in Hong Kong thanks to TIG.
My Intern Group review
May 12, 2022by: Guillaume Duchene - BelgiumProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The Intern Group has been a very nice experience for me. They have helped me to find an amazing 6-month intern job at the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. After signing my contract, they helped me to apply my visa online. When I arrived, Sau (program advisory and visa officer of the Intern Group) was organising some online events when I was in quarantine. On the same week that I left the quarantine hotel. He organised a dinner at the restaurant with other people from the Intern Group. It feels very nice to meet new people when you just arrived in a new city. After that, during all my internship period. Sau was organising some visits and hikes around Hong Kong, which were very well organised and great! I’ve got the chance to meet a lot of interesting people from many different countries. At the end of my internship, I succeed to find a trainee job at the Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce. Sau helped me to apply for my new job visa! He was very kind with me and always tried to catch up with me. It is a pleasure to meet him, and I wish keeping hangout with him in the future if I stay even longer in Hong Kong. Best wishes to you Sau and thank you to the Intern Group for this experience! Guillaume Duchene
The time of my life in Madrid!
January 30, 2022by: Taylor Walsh - United StatesThis program was such a wonderful experience. I stayed in Madrid as one of their first digital nomads where I had the option to work from home while staying in Madrid. I worked with a Madrid marketing agency and sometimes would meet up with my boss to work together or grab coffee. This program was so flexible and fun I was able to travel all around Spain and Europe while adding a perfect internship to my resume. I made some of the best friends I’ve ever had and are still traveling/in contact with them today! The program directors are very involved and make sure you feel welcome in the destination of your choice. They also provide nights out with the other interns of that cohort while introducing new ones each month. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to be a world traveler without it impacting their career trajectories in a negative way. Thank you @theinterngroup!
Living in Madrid
December 17, 2021by: Valeria Varela - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
In these three months I learned a lot. I did not only learn about Spain culture I also learned about other cultures because with these program you have the opportunity to live with people from other contries. Finally with the work experience I had the opportunity to improve my comunication skills and meet great people.
Unforgettable experience
December 12, 2021by: Anna Cooper - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I spent 12 weeks in Madrid, Spain working as a Marketing Assistant through The Intern Group and my experience was unforgettable. From when I arrived in Madrid I was well supported by the Group, even having a taxi organised to pick me up from the airport! My work has been very interesting, with a large focus on learning new skills and gaining experience which is very useful for entry level interns. My accommodation is very close to Sol, only 10 minutes walk from the centre of the city, which is amazing. I have lived which a mixture of other interns and international students, which is fun yet intense. Overall, I highly recommend this experience, moving to a new country really helps you expand your mindset and gain new experiences. Having the community of The Intern Group very much helps the fear and uncertainty of moving to a new place, and is a way to gain connections for life.
I had an amazing time interning in Hong Kong
December 04, 2021by: Kevin AKPACA - FranceProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I had the opportunity to intern in Hong Kong in a prime french company in their sourcing department. This opportunity was enabled by The Intern Group Hong Kong. I am very thankful for this opportunity that enabled me to increase my experience, expand my network and familiarize myself with the rich Cantonese culture. I blindly recommend enrolling in their program and also recommend taking an internship in Hong Kong that happens a great city to explore, hang out and have unique experiences. I would recommend Lan Kwai Fong over the weekend for outings and for networking with local and international professionals living in Hong Kong.
Great experience
December 03, 2021by: Jennifer Ortega - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I really advice you on doing an internship in Madrid, you’ll meet amazing people from all over the world and you’ll learn so much from your working experience. The city is great, super safe and there is always something to do.
Genuinely life-changing experience!
December 02, 2021by: Jake Olszowski - United KingdomI did the Colombia Internship Programme as part of my Year Abroad at university. I saw this as a chance to both improve my Spanish and develop skills which would improve my employability further down the line. TIG delivered this and more! Living in Colombia for three months without knowing anyone there is a daunting prospect, but TIG set my mind at ease on so many levels: they found me a great internship; lovely accommodation in a great part of Medellín (El Poblado); and organised all the logistics of the taxi from the airport etc. During my internship I was afforded a great level of responsibility and independence, which really helped me develop my independence and organisation. I was supported by my team and enjoyed getting to know my colleagues. I also loved the social aspect of the programme. I met some great people and really enjoyed the excursions planned for us including trips to Guatapé and Comuna 13, and a tour of Medellín with a coffee tasting. All in all, I came out of Colombia with much more confidence in my Spanish, in myself and in my career. I won't forget my time there, and I'm really grateful to everyone at TIG for making it run so smoothly. I can't wait to go back to South America soon!
An immersive experience that challenged me to grow
December 01, 2021by: Patrick Waring - CanadaTIG gave me exactly what I was looking for. An opportunity to immerse myself in another culture and grow as a person while gaining valuable professional experience I can use in my career. I was mostly impressed by the organization provided for me by the TIG coordinators. This allowed me to leave my home country and arrive in a foreign land without having to worry about the logistics involved or my safety. The apartment I was provided allowed me to live in a safe neighborhood with all of the amenities I like to have. I was walking distance to work, a bus drive for groceries, and my building had a gym/sauna/steam room which I used almost everyday! As much as I was challenged in my working environment, I was so relaxed and happy normally while exploring my new city, speaking with the locals, and hanging out with the friends I made through TIG. This trip truly changed the way I think about my life and I've continued to apply the way of thinking to my life now. Being from Canada, I know what it's like to enjoy a high quality of life with live in a safe and secure community. However, with that being said I can't wait to get back to Latin America. I would love to end up in Medellin for part of my life! Such a beautiful city. I was really happy with the people assigned from TIG to work with me in organizing trips, deal with issues I experienced in my time there, and just plain hang out. I think the people involved with TIG were the best part of my experience in Medellin and they truly provided me a solid foundation that I could use to excel at work and while living in the city. I would recommend TIG for anyone looking to shake things up in their lives and challenge themselves to grow.
Great remote opportunity amazing keynote speakers!
November 29, 2021by: Tess Roussel - FranceProgram: Virtual/Remote Global Internships Through The Intern Group
My experience with the Intern Group overall has been great! The whole process was well organized and very supportive. Many elements of the Intern Group were very important. The access to talkspace was really valuable during Covid, it was a difficult for many people and the use of it helped during this time of isolation, particularly with a remote internship. The keynote speakers were also an invaluable resource. They provide great insights and a lot of inspiration during the difficult times that Covid generated, particularly when it comes to unemployment or finding a passion. Thanks again for the opportunity and the support!
Virtual internship experience
November 29, 2021by: Jaskarn Dosanjh - United KingdomProgram: Virtual/Remote Global Internships Through The Intern Group
Was a delight to be part of the internship journey as it unlocked my true passion in what I wanted to achieve in life and connect with many amazing people. Hugely inspired by the weekly keynote speakers sharing their advice and experience in life and the world of work. I had a blast of a time for the company I worked with which was Thomas Henry Made and experienced new skills and development along the way.
I highly recommend this program
November 24, 2021by: Diego Alaman - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with the Intern Group overall has been amazing. This has been an opportunity for me to come out of my comfort zone and adapt to a new work environment and culture. Through my work as an intern, I have grown professionally, learning valuable lessons such as the importance of effective communication in the workspace and achieving better time and task management. More specifically, I got the opportunity to work for a smaller company in which I had close contact with the directive team and undertook meaningful tasks that truly made me feel as part of the organization. I also enjoyed the companionship created between not only my fellow interns, but also my flatmates, which turned into new friendships that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to grow not only professionally but also in the personal aspect.
Fantastic opportunity!
November 24, 2021by: Rachael Noble - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My time with the intern group has been an invaluable experience, not only in building a legal mindset through my internship, but an opportunity to immerse myself into a different culture, meeting new people along the way.
Amazing internship experience
November 23, 2021by: Charlotte D. - FranceProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had an amazing internship experience in Madrid. I interned in a legal office specialized in business matters. I have learnt many things and I am sure it will be quite beneficial for my future prospects.
Virtual but international experience
November 20, 2021by: Gur-Preet Singh - BelgiumProgram: Virtual/Remote Global Internships Through The Intern Group
We all know with the great pandemic, it was not easy to earn your credit to finish an internship. With TIG I had a great experience with their career courses and the placement that I got to get my first international experience.
This was the best internship ever!
November 17, 2021by: Rodrigo Garcia Abal - ArgentinaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I was Sceptical at first about the program. I wasn’t sure whether they were going to be able to find me a good job, or if I was going to like the job they found me. Luckily, everything was better than I expected and the team was able to provide me with an excellent working environment and experience overall.
Amazing experience with wonderful people
November 17, 2021by: William James - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My 10 weeks interning in Madrid was nothing short of a dream. The city, the relationships I made, and the personal growth I attained are invaluable. Although my job was not exactly pertinent to my career, I still learned a lot each day and it strengthened my resume. Being able to live independently like a local in Madrid was truly incredible and I recommend it to anyone. I cannot wait to go back and visit all of my international friends all over Europe. Many thanks to the program director, Lalita, as she singlehandedly organized all of our events and kept us safe!
An incredible experience in an amazing city
November 16, 2021by: Liam Foxall - IrelandProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I am very grateful to The Intern Group for providing me with the experience of interning in Madrid, so much so that I have since returned! I was placed with an excellent, dynamic company Trivu, where I worked on their exciting flagship project Sondersland. During my eight weeks with them, I was given valuable and important work and made to feel like a valued member of the team. I was very lucky to have lived with the other interns, with whom I made friends for life. Despite the pandemic, the cultural and social events organised by TIG allowed us to make the most of living in such an amazing city and country. I also would like to thank the programme coordinator Lalita, who made sure everything went as smoothly as possible before and during the internship. My original start date was pushed back by the pandemic, but she always made sure I knew what my options were and without her I would not have been able to go and have such a great experience.
Truly, and I'm not exaggerating, lifechanging.
November 12, 2021by: Abigail Buchholz - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Honestly, I was nervous to go abroad at the end of 2021 because of the pandemic. I was worried we wouldn't be able to go out and explore or really get to know the city. I couldn't have been more wrong. During my ten weeks in Dublin, I was not only able to work at a really unique internship, but I also got to see so much of the city! The weekly meetups that all the interns and intern advisers had greatly contributed to this exploration as we went to the Guinness Factory, to several local restaurants, to unique pubs (shout out to Token), and on trips across the country to Galway and the Cliffs of Mohr! Thanks to Alexis and John my friends and I felt confident enough to book our own solo travel on the weekends. Both of them encouraged our travel and, in sharing some of their own stories, made the world seem a whole lot more accessible. I went with another intern and visited Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Belgium! Overall a 10/10 program that is well worth the money. If I could do this program again I would.
Had a great time!
November 08, 2021by: Tristan Robinson - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
I had a great time during the program. Brian our contact was great at communicating and planning trips . I enjoyed my time during the program and felt like it helped me get accustomed to the city. It says I need 200 word so I am just going to keep writing until it lets me go to the next page
M&A analyst intern
October 29, 2021by: Tolulope Eweniyi - NigeriaProgram: Virtual/Remote Global Internships Through The Intern Group
Hi, I believe everyone should have a shot at building their career, and that's what The Intern Group gave me. Before, I joined, I wanted a career change and was confused at what next. The firm found an internship for me in a Private M&A firm and that has changed, shaped and helped me develop a long-term career path. The support, relationships and skills I built throughout the period are invaluable and are constantly shaping how I do and carry out my day-to-day activities. Working in the M&A space is an incredible and rewarding career path. Thank you to The Intern Group.
Opening up new doors & new experiences
October 28, 2021by: Laura Jane Henderson - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The Intern Group programme in Madrid was an incredible experience and opportunity for myself. I worked in a forward thinking organisation, on projects involving EU funding, and gained experience in a field I hope to work in. I met friends from all over the world, with whom I have travelled with and hope there will be more adventures to come. This programme has really given me an insight into what I want for my future and the goals I now intend to pursue. It’s a great chance to step out of your comfort zone and push yourself to learn new things. I am grateful for the support and activities organised by Lalita and hope to meet her again when I return to Spain for my future studies.

A truly valuable rxperience
October 28, 2021by: Daniel Silberstein - PolandProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My internship with The Intern Group in Madrid and with The International Business Hub was great for me overall. It allowed me to grow professionally and as a human being while being able to meet and interact with very smart people from various world countries. It was all worth it for sure.
Terrible experience
July 24, 2021by: Stanko K - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
NOTE: I am writing this primarily to people who might choose Architectural Intern in New York and To Whom It May Concern. I am not writing this for the response from The Inter Group which probably would be the case. I just quickly checked reviews, there is no gratitude to good reviews, just apologies for bad ones. I got it, we gotta believe from the beginning that The Intern Group takes care of you. PLEASE, The Intern Group do not apologize to me. I've been waiting for the response to my e-mail from March 2nd, and now is, as you can see, July 23rd. You already took my time, work, and money, nothing can be changed but the decisions of the other program participants. I won't bother too much, just a quick and concise review. This internship is now "remote". Hmm, pretty handy, right? You will pay them $3000 to sit at your home and work your tail off for someone who won't even appreciate your work, with no seeing other cities, cultures, and all good stuff that they are "including". I am writing this down after a while and I decided to do so because I don't want anybody to go through any of the things that happened to me and I don't want to keep this only to myself. As I am writing a review I noticed 6 parts of the internship that you should grade, so I will use them to clarify it long story short. 1. INTERNSHIP PLACEMENT(placement options, tasks & responsibilities, host company) Internship placement was literally A PLACEMENT. I applied for the NEW YORK INTERNSHIP, my first wish was "Architectural Design" and the second one was "Art and Photography". The awesome placement team sent me 5 options, one in Toronto, one in London, and one in Colombia which are pretty exciting places to go but my application was New York, remember? The other two were in New York and one was some made-up company because I couldn't find any pieces of information for the company on the internet. Finally, the last one was kind of what I wanted to do. After a couple of e-mails where I was trying to make them send me the desired placement options, they sent me some Licensing and Marketing companies where I had to choose from all these random professions and companies and I agreed on the intern with S.M. Godwin, Inc. I never met those guys because they transferred me without any notice to the company called POP Architecture DPC. That's where the hell journey begins. The principal of the company, Okan Oncel is walking harassment. That person, if I can call him a person humiliate and insult every person that is working for him as they are trash. Some of those things occurred after several days of work in person because I was working remotely a few days before I met "the team" in person. That team besides the "Great Architect" had just one guy who was working really hard. And I thought, you know, it's New York City, a lot of companies small and big are here, I wanted to have experience of a real company but it felt just miserable and disgusting. Long story short, I have it all documented on e-mails, we worked on some competition, all the tasks and responsibilities from my side were done on time and with no complaints from the other side. This co-worker and I did a lot of work together, almost everything by ourselves, we worked long hours(which is ok to me if there is appreciation from the other side), we worked holidays and weekends, the night before the deadline we didn't even sleep, etc. Imagine just this, unpaid internship, you are working really hard to gain some post-academic experience, you are living in NYC and you are not getting simple thank you at the end of the day? It's not just he didn't appreciate hard work, who cares, the best is about to be written. When that project was over we started the second one. Again, a lot of work, now just from my side, because a co-worker is busy with some other project. And after about 10 days of overtime work, we had a meeting on Friday, February 5th where this "person" was talking about how everything is looking good and we are in a good shape for the project to come to the end, it ended up with an e-mail on Saturday morning(you know which date) that he has to eliminate my internship. All of a sudden? Why? How? Any reason? No answer. Not a single reason. I wrote an e-mail to this person stating that I want to finish that project on which I was working so hard but all I got was a phone call from this person yelling at me(and I'm not that scaredy guy), that I am not in a situation to ask for anything, that I should better stay away from his company, that he can't help me even tho I just asked for the reason, not for help, especially not that frustrated and unhappy person in midlife crisis. To get this to the funniest point, and to get my point here, he e-mailed me on Sunday, February 7th in a nice written tone with apologies and with a desire to continue work with them. At that time, I already contacted The Intern Group, and I declined the offer with my head up. No more credits to this person, just good vibes and keep on moving. I shortened it as much as I can, just don't want anybody to be fooled by the same person that I was. As this is the main story, I will focus less on the other 5 parts of the internship. 2. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION (pre-departure advising, orientation, support services) I lived and I still live in NYC, so no departure advice is needed. Maybe they will try to respond on this orientation thing in review respond but please don't. Support services - JUST POOR, miserably bad. Support service only when it comes up for payment, before and after nearly to non-existing. I waited for that response from the beginning of February and I finally got it at the end of the same month stating that they will not be able to refund any money but they will try to find another intern for the rest of the 3-month intern duration. No e-mails after, no single voice from The Inter Group. Next to my name on their list now probably stays - 100% profit. 3. LIVING SITUATION (availability of housing options, amenities, cost of living) Again, already live in NYC. They provided none of these things but still kept the same price of an UNPAID internship. 4. WORK ENVIRONMENT (business culture, coworker relations, facilities) All of these you can find up there in the text under part 1. Coworker relations - really good, just good things about that one coworker that I had for about 20 days. 5. HEALTH AND SAFETY (insurance options, security, accessibility of health care) A bitter smile on this one. 6. SOCIAL LIFE (community interaction, cultural immersion, activities, and events) I didn't even know this existed until now, haha. Guys, just be careful, aware, and stay away from these names. Thank you and all the best, ST.
An amazing cultural experience in Madrid
March 08, 2021by: Luisa meloni - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
When I chose the Interngroup I knew that I was doing the right choice, and at the end my assumptions turned out to be right! Firstly I had to go to Australia, but because of Covid I couldn't go, and they promptly helped me to change destination to make me attend my face to face internship. Finally it has been a dream to be able to attend an internship in Madrid even with a pandemic going on! I learnt another language as well! The support they give you is truly admirable, Lalita was my coordinator and she is literally an angel on earth. I could call her anytime when I had some problems and she would answer right the way, I could really see that she loves her job and she cares for us. I would do this experience 100 times all over again!!! -Luisa Meloni

Interning remotely
October 06, 2020by: Nahsaan Bain - BahamasProgram: Internships in New York
Last year, I had a bright idea to intern the summer of my junior year of college. I thought it would be best to gain hands-on experience and get a feel of what working in HR would be like. Coming from a small country, I've always dreamt about living and working in one of the world's major cities, so interning abroad naturally felt like the best option. I searched online and found several companies, but none stood out quite like The Intern Group did. When I visited the website, the information was detailed but not overwhelming! I knew I wanted to intern in the USA, so I applied! The entire process was so easy and the team at The Intern Group was very helpful and patient in preparing me for my internship in NEW YORK CITY!!! Unfortunately, COVID-19 came and placed all of my plans on pause as we monitored the situation week to week. I was unable to travel due to travel restrictions because of COVID, so I opted for the Virtual Internship instead. The experience was invaluable!! Not only did The Intern Group match me with a company that was relevant to my career choice, but the host company was so helpful and willing to teach me about the business and offer mentorship the entire 12 weeks. Adding to the experience, The Intern Group gave access to weekly keynote speakers and career advancement modules (where I was able to showcase on LinkedIn), so this reinforced the intern experience and introduced me to ideas and information that can be transferred in my future career and everyday life. There was never a time where I felt alone in my program as there was a virtual community that gave me access to the team if I had any concerns. Apart from the working aspect of the internship, I was able to unwind and network with other interns; meeting up casually (virtually) for Happy Hour. The overall experience was a great one! The Intern Group made my remote internship worthwhile and I would definitely recommend and refer anyone to be a part of this life changing program.
Loved every minute of it
August 28, 2020by: Andrew Murray - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
The whole experience overall was fantastic. It was amazing to be able to spend time and work in a different country and to be able to enjoy it with like-minded people from all around the globe. The Intern Group were very accommodating with organising my program and helped me find an internship that suited me, and i never once felt out of place during my time in Dublin. John and Paul are amazing guys and did a fantastic job in making sure that i had a brilliant time and always felt comfortable and settled. I would thoroughly recommend this program to any student or worker that is looking to gain valuable experience while also having a blast exploring that amazing city of Dublin.
Just brilliant
April 24, 2020by: Richie Zhang - LithuaniaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
The Internship was something special because of the people! Aside from the Intern Group's Staff Members (John and Paul, a big shout-out to you two), the other interns were super chill and just great company to be around. No matter if it was during one of the weekly events the Intern Group sets up or something we would set up ourselves on the weekends, there was always good fun to be had. This internship was an outstanding investment of my time and I would do it all again if given the option :)
Got to (short) live my dream!
April 21, 2020by: Evalina Chinn - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I am so happy to have interned with YouMeWeNPO in Tokyo, Japan! Unfortunately, I had to leave early due to COVID-19 circumstances, but my experience was more than wonderful! My living situation was 3 minutes from the nearest bus stop, and a 5 minute walk to the nearest tram station in Setagaya-ku. It was a safe and quiet city with very friendly and accomodating people. My work was a 20 minute bus ride to Shibuya so that was very convenient and worked out nicely. My job did have to change location due to the pandemic but I was still set up in an office building. From the internship itself I feel I learned so many valuable skills networking, marketing, creativity (Adobe Creative Cloud), managing projects, raising money, +more. There was so much to learn, I gained many different skills while working for YouMeWeNPO, should be a heavily coveted placement if you are interested in business, or NPO. The work was stressful but it was within my capabilities while still being challenging at times. This was a nice balance of hard work that pushed me outside my comfort zone versus work that just needed to be completed. Great experience with my boss and coworkers, truly one of a kind team, I loved being apart of. Since I left early, my boss allows me to work remotely so I can continue to gain more experience and contribute to meaningful work. Getting to explore Tokyo was my absolute favorite part! Though I worked in an office the majority of the day, I did something a little bit different each day to increase my experience. I would eat somewhere new, walk a different route, commute a different way just to get as much out of my experience. I was only there for 1 month before I had to return to my home county, United States, so I kept that in mind for budgeting, scheduling and site seeing. While things were closed temporarily due to the virus, I still got to experience local as well as tourist things to do. I would definitely recommend doing an internship with the intern group. The Tokyo team Shaina, and Airi are available 24/7 if you ever need anything, they are very accommodating and helpful. Even for things like shampoo brands, nail salons, or rides to the airport they can help you out! They also schedule complimentary, and optional events like Instagrammable Udon, All you can eat dumplings, Dinner at Tokyo Tower, trips to museums, tours etc. These events are affordable and fun and a great way to get to know other interns. Happy to have lived my dream living and working in Tokyo even though it was cut short. I will be back!
Amazing experiences with great people
April 21, 2020by: Emma Campbell - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Before I decided to intern in Ireland, I was unsure of my next move in life: I felt slightly stuck and stagnant. So when I stumbled upon the opportunity to intern with the Intern Group, I jumped at the chance. It is a decision I will be thanking myself for for many years to come. I was able to apply myself in a new direction and experience new and exciting things with an amazing group of people. After I had been accepted into the program, I prepared myself to be a solo tourist; however, as soon as I stepped off of the plane I was supported by the Dublin team and immediately welcomed into the group that was already there. The team cultivated a sense of unparalleled community that maintained as a constant through all of the trips and outings along the way. I made so many connections on top of the cultural and professional experiences (those too surpassing the expectations I had in place before leaving home). As an organization, the Intern Group is a professional and reliable system that can advance you to new and exciting places. As a group of people, the Intern Group cannot get much better; it would be a worthy challenge to try to find a team more enthusiastic about helping you to find the opportunities, people, and places that you would not be able to find in most other settings.
Dublin internship
April 19, 2020by: Edward Aston - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Dublin
The Intern Group was everything wanted and expected plus more. Paul, John, and Chelsea were all exceptional in every area. My placement gave me some incredibly valuable experience that will help me in my future career, and the community/social life was incredible. I would highly recommend the Intern Group as a whole but Dublin in particular to anyone considering it.
Dublin internship: highly recommend
April 17, 2020by: Jennifer Murray - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a wonderful time on my Dublin Internship. I was very nervous before I arrived, but my nerves were quickly quashed when I met my fellow interns and experience organisers all of whom were fantastic. My internship was at a law firm with very friendly and welcoming supervisors. It provided me with such incredible skills and experience that I will be able to us in my future career. There were a number of social and cultural events that were organised for us, and these were brilliant. It really gave us unique, Irish experiences and help us bond and form lasting friendships with fellow interns. It was a very well organised experience that I would highly recommend.
Amazing experience
April 17, 2020by: Olesya Pogorelova - CanadaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I had a really amazing experience in all aspects. My internship has definitely taught me so many skills I didn’t expect to learn, and has helped progress my career. I was able to work in close proximity to senior leadership in a position that is not easy to secure without years and years of previous experience. The program included several tours that’s were very well planned out. Employees go above and beyond to be helpful. My place was small but perfect, and my roomates and friends I have made were incredible. Definitely not an experience I can ever forget. I am so grateful for my time in Hong Kong and I recommend to everyone!
A fantastic internship!
April 13, 2020by: Josephine Berler - United StatesI had a great internship in Santiago. I learned a lot, my coworkers were welcoming and fun, and The Intern Group was always organized, responsive, and helpful. There is so much to do in and around Santiago, especially during the summer! I would definitely recommend the program.
More than just professional learning!
April 02, 2020by: Hanna Skehill - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
Over the span of 6 months I had the incredible opportunity to live and work in Manhattan NYC, and while yes, I learned more about my profession, what truly impacted me is what I learned about myself. In this environment you can safely explore so much about who you are and the deeper elements of the job you've been drawn to, in a new sometimes unfamiliar) but safe environment. The internship itself is only one part of the experience, and how much you make of this program is completely up to you. I had some late work nights, some extra work events, made friends with people in my co-working space as well as my co-workers, explored the city on my own as well as with others. I tried to take every opportunity I could and loved every minute, even when the work was hard, or I was tired (often that's when I learned the most). It is hard to fully explain just how much I gained from this experience, the friends (other interns as well as coworkers and New Yorkers), the professional experience, the self-confidence, the personal insight; I am truly a better version of myself having done this program. Before I went, while I had completed my studies, I found myself a little hesitant on the next steps and selling myself on resumes had never been a real skill I possessed, now not only do I have more drive and ideas for my future but a level of confidence in myself, beyond "practical skills", that is incredibly priceless to me.



Really experience Thai culture, while furthering your professional career
March 30, 2020by: Jacqueline Altmann - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
Interning in Bangkok, I have seen my professional and cultural skills flourish. I was a landscape architecture intern at Landprocess for the duration of 8 weeks. During my time there I grew and developed my communication and technical skills through a range of hands on projects. The internship was challenging — but in all the best ways. The education goes beyond the traditional model of your university studies, and pushes you to be creative and innovative. One of the highlights was the collaborative nature of the workplace culture. The friendships and connections formed during my time in Bangkok will stay with me for years to come. This program was a fantastic way to really experience Thai culture, all while furthering my professional career. The inclusive cultural experiences were a great way to get to know the other interns, as well as hour new home — Bangkok. If you are someone who wants to excel in their field, explore the world, and meet interesting, new people from different cultures, this program is for you!
The Intern Group do well in a crisis
March 28, 2020by: David Webb - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
We're writing this about the programme set up for our daughter and to say how well the Intern Group have responded to the coronavirus crisis. She arrived in New York for an internship with a not-for-profit just before the outbreak. On her third day in work, it was discovered that the second person with a confirmed case of the virus worked in her building, which was closed down straight away. Over the next ten days, she had to work from home but while the placement organisation were doing their best, there wasn't much they could offer her to do. It soon became clear that the internship was being overtaken by much bigger events and there was no prospect of meaningful work experience. At this point, our daughter agreed with the Intern Group that it was best to suspend the programme, and she left New York to stay with friends in Toronto. Throughout this difficult and stressful time, everyone we were in touch with at the Intern Group were great. Brian, the contact in New York, could not have done more and went out of his way to help. Hannah, the Americas Head of Experience, has also been tremendous, taking time to call and to follow up all our concerns and questions. Moreover, the Intern Group has agreed that all the 'unused' time and costs on the internship - including rent - can be held over and put towards a new position and experience once this nightmare with coronavirus is over. This has made a huge difference to our daughter, who feared that months of planning, working, and saving had been wiped out. Through all this desperately difficult time, the Intern Group's focus has been on treating everyone well and fairly - even, no doubt, where it has come at a financial cost to them. For this, they deserve a lot of credit, and certainly have our thanks. Well done!
This program was one of the best decisions I have made. It's an experience that truly changes you
March 09, 2020by: Jennifer Rodriguez - United StatesStudying in El Salvador, I had not found many opportunities in the sustainability/renewable energy sector, given that the sector is new and companies are rarely open to interns. The time I had at Hybrytec, a solar energy company in Colombia, was truly unforgettable and I got to learn about the way panels work and are installed, I got to see the roofs before and after installations, and many more operational aspects within the company. Being a native Spanish speaker, I did not have problems with the language barrier, which also made it easier for me to ask questions and talk to people around Colombia. I got to spend my birthday, Christmas, and new year in Colombia, although this made me nervous at first, it was lovely to spend it with the intern family. I met awesome people, interns, and coworkers, that I'm sure will be friends for life. The knowledge I acquired at Hybrytec is priceless and I am sure it will open many doors for me when I graduate later this year and search for a full-time job. Without hesitation, this program was one of the best decisions I have made for my personal and professional growth. It's an experience that truly changes you, from getting used to foreign public transport, being thousands of miles away from friends and family, meeting someone new every day, and so much more. The staff made sure we had everything we needed from the moment we arrive. The apartment was located in the safest neighborhood in Medellin, we had an orientation that was really helpful to know the details provided in advance. The people in Medellin are amazing and some of the friendliest I have ever met. I would do it again and recommend everyone seeking international opportunities/experience to do it!!

Inner world trip
March 03, 2020by: Camila Telles - BrazilProgram: Internships in New York
It was totally important for my professional growth and even more for the personal. Volunteering at Teen Cancer America was incredible, everybody is so caring, friendly and capable that made it such an experience to me!
A truly fantastic experience!
February 28, 2020by: John Brimage - Northern IrelandProgram: Internships in New York
I interned in Los Angeles on the 24 week program and I can honestly say it is one of the most worthwhile and enjoyable experiences I've had. The workplace culture was extremely welcoming and the program organisers/coordinators were very involved and helped to ensure I got to experience both the community and culture of the area. The weekly events held were often to areas or attractions that were iconic or culturally significant like the trip to Griffith Observatory or Santa Monica Pier, and those that weren't were helpful for skill building and job searching/resume writing. The work was both challenging and worthwhile which also improved the experience and I would absolutely return if given the opportunity! I cannot overstate the usefulness and quality of this experience for those looking for an international internship. The people I met while on placement are still good friends and we keep in contact to regularly update each other and catch up. Any of the very few issues I had while there were also quickly dealt by the coordinators which really helped to calm my worries of being in a new country and new workplace. I cant imagine myself having done anything else for my placement now having been on this program and can't recommend it enough.
Had a really lovely experience
February 11, 2020by: Leanne Dudley - United KingdomReally enjoyed my time in Santiago. The team were really welcoming and always there to help if you have any troubles, everyone became like my big Chile-based family. Everything one could ever need was within walking distance such as the shopping mall, supermarkets, ice-cream stalls, the gym and endless cafes. Overall, I highly recommend.
An unforgettable experience
January 28, 2020by: Louis Lopez - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Doing an internship abroad was an experience because not only did I fulfill the goal of going abroad, I did it in a way that will benefit me in my future career. As a graduating senior, I came into The Intern Group with a clear understanding of what I wanted to accomplish in the area of work I have been studying. Being in Japan for my internship was an amazing experience I will never forget because I do not know when I would do this again, but if I ever get the chance to, I would. The Intern Group makes the application process simple and works hard in getting a suitable placement for you, yet it is up to you, to stay proactive and try to learn as you go. Accommodations were simple, I stayed with other interns which made my stay even more enjoyable, social and cultural events are part of what you pay so, take advantage of those opportunities because it gives you a taste of different things to do in Japan. Overall my time spent here in Tokyo was incredible and can not wait to come back.
Santiago: A beautiful place to work and live!
January 27, 2020by: Katie Tincello - United KingdomMy time in Santiago has been fantastic. I have learnt so much through my work placement and gained valuable experience for my future career. The placement has opened up so many new options I hadn't thought of before by exposing me to new industries and challenging me to apply my skills in a different way. Through The Intern Group, I was able to meet new people and explore a new culture with trips to Museums, a Vineyard, and other activities in the city. The Intern Group offers a welcoming community and a great experience for cultural immersion, as well as an opportunity to hone your professional work skills and look towards the future and explore career options. Santiago is a beautiful city and I am grateful for the opportunity to have spent time here.

Time of my life
January 22, 2020by: Nida Asif - PakistanProgram: Internships in New York
I had a great experience here at my work place. I had a beneficial experience from the research program here. I had gain a good experience of my research work that will be valuable for my next coming professional work.
Loved it!
January 21, 2020by: Erica Papadopoulos - CanadaProgram: Internships in New York
The Intern Group was definitely worth it. I had an amazing three months living in the city and making unforgettable friends and gaining valuable life experience. Visa process and accommodation were extremely seamless thanks to the intern group!
The best way to travel and learn
January 10, 2020by: Stefan Bex - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The Intern Group facilitated an unforgettable experience, from both social and professional perspectives. Their service was without fault, and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, all of whom were helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. Not only did they make me feel comfortable in the unfamiliar setting of Tokyo, but from the first day they created an inclusive and fun atmosphere amongst fellow interns. On top of this, they introduced me to a fantastic workplace, providing me with a landmark experience which I am confident will focus and accelerate my career development. The whole internship exceeded my wildest expectations, and I could not find fault with a single element of my three month stay in Japan. I have already recommended The Intern Group to my friends, and I am incredibly jealous of anyone soon to embark on this journey.
An invaluable experience
December 23, 2019by: Penn Crum - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
This experience truly blew away all expectations. With the help of the experience coordinators and the ease of The Intern Groups process it makes the whole experience memorable and unstressful. The company I was interning for was amazing, they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming, while challenging me to do the best I can in whatever work I did. I learned valuable skills while also improving on the skills I did have to work at a professional level. I met lifelong friends and made a network of professional acquaintances. It was the best experience I could've had with traveling abroad and an internship experience.
A good taste of how it is like to live in Japan
December 21, 2019by: Zachary Chang - TaiwanProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I have been to Japan quite a few times but coming for an internship is a brand new experience. Coming through the intern group I was able to experience actually living in Japan and not just being here as a tourist.They connect you to great companies, and the staffs are very helpful throughout the whole program.
A rewarding experience
December 16, 2019by: Ana T - United KingdomMy time in Santiago with the Intern Group was fantastic! I was able to really take that first step into the world of work and learn a lot more not only about working environments but also myself. I can't thank the team at the Intern Group office in Santiago enough for all their support during my time there, especially since my programme took place during a time of social unrest in the city. Nevertheless, I had a great time not only in terms of my internship placement but also because of how warm the people are. It was incredibly easy to forge close friendships with co-workers as well as other interns on the programme and I felt incredibly supported during difficult moments. Santiago is a great city with lots to see and do. The bustling atmosphere won't feel too foreign to those used to large cities but people from less noisy places won't feel too overwhelmed either. There is a distinct Latin-American feel to the city but it has a growing sense of modernity and it isn't too rural. It's a fantastic place to confidently step out of your comfort zone without completely being thrown into the deep end with no help!
Personal & professional experiences that I will carry with me for the rest of my life
November 30, 2019by: Joshua Snowdon - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
My two months flew by and it was the best time of my life. Even before arriving The Intern Group were amazing at making sure I was completely prepared before arriving and absolving and concerns I had. Upon arrival the events coordinators were brilliant, always contactable and making sure that we never at any point felt alone in what would have been an incredibly daunting environment otherwise. The internship they found in my preferred legal field was very relaxed and all very accommodating. The additional trips Tarn & First organised were always of an incredible quality - allowing the greatest amount of cultural immersion that we otherwise would never have found on our own. Living and exploring Bangkok with the other Interns was an amazing experience as well as having time to explore other parts of Thailand flying to places such as Chiang Mai and Phuket. Overall an amazing experience and anyone with any kind of doubts should absolutely go for it as it is such an awesome life changing experience - my only regret is not staying longer!
Unforgettable experience
November 29, 2019by: Gus van Manen - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I wish i could extend my time in the program! This was a once in a lifetime experience that i will never forget. The friends i made and the work experience i got was second to none. Plus you get to explore all aspects of Tokyo on the weekends which is super awesome. The events that are planned are really well thought out and really elevate your experience. I would happily do this experience again in Tokyo or somewhere new.
Best 6 month experience!
November 21, 2019by: Kate Sasser - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I would completely recommend this experience! I spent 6 months in Melbourne and had the time of my life! From a work perspective, I thought the placement was perfect for me. Before I went, I made it clear what type of job and what industry I wanted and they set that up perfectly. People in my program were either doing a gap year or gaining work experience after college and everyone seemed happy with their situation. Since I was committing to half a year in Australia, I was nervous at first with finding friends and meeting people other than co-workers. However, the intern group made it so easy for me- I met people from all over the world instantly. They have a bunch of included events and optional events that are all so fun and different which gives you a chance to experience the city while making lifelong bonds with people. Even though the apartment complex wasn't too nice, I thought the great location and the fact that you meet local students was totally worth it. I was too busy having so much fun in the complex lobby and in the city with friends that I was hardly ever in my room! Overall, Melbourne is the best city ever! It has everything you could ever ask for in both city life and nearby beautiful nature. I loved it so much that I am now coming back for grad school for 3 more years. This experience changed my life!
Gained a great cultural and professional experience and found friends of a lifetime!
November 18, 2019by: Coralie Niggeler - SwitzerlandProgram: Internships in New York
I can only recommend The Interngroup! I spent 4 amazing months in New York. They gave me the opportunity of interning at a great company, while also allowing me to make friends I know I will keep for the rest of my life. I can only recommend this program, and could not possibly think of a negative thing to say!
Time of my life
November 12, 2019by: Meridian Jordan - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The Intern Group is an amazing company, I made great friends and had so much fun at all of the events. The staff made me feel really welcomed, safe and cared for. I'd 10/10 come back and recommend this to my friends. This program really helped me grow as a person and helped me find what I'd like to do when i get older. I'm super thankful for my time here and I wish i had more! I'm going to be sad when I leave but I know i can take this experience with me anywhere i go and apply it to where i end up. The friends and people I met are going to be my friends for the rest of my life (hopefullY) everything I learned here made me more mature and ready for my future. I'll miss the intern group.
The best 8 weeks ever!
November 12, 2019by: Katie McWilliams - ScotlandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I spent 8 weeks in Melbourne for my internship and it was a fantastic experience which I would fully recommend! From day one, you feel instantly welcomed and supported by the intern team and you get to meet lots of other interns there too which is a great way to make friends. There are also loads of social events going on where you get to meet lots of new people such as the Yarra valley wine tour, going to the Marvel stadium to watch a game of Aussie footie or going to to the wildlife sanctuary. My internship was with an energy consulting firm. The firm was very friendly, inviting and really made you feel part of the team. I got to be a part of meetings, reviews and got a really helpful insight into consulting. It's hard not to love Melbourne, living there for 8 weeks was amazing. There is always something going on from Christmas markets to music festivals. You can cuddle koalas and visit some local penguins. It's great for food, art, music and shops. Even walking around the city is fun and interesting with all the street art and live music. There is no need to travel beyond Melbourne but if you have never been to Australia and you are excited to explore and get to see different places, it is also very easy to travel around. I visited Sydney and Cairns during my time there which were both incredible experiences.

Tokyo is amazing
October 08, 2019by: Koyur Abdul - BangladeshProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Tokyo was amazing, the culture, the sights and the technology are on another level. I have never seen anywhere as busy as Shibuya Crossing, honestly so good. Shaina and Airi are so helpful too, literally help with everything, can never thank them enough.
Well-organized internship and outstanding cultural experience
October 07, 2019by: Matthias E - GermanyProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
I´ve recently spent 6 weeks in Bangkok to join the international internship Program hosted by the intern group. The support from the Intern Group is remarkable. Even before my arrival in Bangkok I was professionally guided through all Visa steps and I received helpful advice that need to be considered when travelling and working abroad. By the time I arrived in Bangkok all new interns were welcomed with an authentic Thai-dinner and a supplementary orientation presentation given by staff from the Intern Group. After this I felt well- prepared for my first working day. Throughout my whole internship (Consultancy) I was fully involved in several interesting and challenging consulting projects that definitely equipped me with useful and new knowledge for my further professional career. Alongside the internship we had the opportunity to travel on weekends and to socialise with other interns from the program coming from all over the world (either on weekends or in evening events). My overall experience is far beyond my expectations - so everyone who is seeking a new and challenging professional experience and who is open-minded and keen to meet international people will have a great time in Bangkok!!
Tokyo, a city so welcoming I could call it Toky-Home!
September 20, 2019by: Hedge Haiden - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
During my stay in Japan, I spent six weeks in Tokyo, working for an amateur theatre group called 'The Yokohama Theatre Group' working on a non-dialogue based production of Greek playwright Sophocles' play 'Antigone'. I was given the roles of actor, singer, and sound programmer. The latter required me to learn a sound cue building program called QLAB, something which I managed to do in approximately seven days. This was probably one of my proudest feats, but I also highly enjoyed going back into the acting world and portraying King Creon. I also had considerable free time to spend traveling around the many districts of Tokyo, including Shibuya, Nakano, Koto, and Akihabara. Japan is also very accommodating to those that don't speak the native language, with a lot of signs and instructions in English. If none are available, there are plenty of people who speak enough English to help anyone who needs any additional assistance. All in all, this experience has been one of the best things to happen to me, even though I'm much older than many other applicants. At the age of 41, The Intern Group was happy to help me out, and provide me with a company that would suit my needs and talents. I have made new friends and new contacts, and more than a small desire to return to Japan at some point in the future.
Work hard beats the talent
September 17, 2019by: Sanjay Jataria - IndiaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The main purpose of life is to work and develop our society , talent isn’t important but work hard should be life goal. Life is all about wanderlust, working, journeys. So I believe not to sit back and work for humanity.
Exceeded my expectations
September 10, 2019by: Lucrezia Portigliatti - ItalyProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
This experience has absolutely exceeded my expectations. Not only did it give me the opportunity to work in a professional environment and learn valuable, transferrable skills, but it also gave me the chance to meet interesting and driven young interns from all over the world and fully appreciate the local culture. I would definitely apply again and stay for a longer period of time.
Lived my best life
September 05, 2019by: Eleonora Gambino - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
The time I spent in New York was great, I met wonderful people and enjoyed every day. The work environment was also surprisingly friendly and flexible. I had a great time. Only thing for the services they offer, the intern group is quite overpriced.
Amazing experience professionally and socially
September 05, 2019by: Sophie Winsche - GermanyProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Doing this internship in Tokyo was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From a professional point of view, the consulting internship in the tech industry opened many doors for me! Personally, I have learned to adopt to different environments and to communicate and work effectively across cultures. The in country staff did an amazing job in organizing many different kinds of events and bringing the Japanese culture closer to the interns. It felt like visiting good friends in Tokyo!
Professional and cultural acquaintance
September 05, 2019by: Manos - GreeceProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
China is one of the most demanding places as far as architecture and constructions are concerned. That’s why an internship in that field in Shanghai is really useful for a student. You get to learn a lot about the working environment and also to meet amazing people.
Great experience
September 04, 2019by: Ludovica Greco - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Perfectly organized, it was a great experience :) The job placement was great, and so was the accommodation. I learnt a lot, while also being able to enjoy myself. I also experienced the culture of the hosting country fully, also thanks to the event that have been organised by the Intern Group. Overall the internship was a success !
The best two months of my life
September 02, 2019by: Simona Colucci - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
Honestly, I am soo glad I came across TIG, they made my NY experience unforgettable. I highly recommend getting an agency to assist you in the whole process as it can be very difficult, not only to find an internship but also for the whole VISA situation, therefore hiring an agency is the best way to go. The Intern Group were highly professional, they helped me with every little aspect and through them the whole VISA process was extremely easy. I very much enjoyed my internship, but the whole experience was made by the people I met, and I met them through The Intern Group! This agency will place you in the same accommodation as all the other interns, which means loads of friends and chances to meet extraordinary people. The accommodation that TIG proposes (850 West End Ave) is lovely, with a stunning rooftop; however, be aware that in the Summer they also use another building (315 W94th St) which is great in terms of location, nonetheless I did experience a few problems with mice and cockroaches. Although these problems were successfully solved by TIG, I highly suggest TIG to stop using this building and place all interns in the same building (850). Lastly, big shout-out to Brian Limbo, the New York experience coordinator. He is literally amazing, always ready to help and with a smile on his face. Honestly, Brian will be there for you at any time of the day. Overall, my NY experience was the best time of my life so far and I've got TIG to thank for that. Highly recommend!
Opening doors to my future in Japan
September 01, 2019by: Leo Horsman - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I heard about The Intern Group (TIG) from a friend at university who did an internship in Shanghai the previous year. He got me interested in the opportunity to take a summer internship abroad, so I looked further into TIG to find that I had to option to take up an internship in Tokyo. As an English-Japanese bilingual living in the UK, I had the thought of working abroad in Japan lurking in the back of my mind. Hence, I took up the opportunity to undertake an internship in Tokyo, so that I could get a taster for what work and life are like there. TIG was very helpful in helping me secure an internship, organising interviews and such with various companies, and I eventually settled on a small start-up company called TRINUS. As TIG knew I was fluent in Japanese, they matched me up with TRINUS and it was just as well because my interview was in Japanese. Luckily enough for me, I was just the right person for the job and I was accepted as an intern. The job at TRINUS TRINUS is a small start-up company founded in 2014, and it operates as a fabrication-less manufacturer. The company works to bring together under-utilised manufacturing technologies, designers and end-users to produce a variety of unique products which make the most of Japanese technology. TRINUS is a small company with only 10 employees, none of whom speak English. As a result, it was my job to help expand the global reach of the company as an English-Japanese bilingual. My role was quite varied with me doing things such as: • Welcoming visitors for meetings • Answering the phone in Japanese and English • Writing and replying to customer emails in English and Japanese • Visiting clients to present sales pitches • Visiting expos at Tokyo big site • Taking care of the company's Instagram and writing bilingual posts every day. The job is a bit of a departure from my usual line of work as a mechanical engineering student however, it's just what I was looking for to get a taste of Japanese work. The job has helped me out with my translation skills and mannerisms when dealing with Japanese clients immensely, preparing me for my future in Japan. The people at the office are great too and we've spent time outside of work doing things like seaside BBQs, playing football, visiting onsens etc. All in all, the job was great, just like the people there. Housing I stayed in a share residence on the outskirts of Kanagawa prefecture, about an hour away from central Tokyo. It was a very fun place to be as there was a healthy mix of people, foreign and Japanese. I was a bit of a bridge between the two demographics as a bilingual, and it was great fun because it meant I got to know everyone pretty well. The house itself is very clean and spacious and is generally a fun place to be. Events TIG organised a variety of events from going up the Tokyo Tower to Fuji, izakaya trips and sushi-making and more. My favourite events were the more outdoorsy ones such as going river swimming as it makes a nice change from the city. I also made quite a few Japanese friends outside of TIG and the things I got up to with them were great too. I got up to things such as going to beaches, going snorkelling and going to Comiket. The internship has been great as it has opened up a door to a future in Japan for me. It has helped me make connections with a variety of companies in Japan, along with connections with people who I'm likely to stay friends with for a long time to come.

Excellent experience
September 01, 2019by: Rowland Young - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
The Intern Group really lives up to its reputation. I had an unforgettable experience where I immersed myself into a different culture and learned more about myself professionally and personally. Thank you so much to everyone involved.
Fruitful and memorable summer
August 30, 2019by: Victoria Podiono - IndonesiaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
My summer internship experience with Workshift Solutions was such a fruitful and memorable one. I had great bosses, lovely colleagues who really had faith in my abilities to contribute to the team, which was what I appreciated the most about this experience. It was a small team, and yet everyone was so friendly and genuine, never did I feel lonely or ostracized for being the only foreigner in the team! In fact, being non-Japanese made me feel like I could contribute more to the team whenever they entrusted me with translation tasks, let me directly communicate with clients and so on. Had I not known of The Intern Group, there was no way I could have possibly found out about this company through my own means. That is why I am so grateful for The Intern Group, as they have granted me this amazing learning opportunity, in a country which I've always wanted to experience working in- Japan.
Great learning experience
August 28, 2019by: Banesa Hernandez - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
From this internship I was hoping to learn more about an aspect of my career path. I was placed in an environment where they had dealt with interns before so that was an easy transition into the company as they knew how to handle the situation. I was very pleased with the way the Intern Group worked with my academic and professional requirements (hours I needed to complete, what I wanted to learn, etc.). I loved how quick and how responsive they were, the pick-up and drop-off to the airport made me feel safe and less stressed, and the activities were great ways to meet the other interns as well. They take their work serious so it is a sure way of getting your moneys worth. I was also very pleased with my living accommodation, though I was with other students who were not part of this program at first, I met some wonderful individuals with who I hope to remain in contact here on out. The program directors Caterina and Lalita were wonderful and welcoming individuals and were always willing to chat about any issue, concern or comment you may have throughout your experience with this program. I would definitely recommend this program as a way to expose yourself internationally!
Best way to gain experience
August 27, 2019by: Naryan Shukle - CanadaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The intern group definitely exceeded my expectations; my internship was fantastic and gave me amazing work at a high level, and they handled all the boring stuff nobody wants to do (visas, housing, etc) so that I could focus on working hard, then having fun with friends on the weekends
Tokyo? Toky-GO!
August 26, 2019by: Andy Moser - SwitzerlandProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Whoever said “if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere” clearly has never been to Tokyo. The opportunity to live and work in Tokyo has given me professional skills I will be using for the rest of my life. The intern group Tokyo has not only made my stay in Japan magical but they stood by me every step of the way to facilitate the best possible experience in such a foreign country. The accommodation was amazing and all the activities were flexible allowing interns to contribute ideas towards what they would like to see. I had an amazing time and highly recommend this program!
Life changing!
August 26, 2019by: Patricio Montalvo - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Thanks to this program, I could now say that I’ve opened a new and better chapter of my profesional life. Before this experience, I already had some goals in mind, but thanks to the wonderful people I worked with now I know clearly the kind of person I want to become in life. Tokyo is a great city to inspire you to want to innovate, and use the full potential of the technology you have around you. The accommodation was amazing, I can say that I’ve made life-long friends, and the events have created some great memories and good stories to tell. I would definitely recommend anyone not to miss the chance of applying and going on this program.

Great time and fabulous experience!
August 21, 2019by: Diego Recalde - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had an awesome time working for my company, met a lot of awesome people and got to interact with them in a nice corporate setting. One of my favorite part of the internship was the housing and the location of it, also the city and its environment made my stay amazing. Don't doubt about going to Barcelona, because it will be the best time of your life!
I had a time of my life!
August 20, 2019by: Aizhan Zhusupova - KazakhstanProgram: Internships in New York
Awesome! The Intern Group New York met all my expectations in terms of the work, housing and 24/7 assistance. Now I definitely have a huge progress and outstanding resume. My supervisor was very kind and clear whenever he gave us any tasks. My main responsibility was taking care of export documents. That’s pretty much what Chambers of Commerce do. I also participated in lots of networking events organized by our chamber and met a lot of useful people.

Life changing experience
August 20, 2019by: Yazan Dabdoub - JordanProgram: Internships in New York
One of the most memorable life experiences packed with plenty of activities and events alongside the great development workshops that help self reflect on personal careers and life decisions, that supported me so much in my future plans and solidified my career aspirations. The actual internship was more than I could ask for, the environment was extremely welcoming and friendly and work was very inclusive. Responsibilities on the job allowed to work on major projects and strategies that impacted the business first hand with noticeable and quantifiable achievements that induce even more motivation to grow. The work loads were very reasonable yet challenging enough to be able to go the extra mile for actually learning and developing new skills and attributes. Overall this program is definitely the best investment I've made in my life looking at it from both a business and a lifestyle perspective. 100% would recommend.
Amazing summer experience!
August 11, 2019by: Nuria Sanz - SpainProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The intern group took my internship to the next level with lot of activities, excursions, events and even workshops. A very professional team is available 24/7 for any request you might have. If you want to have an unforgettable experience don't pass this opportunity and get into the fam! Thanks the intern group! What a journey!
Good international experience
August 08, 2019by: Yimeng Chen - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
Once in a life time international internship. I’ve learned QuickBooks coding, finance and supply chain knowledge and practices though taking daily orders and invoicing. I’ve got to know various working styles, different working pace and culture difference between US, Hong Kong and mainland China. I get to know operation and working style of a startup, and also understand more about international accounting standards and practices. US Business has encouraging learning environment. People are self-driven and love taking initiatives.
I would choose this program 10x over!
August 07, 2019by: Ciara Middleton - United StatesSantiago itself is unbelievable. It quite honestly exceeded any and all of my expectations! Either the Andes or the Coastal Mt. Range are visible everywhere you look making each day stunning. The sunsets are next-level beautiful and there are countless opportunities to be outside (hiking, winter sports, surfing...everything!). The city is metropolitan and the student accommodation building we all stayed in is very central in a nice, more residential-seeming neighborhood. The Intern Group is very well organized and every group of interns gets an 'Experience Coordinator' who works for TIG and will organize something to do as a group every Saturday (not mandatory, but all extremely fun like vineyard tours, day trips outside of the city, etc). They are your point-person if you have any questions or concerns and just generally make sure everyone is comfortable. I lived with a mix of the other program interns, Chilean students, and students from other parts of the world (mostly other Latin American countries). This was intimidating at first because I came to Santiago with virtually no Spanish, but I ended up making friends for life that are spread all around the globe! People were always really patient with my broken Spanish and equally as eager to learn English from me as I was to learn Spanish from them!
Best experience
August 07, 2019by: Rebecca Lee - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
One of the best experiences! Working in a different environment, learning new things and gaining knowledge. But also making new friends that I will be friends with forever, and living in one of the most famous cities in the world is amazing :)
My #TIGTokyo experience
August 05, 2019by: Michaela Mitchell - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Traveling to live and work in a country where you do not speak the same language and where the culture is so different from what you've previously experienced can be daunting. I soon learned I had nothing to be afraid of. Being immersed in Japanese culture and living in Tokyo for two months is something I will NEVER forget. Not only did I receive amazing work experience with my company, but The Intern Group staff created an environment that was safe and a community that was supportive and friendly. Along with the complimentary events like visiting Mt. Fuji, learning how to make sushi, and touring izakayas in Shinjuku, The Intern Group staff encouraged and facilitated other events that allowed us to fully experience Japanese culture. We frequently went out to dinner, enjoyed traditional Japanese festivals, and went on excursions to see what the city had to offer. I returned home with fun memories, experience to add to my resume, relationships that I will cherish for a long time, and a new appreciation for Japanese culture. As I write this review, I have only been home for a few days and I already cannot wait to go back. I had the experience of a lifetime and cannot recommend this program enough!



Life long friends and an opportunity to learn
July 31, 2019by: Ehti Sadiq - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
Like many interns, I had no idea what to expect when arriving in a city like Bangkok. Initially being over whelmed with the endless activities on offer it was a pleasant surprise to be welcomed on arrival by the group coordinators and the other interns. Once settled, weekends in Bangkok consisted of cultural immersion sessions such as the Thai cooking classes and trips to famous temples around the area. As a group of interns we also had the opportunity to organize trips to nearby islands and beaches, where we were able to participate in water sports, be consumed by breath taking scenery and try out local cuisines. The internship itself was an incredible experience full of opportunities to network and meet high profile individuals. I was able to provide my input on relevant pieces which were published on behalf of the companies research reports. Not only was the research task very informative but also rewarding to know that my work was to be viewed by a large client base. Over the course of my internship I was very fortunate to be able to work closely with my manager and the partners of the firm. Their recognition of my efforts has given me the prospect of being able to carry out a future career in Bangkok. All in all, my experience in Bangkok has been invaluable and has played a major role in my development. From learning to live on my own and navigate my way through the busy streets of Bangkok, to stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new cuisine whilst integrating in to a new culture, this internship has been life changing and eye opening. Although I was fortunate enough to receive a job offer on conclusion of my internship, it would not have been possible without the support and help of the intern group coordination team and all the interns during my stay in Bangkok. Their efforts in helping me settle down and showing me the ropes allowed me to focus and excel at work from day one. From the hard working days to the memorable nights i can safely say my six weeks in Bangkok have been life changing.
Great experience!
July 29, 2019by: Timothy Leu - MalaysiaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Everything was nicely put together from the company I interned at to the events and accommodation. Before this, I had never heard of a patient recruitment company but through this, I learned how the industry works as well as the behind the scene things. Writing blogs and past case studies of my company really got me learning things I never would have learned as a science student such as marketing and business in the health industry which opens up possibilities for me in the future. My colleagues were also really supportive and helpful even though they don't speak English. Other than work, there was also plenty of time for me to travel around Tokyo and eat all kinds of food. Lucky we to have interned during the summer as there were loads of festivals taking place everywhere and I really got to immerse into the Japanese culture. The accommodation I had was really good, in a small quiet town not too far from Tokyo and the program coordinators were really helpful with any problems we encounter. All in all, just be open to trying anything while you're here and have fun!
Such as a maturing experience!
July 23, 2019by: Isabel Cleary - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
These 8 weeks have helped me grow so much as a person! The Intern Group was so helpful in each and every way. The living conditions were incredible; I was placed in such a cute neighbourhood where I could easily grocery shop and explore while feeling safe. I was also a 20-minute walk from work. From start to finish this program provides help and support, from rides to and from the airport, weekly activities to help bond with other interns, and almost immediate responses in case of issues, the program exceeded all my expectations. I was so pleased with the level of care I received through this program and would definitely recommend applying to intern abroad. I got to see a major city through living and working like a local, which was an experience that I will hold with me forever.
Barcelona, I love you
July 23, 2019by: Timothy Annee - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
7/23/2019 Barcelona, Spain (8 weeks) Let me just start by saying that if you are considering studying/interning abroad, You need to do it! This has been the most amazing experience of my life! In the beginning, I was very nervous to participate in this program. I had never left the country, and I had never been away from my family for more than a week at a time. Before I left for Barcelona, the stress and anxiety was real. However, I realized that these feelings were normal and warranted, and I soon pushed past them. I boarded the plane excited about what my 2 months in Europe had in store for me. I'm not going to lie, the first week was rather difficult. At first you experience a bit of a culture shock, especially if you are like me who has never been outside of the U.S.A and speak very little Spanish. However, by the time the first weekend rolled around, I was feeling much more comfortable. You begin to get on a schedule, things become more routine, and you accept the fact that, whether you want to be or not, you are in EUROPE and it is a once in a lifetime opportunity (for some people)! I was very lucky to be placed in an apartment, in a very nice neighbourhood (Sarria), with 2 awesome roommates also participating in the program. I cannot tell you how relieving it was to have people living with me that were from the same country and going through the same types of things. It made the experience so much manageable. My 2 roommates were my best friends for those 8 weeks, and I know we will continue to keep in touch! The InternGroup was also a huge help. They provided transportation to and from the airport, as well as comfortable living arrangements. My program coordinator was always just a text away, and responded rather quickly. They even coordinated a ton of events for all of the interns to participate in. This was very helpful as it allowed all of the interns to get to know each other, as well as provided us with fun, cost effective things to do in and around Barcelona. I was very happy with this organization and their involvement in my experience abroad! As far as my actual internship went, I very much enjoyed it and learned a lot. I am an accounting and finance major, and was placed in a role that allowed me to gain experience in both of these fields. I gained communication, problem solving, and critical thinking skills throughout the duration of my internship. I also felt much more immersed in the Spanish culture as I was actually participating in the workforce. I felt very safe in the office I worked at. The other employees were very kind to me and included me much more than I thought they would. I am very excited to be able to have this internship experience in my back pocket when I interview for jobs in the future. This experience, and the skills I gained, cannot be matched. Overall, I am very happy that I decided to participate in this program. I grew so much as an individual. I learned to take care of myself in a way that I never have had to in the past. I grew to understand myself more than I ever have, and for that I am proud. Although I was very excited to return home to my family and friends, part of my heart will always be in Barcelona. I cannot wait to go back! :)
Great program and great people
July 19, 2019by: Andy Henthorn - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
This program really does have it all. You get fantastic trips that are paid for by the program, great accommodations, and fantastic people to spend time with while your abroad. The programs are very broad, so they fit everyone’s desired experience. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The people are extremely nice and generally are from all over the world. Great experience and would do it again.

Great cultural and educational experience!
July 14, 2019by: Lauren Streitmatter - United StatesThe Intern Group placed me at a solar energy company in Santiago where I helped write code to monitor solar plant performance, perfectly matching my interests in engineering, energy, and the environment. The people I met at the office helped me develop and improve my coding skills substantially over the course of my two month internship while also teaching me all about the solar energy industry. They were fun to work with and happily helped expose me to Chilean culture, both of which I greatly appreciated. The residence I stayed at was in a great location and allowed me to meet mostly Chilean students studying at different universities in Santiago. Throughout my trip, everyone at The Intern Group was readily accessible and offered many opportunities to explore Santiago and the surrounding area, filling the weekends with fun events. Overall I really enjoyed my time in South America and have gained many valuable skills both professionally and personally that will benefit me in the future.
Amazing work experience and great colleagues
July 02, 2019by: kexin yu - SingaporeProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I had a really fun and meaningful internship with the Intern Group in my summer holidays. The company I was allocated is very supportive and really allows the interns to have the freedom to express their own ideas. I was able to take my own initiative and carry out my ideas instead of being told what to do by my boss, this experience has really made me grow as a person. The activities planned by the Intern Group were really fun and engaging, we were able to experience the local food and sceneries, giving us an opportunity to know more in-depth about the city. Overall the experience is very memorable for me and I really had lots of fun with the other interns and my colleagues in the company. Last but no least, the accommodation was really new and furnished, the local coordinators are very helpful and they always help us when we have a problem.
Experience of a lifetime
July 02, 2019by: Rachelle Potente - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Through this program, I was able to travel around Japan since I interned for a travel agency. It was not what I expected. I got more out of this internship than I thought I would since my interview process only mentioned things related to recruitment and community development. The timing was great because my company helped in creating marketing strategies for American basketball fans coming for the 2020 Olympics to be held in Japan next year. My internship gave me experience in marketing as well because of these opportunities to help government officials and my company market to an international audience. I also got to experience the fast-paced lifestyle. I saw how historical areas are surrounded by high-tech lifestyle. The program coordinators are kind and they do their best to make sure that you are settled in and comfortable. They are always available 24/7 to help you with anything.

I had an excellent time in NYC!
June 27, 2019by: Yan Sun - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
The Intern Group provides me much supporting and helping during my time in New York. Especially it gives me suggestions about where are the famous places to visit. I would definitely recommend the Intern Group if my friends want to take an internship!
My internship experience in Tokyo
June 27, 2019by: Pasepa Katia - New ZealandProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I had a wonderful experience in Tokyo. I made some really great friendships and connections, learned more about Japanese culture, explored many places in Tokyo (mostly by myself) and interned for a non-profit organization that does amazing work in Japan and within developing Asian countries. I first found out about The Intern Group from the Scholarships Office under Education New Zealand, which funded my entire internship here in Tokyo. After trying to apply for internships through other companies recommended by the Scholarships Office, I decided to give The Intern Group a try. Surprisingly, the application process was very easy and straight forward for me. During my first interview with The Intern Group, I was required to share my primary and secondary choice of the field that I would be interested to work for/intern in. In my case, I was very fortunate to be accepted into an internship that was a mix of my primary and secondary choice. Prior to my arrival in Tokyo, I frequently got in contact with the staff from The Intern Group who responded promptly to my emails. I was also given information about my airport pick up, pin for entry into my accommodation etc which were all very useful. During my stay in Tokyo, The Intern Group organized a number of fun activities such as the Izakaya tour, making sushi with the chefs at Tokyo Sushi Academy, sightseeing at Tokyo Tower, complementary professional workshop for business etiquette in the working environment in Japan and a day trip to Mt. Fuji which was my favourite. In the weekends, I spent most of my time exploring in Tokyo. I went to the Sensoji temple in Asakusa, Meiji Jingu temple in Harajuku, Kamakura, Akihabara, Shinjuku and Shibuya. My favourite solo adventure was to Kamakura because it was away from all the chaos in the city and allowed me to engage with and enjoy nature. I will never forget my experience taking the trains every morning and evening to and from work. Every train ride to or from work was always so crazy and busy but I got used to it within a week of living in Japan. I was also very overwhelmed with the number of people rushing through the train stations and the people traffic in places like Shibuya and Shinjuku. Getting through people traffic in train stations made me appreciate and miss New Zealand because there weren't as many people and there was less chaos. My internship was very challenging yet rewarding and produced great results which added some value to my company. I was forced out of my comfort zone in leading a project that focused on ways to sustain English Education in Japan. I was required to create a detailed plan and contents of each English class. These English classes were conducted online and each content was made to suit each student's level and ability to speak English. The purpose of these English classes was to help each student enjoy learning English which would then motivate them to work hard in order to become fluent in English. During this project, I made sure that I made myself available to each student if they had any concerns and explained some exercises more simply to help them understand what they were learning. After the English classes were completed, all students were very happy with what they had learned, felt that their English had improved to an extent and were now motivated to work even harder so they can improve and become fluent in English. For me, this was very rewarding and it empowered me to try and make a positive difference in the education sector when I return to New Zealand. From this experience, I discovered more of my inner strengths and persisted through these challenges because I wanted this project to be a success and I knew that I had the ability to put in the work that would produce great results. So overall, I'm very grateful for every experience from this internship. I wouldn't have learned the skills and the experience that I did from this internship. If you are thinking of interning abroad, I would highly recommend you to do it. It's a fantastic learning experience! If I were to give any advice from my experience, it would be to make the most of your time interning abroad; go out of your comfort zone and do things that you wouldn't normally do. Secondly, give your internship your best shot. Persevere through every challenge and never be comfortable where you are, always set goals and strive to achieve them. For me personally, there is nothing more satisfying than successfully overcoming challenges and gives me hope that I can tackle any challenge life will throw at me sooner or later.
Living like a New Yorker
June 27, 2019by: Aylah Reeya Macasindil - PhilippinesProgram: Internships in New York
My overall internship experience was awesome! Definitely worth it. This would not have been possible without The Intern Group’s very accommodating staff. My host company was amazing, great people plus I learned a lot. I would not have this in any other way.
Was apprehensive at first but it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life!
June 26, 2019by: Coralie Champandard - FranceProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
At the time of writing, I’ve been in Bangkok doing my internship for 2 and a half weeks and it's going very well! I'm loving my internship, the company's amazing and I feel motivated to work hard for them. They've got 9 other interns, 7 of which are french like me! First week was scary at first (I appreciate having the Talkspace membership if I need it) but went a lot smoother once I met the other Intern Group interns. I get along particularly well with my roommate! We've been organizing a lot of group activities since so many of us are new, for instance all going to the store together so that we know where it is, walking to the BTS station together the first few days or going to dinner together. The housing's nice as well, the pool is particularly enjoyed by quite a few of us interns! It's very reassuring to have all the interns on the same 2 floors, as well as having a roommate. Finding myself living all alone on a continent I've never been before, in a country where I don't speak the language would have been more frightening! But having the other interns close by is reassuring and soothing. Events went well as well! So far I've done the Ayuttayah trip and the presentation skills class, both of which I loved. The detective day trip and the thai cooking class will be in 2 weeks for me. Tarn and First (event coordinators) have been particularly helpful. I got lost on my way to work the first day and I don't know what I would have done if First wasn't online to help me. Tarn called me that evening to help me sort out my route as well. Both of them could not have been more friendly or helpful, which also makes the whole experience much more enjoyable. I know some of the other interns have had some issues eg very strict/mean bosses or particularly long working hours or demanding expectations, but personally I've been incredibly lucky. The work environment is relaxed and everyone is super friendly here, which as stated above makes me want to achieve my best work. Coralie
Unforgettable experiences
June 26, 2019by: Leonardo Alexander Cahuana Chumbes - PeruProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
My internship in Seikowave was intriguing, before starting, fascinating, in the course, and unforgettable at the end. If you are looking for an internship outside of your comfort zone with incredible people, this is not to be missed.
It was a very good experience in South America
June 17, 2019by: Sydney Lu - ChinaI spent 2 months working in an investment bank in Santiago, Chile, I met very intelligent people in my office and obtained the interview opportunity in the London office. I got to see what banking industry is like and knew what different sectors undertake for their jobs. It’s been a good experience in Chile, the most economically stable country in Cono Sur.


A priceless experience
June 17, 2019by: Tecla De Marco - ItalyI had one of the best experience of my life thanks to the Intern Group. I felt like I was part of an awesome family, able to understand my needs. The events have been very useful to know people from all over the world and the internship made me more confident of my strength points and my professional skills. I think it’s a priceless experience because I came back home enriched.
Interning life made fun!
June 12, 2019by: Suraj Deshini - IndiaHad an amazing 3 months while interning in London due to the InternGroup Team. They were helpful from the day of the initial interview to the very end of the internship. The social events were awesome as I got to meet a lot of new interns and at the same time visit a new part of London each time. Would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain experience in their field of study and at the same time enjoy outside the workplace. Its a good balance!
It's life changing, if you let it be
June 11, 2019by: Gabrielle Suryn - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My review is going to be long, so if you came for a full detailed review. Here it goes. I stayed 8 weeks in Barcelona! First of all, some DISCLAIMERS. Depending on WHERE you do your internship, the experience will change. Every country is different and also the group is still working on standards for every destination. Which means, they are working on making sure that no matter where you go your experience will be almost the same apart from as I mentioned, cultural differences. Be understanding and ask specific questions. For housing, every country is different, price wise but also value for the price can differ on neighbourhoods and whether they have enough interns to afford a certain apartment. Do not expect luxury though it doesn't mean you WON'T get something really cool. It just means, it depends on the availability and how many interns they need to house. So, expect the worst and you will be okay (like in any situation). I wasn't impressed by mine at first, but I made suggestions to the agency with the Internship group and they really did do what I suggested. Also, buy some cute little things and make your room your own! It will be your safe place and sanctuary. Most important, give yourself time you will find a comfort zone and a routine and you will be relieved! Money wise: Come prepared, one thing I didn't't do was create a bank account in Barcelona and get a local credit card. It's much smarter your will waste less money on transaction fees and it's an advantage for when you travel anywhere in Europe from then on. You must make sure you have at least 3 methods of payment cause you can get stuck, and never carry more than one at a time. Take cash if you can. Internship wise: When it comes to your internship, it is is the same as for the housing, they do their absolute best and they really do have your best interest at heart and it IS their job. Internships can go well because you can "click" super well with the people you work with, OR not so well, BUT the intern group is always there to help and I have seen them work miracles last minute and have my friends change internships that ended up completing their internship on a good note. Like any normal job, you can love it or hate it. Just stay in touch with the Program Coordinator and be honest especially since your entire experience depends on it! Value wise: I WOULD 100% RECOMMEND IT. I made amazing friends, I learnt to depend on myself, I learnt to make the best out of situations, I tried amazing food, I traveled around Europe when I could and I realized I am capable of so much more than I thought. When it comes to what you are paying, you are paying for many things, the apartment, salaries for helping you find an internship and an apartment, the trips that are included or any events, and some additional legal fees and insurance etc. This may not seem like a big deal but it is. If you have any questions, as the person taking care of you in your destination, they will answer your questions. Sidenote: the costs also differ depending on the location! Most importantly, HAVE FUN. Try new foods, SOCIALIZE, go out, travel and do activities, don't judge a book by it's cover, and always ask questions if you have any! Don't be shy you have NOTHING to lose. You're doing it so make make the best of it. This internship opportunity changed my life and if you let it, it will change yours too! 10/10 for overall experience!
Interning in London!
June 03, 2019by: Candace Redmill - United StatesMy experience was nothing short of amazing. UK Immigration lost my VISA which led to a severe 4 week delay in beginning my program. They refunded me money for every week that I was not at my placement during this time. Nick, the Visa specialist, was amazing and supportive during this and went above and beyond to assist me. He was with me every step of the way and kept in constant, daily communication until I arrived in London. After arriving, he continued to keep in contact with me to ensure that I was enjoying my placement and that I did not have any further issues. Since returning home, he has checked in with me to ensure that I arrived safely home. I cannot express the incredible support that was provided to me by the Intern Group. The cultural excursions were amazing and well thought out. Thomas was great and was always reachable by text or call. My university had many special requirements for my internship and IG was all to happy to mold my program the way that I needed it. If you are considering completing an international placement, you will not be in better hands than with the Intern Group. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Highly recommend! Something for everyone
May 28, 2019by: Mohammad Rafe - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
I stayed in Bangkok for a month and will remember this experience for a lifetime. The internship company had me working on a relevant project which made me feel like I was contributing to the company and also allowed me to work flexible hours which let me explore the city. With food stalls, shopping malls and street markets everywhere, there's something for everyone in Bangkok. I loved exploring randomly and would encourage future interns to do the same. It's fairly simple to use the train system and you can always get a motorcycle ride for shorter journeys too! The intern group coordinator in Bangkok was very friendly and helpful too whenever you needed anything. They organised weekly social activities too which were a great way to bond with fellow interns in different companies. The Thai cooking class would be my standout activity and would highly recommend anyone visiting Bangkok to try. I'd also encourage travelling outside Bangkok to Amphwa floating market, Ayuthaya (Old capital), Pattaya beach or even the islands in the south if you can on weekends or public holidays. One of the experiences that I definitely will remember for a long time is the 12 hour overnight train I took from Bangkok to Surat Tani. It's something I've seen on TV before arriving and wanted to try. Seeing both the sunset and sunrise from a moving train with the beautiful scenery of Thailand was certainly memorable. There's so much to see in Thailand so definitely make the most of your time there!
A must in the development of an international career
May 23, 2019by: Nicolas Op de Beeck - BelgiumProgram: Internships in New York
The Intern Group is a great help in getting a good internship abroad specialized in your field of expertise. All accommodation, events and development workshops are good organized and great to attempt and meet new people. They guide you well before and during the internship and this makes it safe to go to a foreign country.
Fantastic experience
May 23, 2019by: Diego Ferraris - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
I had a fantastic experience during my 12 week program in NY. I had a great time at work and with events organized by intern group I also had the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world
Experience that will remain forever in my heart!
May 22, 2019by: Barbara Mannozzi - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
My internship in New York was memorable. I was placed at Primus Business Management, a consultant company based in Brooklyn. My team was amazing. I worked every day with my tutor Chrystal, and together we reached a lot of goals. I had the possibility to apply what I learned at the University and I expanded my knowledge in management, marketing and digital fields. I enhanced my communication skills and I learned a lot about American culture and attitudes. I really enjoyed my time and I suggest this experience to anyone
So much growth, adventure and life changing experiences in two months!
May 22, 2019by: Tapaita Kalamafoni - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I am absolutely grateful for the two month opportunity that I had to be apart of TIG Tokyo programme! My experiences somehow always got better and better each day as time went by. A big factor to it was due to TIG’s Tokyo team - Airi and Shaina, who made the process into, during and out of Tokyo absolutely seamless! They took on all the stress for us while making sure that the interns were just enjoying their new experiences. For my internship, I worked as a Business Consultant for a startup company in Japan’s Aviation/Airline industry. My role required me to manage a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution project. I had no experience in Project Management or in Business consulting prior to this so I freaked out in the beginning due to pressure. Then I realised because I already invested so much and I was far away from home - there was no time to self sabotage. So I trusted myself to grow and my CEO as a mentor. He provided me all the systems and structure needed for my self development as a young business woman and even being surrounded with successful, hardworking people - it pushed me to work autonomously and effectively until I completed the project by the end of the internship. Besides work, life outside was even better! The food, the culture, the places (and the nightlife lol) was crazy! Created so many friendships with the other interns, the locals and colleagues! I trust ANYONE would have the same or an even better experience so long as you humble and immerse yourself into the culture and adapt to trying new things. I am proud to continue networking with my host company remotely and so a massive shoutout to TIG and the Tokyo team for the support! Especially even after the internship, you guys have been amazing.

The best experience in my life
May 20, 2019by: Chiara Croci - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
Thanks to Intern Group I had the opportunity to do an amazing internship in one of the most beautiful city in the world and I met up friends from all over the world. I learnt a lot at work, and thanks to this experience, now I am more confident in English communication.
My time in the big apple!
May 17, 2019by: Federica Palumbo - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
It was a great experience not only on a professional based but also on a social life based. I enjoyed the events the program arranges as they are a good opportunity to meet other people and hang around together. Regarding the internship, i got there expecting i was going to learn different skills (i.e. more analytical). It wasn’t like that but it turned out to be helpful as well because i could learn something useful. Overall i’m very satisfied of this experience and i’d suggest it to everybody!

I meet so many new people!
May 12, 2019by: Lindsay Mercredy - CanadaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The Hong Kong internship program is amazing. It is a great opportunity to meet new people, make new international connections and to visit a new part of the world. The Intern Group provide great social and cultural activities. This allowed me to meet new interns and make friends for life and to visit Hong Kong at the same time. The internship process placement is also really great. The Intern Group keeps you in touch with every step of your placement. You always know what is happening. Overall, this is a great internship program. I will do another abroad internship with this company for sure!
An experience that exceeded my expectations!
April 29, 2019by: Priscilla Plat - FranceProgram: Internships in New York
Thanks to the Intern Group for offering me the opportunity to experience the American way of life and work environment. I had the time of my life in the Big Apple and would recommend the program to anyone who's thrilled at the idea of discovering the U.S. through a more immersive aspect. The quality of the placement process, assistance with the visa application, great orientation and general guidance provided by TIG team helped me feeling reassured and enthusiastic about the program in general. I have learned to be quite autonomous and independent but it's still great to know that if anything happens or if I have any type of concerns, there is a group of persons that's always available and willing to support me. You can reach out literally any time, via WhatsApp, text message or phone. Besides, my accommodation was really nice, situated on the 3rd floor, with a view on the main street (West End Ave). In terms of space, the room is small but extremely tidy, quite well equipped (one big closet, one large drawer and a night table) and the bathroom is very modern. Ideal for a 3-month stay, not more. My only big regret is that there was not enough storage, in the bathroom (had to buy hanging storage because the shelf that's below the mirror and above the sink was not stable) as well as in the main room (for cutlery, plates, and food). I also had to buy a trash bin, pans and pots, cutting board, glasses, mugs, bowls, toilet brush, hand brush, a duvet, an extra pillow... which I think should be provided by the building, given that most interns leave their stuff in the basement when they don't manage to sell/donate it before they leave the program. Moreover, the internship experience itself has been nothing but perfect! I worked for a non-profit organization called the Africa-America Institute (AAI), next to Grand Central train station, with about 7 other people. They were all very helpful, understanding, diligent and cheerful, which encouraged me to give an even better work performance and made me enthusiastic at every new project I was assigned to. Furthermore, the office was more like a big open space with small offices around it, available for in-person or online meetings, which I appreciated in the sense that it reflected the collaborative work that is being done there. Not only was my work environment very optimal but I also got to improve a large range of skills by working on various types of projects. I left with polished computer, creative thinking, teamwork and self-management skills, which I know will be useful during my master's program and career. Furthermore, TIG organizes social, cultural and professional events throughout the year, and there are great opportunities to meet other/new interns and catch up with your coordinators (Brian and Kaela). I went to one of their professional development workshops and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and both events were good! The workshop was very helpful and brought me a clearer idea of what employers in the U.S. expect from candidates. I also extended my knowledge of workplace vocabulary words and expressions. The visit, on the other side, was more about mingling, taking cool pictures and seeing some beautiful pieces of art... for free! In brief, I would say I had the best time because TIG facilitated the overall experience but mostly because I decided I wanted it to be awesome! In fact, I've had feedback from other interns who lived very different, if not opposite, experiences, who were either disappointed by their accommodation or didn't get stimulating tasks to accomplish. In my opinion, you should communicate your frustrations to whoever can be of some assistance, enjoy the city as much as possible and stay positive. You're interning in New York and this is a privilege, keep that in mind!
What a fulfilling summer I had with The Intern Group!
March 22, 2019by: Yige Wang - CanadaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I always wanted to intern at this dream design studio in Hong Kong, so I reached out to The Intern Group to help me get that dream internship. The interview process was really pleasant and everyone in the process was super helpful, making sure that I get into the company of my choice and that I had no concern with the timeline, requirements and visa processing. Once arriving in Hong Kong, they pick up the interns at the airport. The living space is an hotel apartment, very modern and clean! Not to mention that my roommates are really great! We quickly became friends and are still in touch today. There are so many social events, outings and training sessions. It was a great experience with a The Intern Group, I would definitely do it again if I could!
Could say one of my best experiences ever
March 21, 2019by: Seint Thu Han Tina - MyanmarProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
I've been doing internship in Bangkok for a month and it will take until May 2nd week. The experiences I got from the intern are really amazing and more than I expected. Even feel tired as this is my very first step in working life, I found it's fun to learn what I want with friendly culture and staff. The services and facilities provided by The Intern Group are perfect and our organizer is really kind and takes care of us. The program fee is really affordable comparing to others. I would say I did the best choice and would definitely recommend.
My life will never be the same
March 21, 2019by: Hardeep Matharu - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
NYC was always the number one city I wanted to travel too and intern, and when I was accepted I couldn't anticipate just how life-changing the experience would be. Prior to coming, I wanted to set myself out from the crows in terms of employability, and experience the hustle and bustle that NYC was famous for. It did not disappoint one bit. In my first week, I was getting used to walking past Times Square no less every day for work, as well as seeing a host of amazing other things (like the vibrant music culture & subway performers). I had met a load of other interns who were all from different places, but together there was a real community and we later became good friends and did loads of social activities together that was hosted by the Program Providers. We got all the insights into what was in new york, and got to experience epic sights from the Rockefeller Centre (which I did on my birthday no less) as well as try out loads of different food places. The employability workshops that are hosted to help develop and market your expansive experience are of very high quality - and The Intern Group have specialists who can review your resume and CV whilst you are on the program to help you secure your next role! The staff on The Intern Group are of the highest caliber. They are smart, friendly, and most of all supportive. The Intern Group also offers a free 3 month subscription to talkspace should you need private counseling to adjust to a new country. Whatever your reservations, there is a huge community waiting for you to join and experience something incredible.
Would not recommend it to a friend
March 18, 2019by: Helena Kozina - SwitzerlandProgram: Internships in New York
Was promised to work in social media / business development. When I got to my workplace I was asked to pack boxes all day and pick up lunch orders. Have not had any training in social media or business development whatsoever. When talking to TIG about it they said that it was normal for interns in NYC to pick up lunch orders and I should just get accustomed to it. Asked for a refund - they agreed to refund me 200 USD of the 4000 USD I paid for an unpaid internship. It's been almost two months and I am still waiting for my refund. Social aspect of the program is good. You get to meet a lot of other interns through the program and there are planned activities every weekend. If you do have professional experience and you want to develop your skills - do not do this program. I felt like it was more outlined for students who would like to have some kind of work experience on their CV. You can profit more from the beautiful city by just doing a language course.
Hi Helena, thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the social aspect of the program, that you got to meet a lot of other international interns and that you found benefit in the planned activities every weekend. The professional development aspect of our program is extremely important to us, so we’re really sorry to hear that you didn’t find your internship experience fulfilling. Our purpose as an organization is to help applicants at all stages of their academic or professional career, from gap year students to career changers, to realize their potential. I can also confirm that your refund has been made. Best, The Intern Group.
Most amazing experience anyone could ask for!
March 15, 2019by: Janetha Jeyananthan - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Bangkok
My internship in Thailand was beyond my expectations. I was there for a month and despite my intern position not being what I expected, I had definitely learned much more than i anticipated. The culture, environment and other interns you are surrounded by make it an ease to understand and adapt to the local culture. You end up transforming from strangers to friends, social connections and much more. All this couldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for our amazing event coordinator Tarn in Bangkok. She made sure everyone was welcomed and had something new and different to experience every week. Would definitely recommend and do this again!
A really good experience
March 07, 2019by: Nadia Mahmoud - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I think I enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend trying it. Its an adjustment in the beginning because you are getting used to an environment your not particularly used to but the people are very welcoming and do their best t help you settle in.
Egypt was amazing !

Worst experience for an internship
February 16, 2019by: Eganandan Subramaniam - SingaporeProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
First of let me start by saying that I won't be naming the company which I was interning and this is my honest opinion of the whole program. If any one needs any screenshots of the conversations that has happened between me, the company and / or the Intern group please feel free to contact me personally. When I looked around the internet for overseas internships, I decided to choose The Intern Group based on the positive feedback and the duration they had been around in the industry for Internship placements. After registering with them and going thru an interview to find out what I was interested in doing, I awaited to be placed in a company. I go an internship with a company, XYZ, and everything was smooth. I was even told they had a video production team before hand by the Intern group so I felt things falling in place. I checked out their website and based on the client list that they had and the location I agreed to the offer. The agreement was also based on the Intern Groups recommendation that it was a good fit and I trusted them (hence parting with around 600k Yen of my hard earned money). Fast forward to the first day of arrival. Everything was smooth checked into the apartment and there were no issues. I then received and email from the Intern Group stating that Monday was the first day. The address given was different from what the company had posted on their website. That struck of a hint of suspicion. That being said, I assumed it was nothing and went for the meeting. Since the CEO (who I was suppose to report to) was away, I met another person (let's call him Ed). Ed contacted me and asked me to meet him for a team meeting at a cafe near the city center. When I arrived for the meeting, he was alone. There was no team and honestly I was not very happy about it. Nonetheless, we had a chat and he told me about the project they would be working on. After which I asked him when should I be going into office, to which he said I will be contacted once the CEO is back. After staying in the apartment for like a week, I get contacted again by Ed saying that the CEO is back and he wants to meet us for a important meeting. By us I mean 2 other interns including myself. We met and he went on to say that they have found a new office and required more sales to get furniture for the office. That again was very suspicious and I still did not say anything as of yet. The other two interns felt the same way but one of them who was also from the Intern Group was going back the week after next so she did not say anything. The other intern (let's call her Anne) was from a different internship placement company and she felt uncomfortable bout this as well. Fast forward to the week after (which is my 3rd week in). We had to do a video which was suppose to provide a means to market the product on facebook. I called for a meeting in which the CEO and Ed turned up like one to one and a half hours late. We sorted the video concept out and they left. After which I went to do the video by myself without any supervision. We initially had discussed and agreed to one video. But halfway during the course of my shoot, Ed contacts me and said he needs 3 videos. I told him it can be done but I can only give them to him after the weekend was over. He agreed and told me that he will be paying for the ads and needs them up by Monday so it was kind of urgent. Weekend passed and Monday was the due date. Ed contacted me at 10 am while I was doing the final touch-ups and I told him to wait till 3-4pm. I got the files done and sent them to him. After which he did not even contact me at all to give any feedback on the videos I did. I waited for two days and then checked the facebook page to see if there were any ads placed and did not find any. A complete waste of my time. It was on the 4th week that the CEO contacted me and asked me to give ideas for a animated logo for the product we were marketing. I gave him idea upon which he asked me to start working on them. I had no knowledge of motion graphics but I decided to still go ahead and do him a simple one. First he gave 2 comments and I changed it accordingly. Then comes the part where he finds references and asked me to follow them. I told him that is way beyond my skill level and he would need to hire someone to do that. All these while, I had been working remotely with no interactions with my 'colleagues'. I was basically a nomad going around cafes and doing work from there without any supervision. This got me really frustrated and contacted the Inter Group to give them my feedback and enquire as to what was going on. The replies they gave were totally as though they were not interested at all with the situation I was in. They even said that the CEO was busy as he was traveling which was not true because I met him the day they tried to contact him to pass him his camera (at this point I did not want anything to do with him). This totally marred the whole experience in which I did not learn anything at all. If you are a 20 year old and willing to part with cash and/or are being sponsored by all means do treat this like a holiday. But for someone looking to gain work experience, I do not recommend this to them. I had in fact written to them asking for a refund to which they said that they will not give back. For all the administrative mistakes and working remotely (which I could have saved money on a plane ticket) to be told I will not get a refund just shows how much they care about making money. It is really upsetting that one of the top internship placement companies could do this. So my advice to people is do your own research. Try to get an internship on your own. It will be way cheaper than paying a company who only cares about costs. Anyone interested in knowing the full story or would like to see the conversations please contact me directly. Note: The definition of an internship (as far as I know) based on the dictionary is the position of a student or trainee who works in an organization, sometimes without pay, in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification. Of which i did not gain any work experience at all working remotely.
Hi Eganandan, thank you for your honest feedback. We endeavor to provide the highest quality program, and we have not achieved that in this case. Your feedback has encouraged us to review our partnership with your host organization, who we will no longer be working with. While previous interns we’ve placed within the organization worked from their physical office alongside the team, it is unfortunate that you were interning at a transitional time when they were moving offices, and that you didn’t get to benefit from being in a physical office at all. We’re sure that this likely contributed to the communication issues you experienced with your supervisor. We've followed up with you separately on the next steps regarding your program.
No compassion for a death in my family
February 02, 2019by: Mayastephens - United StatesProgram seemed ok until one week into my internship, I had an emergency and had to rush home because of the untimely death of my grandmother. I left the program 5 weeks early and wasn’t regarded any sort of refund at all. The intern group kept about $3,000 of my hard earned cash (this is minus my deposit and fees from my first and only week there) even though I was no longer on the trip - but home in the states grieving my second mother’s passing. I did not want to leave the program but had to. The intern group made the feeling of losing my grandma feel even worse. They left a horrible horrible impression on me and showed no compassion or understanding for me or my grieving family.
Hi Maya, thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention at this difficult time for you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. We have reviewed your case and would of course like to offer you a partial refund. We have reached out to you to organise this.
Once in a lifetime summer experience!

the intern group provided a well-rounded internship experience for me. they were able to place me in an industry and company that I was looking for. the team was very helpful throughout the whole process. Activities were fun, and we had a lot of fun!
The best experience of my life
January 02, 2019by: Bianca Morando - ItalyProgram: Internships in New York
I wouldn’t know how to describe this experience rather than absolutely perfect. Everything went amazingly and even if I had huge expectations reality has been even better. Huge shoutout to Brian Limbo for being always so nice, kind and available. He’s for sure your best guy.
Tokyo was overall spectacular
January 02, 2019by: Leticia Santos - BrazilProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Since the moment I landed, until my last goodbye, every aspect of this amazing city, made me feel at home. I had the chance of experiencing a very unique, fun and fulfilling internship, where everyday I would learn something new, and live something unforgettable. Aside from my internship, Airi and the Intern Group organized lots of activities for the interns, which we always enjoyed so much and which we participated with excitement. My expectations were met and it was even more than I expected! I will always be grateful for this chance I took, and Tokyo will always be a place I will desperately be wanting to go back to. The Inter Group gave me one of the best couple of months of my life, and I will definitely be reapplying in the future.
Memorable experience!
December 29, 2018by: Annette Amanzi - ZambiaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I had a brilliant time Interning for a financial services consultancy company in Hong Kong. Not only was it easy to navigate around the city, but my colleagues and the friends I’ve made during this time was worthwhile and amazing. Interning abroad even for 8 weeks seemed to be a daunting experience, however you meet people from all over the world and with most you can make truly valuable friendships. The most fun and enjoyable part was hiking along different trails in HK and being able to see beautiful and stunning landscapes with other interns. My time abroad also gave me the opportunity to explore a field I was interested in and my mentor was helpful in providing what I needed to know about the business. Now I’m more passionate to pursue it as a career!
A wonderful opportunity!
December 27, 2018by: Joseph Dofitas - PhilippinesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Going out in the world for the first time seems daunting, but with The Intern Group's help, I was able to make that first step a rewarding and memorable experience. With their help, I was able to enjoy a lot of what Hong Kong had to offer with a way to find housing, go to events, as well as find a job, so I don't have to worry about it too much during my stay.
Truly a great time
December 27, 2018by: Keiden Cheung - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I went to Hong Kong for a 12 week internship with APV, facilitated by the Intern Group. Honestly, I was a little skeptical at first: would I just be running coffees for people? Will my time and money be wasted? Will it be worth it? Yes. It was worth it. Completely. Now, I need to preface by saying that one of main reasons why the experience was worth it was because the company I was interning for, APV, is unimaginably good for interns. I was working with client work almost every day, either in studio or on set, and if I wasn't working on client content, I was contributing to the team with other important tasks (research, analysis, digital archiving etc). A sense of satisfaction, challenge, growth and confidence was gained by working at APV. Truly amazing. One of the other main contributing reasons to such a great time is the people that you meet. I think one of the benefits you get being on the Intern Group program is that it sets you up to connect with other people who are in similar situations to you; young interns looking to find new experiences in a different part of the world. This is how I met my friends while I was in Hong Kong, and I'm sure that's one of the ways you'll meet yours. On top of that, the accommodation that was sorted for me by the Intern Group placed me with a whole array of other interns doing the same program, meaning I lived in an apartment building with all my friends (super convenient, super fun). Speaking of the accommodation, I was surprised as to how good it is. I got placed at the Grand Blossom Serviced Apartments in Hong Hum. The location is fantastic for public transport (although in saying that, Hong Kong is super efficient with public transport regardless of where you are), a bunch of awesome little cafes and eateries are nearby, and the actual apartment I lived in was quite nice. Now, if you've never been to Hong Kong before, be prepared for your room to be tiny. My room was a literal shoebox. But, it's clean, modern, already furnished and comfortable enough. Plus you'll likely only be home to sleep anyway. The Inter Group also create weekend events for you to attend (it's optional, but it's packaged in your fee so you may as well go). I think they're worth going to because you get to meet new people and have new experiences, especially if you've never been to Hong Kong before. There's a bunch of a really cool stuff to see and do and explore in Hong Kong, and I think that it can sometimes be a little confronting to do it by yourself as a foreigner; that's where joining the Intern Group's events comes in handy. It's a seriously great time in Hong Kong. I've always loved the city, but this time was something special.
Thank you Intern Group
December 25, 2018by: Nursultan Sarkytbayev - KazakhstanProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Tokyo and Hong Kong gave me one of the best memories in my life. I’ve made a lot of friends while working in Hong Kong and then in Tokyo. The whole experience was well organised, and I had no issue whatsoever. I strongly recommend The Intern Group to people who want to experience life abroad.
An unforgettable two months
December 24, 2018by: Franco La Braca - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
My time spent in Tokyo during my Intern Group internship was incredible. Japan is an extremely safe and clean country, with people always willing to help you out. The Tokyo program representative was also very helpful, always very kind, patient, and accessible by phone or text. This was particularly comforting given how daunting living in a metropolis like Tokyo can seem at first! The MUSACO Sharehouse that I stayed in was well-maintained by the staff, and aside from the unavoidable occasional frustrations that arise from sharing cooking spaces and the like with multiple people, it was really enjoyable overall. In particular, it allowed me to meet a lot of wonderful people from around the world and make many new friends! This, coupled with the main planned events such as a Japanese pub (izakaya) tour in the Shinjuku district and a Mount Fuji tour along with the numerous optional events, made sure you were never bored outside of work! The actually internship was also really nice, though of course this aspect of the experience naturally depends on the company you get placed in. Although I was placed in a very non-conventional company as far as Japanese standards go, my work environment and colleagues at Safecast made the whole experience very enjoyable and rewarding, allowing me to apply my skills and passions in unexpected and novel ways. (I am actually surprised that The Intern Group found such a great match for me, given my background in physics and my not very industry-like passion for teaching!) While it is an expensive program, to be sure, I do not regret my decision to enroll, and I have made countless memories and gained experience that I will cherish always!
Incomparable real world experience
December 23, 2018by: Lucas Wyckoff - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I gained more real world experience and knowledge about doing business on this program than I did in classes in University. The program allowed me to immerse myself in the Japanese workplace and gain more insight into practices and traditions there, as well as learn more about Japanese culture.
An unforgettable summer
December 21, 2018by: Phonkrit Boonchuaysream - ThailandProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
I applied for an internship in Tokyo this summer not knowing what to expect. But it turned out to be a great decision! I got to make friends with other people from around the world and we traveled together. I was lucky because my internship supervisor also helped to explain Japanese work culture to me and I was able to adapt to the working culture there. The Intern Group program coordinator was also very helpful and answered and doubts and questions that I had while living in Tokyo. The residence that I was put in was a shared residence and it was really clean and well equipped with facilities. It was an great summer!
Fun!
December 21, 2018by: Mary Trepany - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Tokyo is such a great time I wanna go back asap! The internship taught me a lot about when I really wanna be doing in the future. During the internship I was still able to go out and explore japan the boss understood I was there to work but also for adventure and gave me plenty of days off allowing me to go all around and have a great time.
Iconic
December 21, 2018by: Geoffrey Sizgoric - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Living in Tokyo was definitely an amazing experience. The accommodation was a bit far from my workplace and some of the main parts of the city but every place in Tokyo has something to see. The program coordinator looks after you so well and gives really good advice about navigating every day life. Made heaps of memories I’ll never forget.
Highly recommended "The Intern Group" for "Big Dreamers"
December 21, 2018by: Nikhil Sharma - IndiaProgram: International Internships in Tokyo
Experience and learning outcome: 1. Internship abroad is a thing that makes you gain your self confidence as I found the opportunity abroad through TheInternGroup website. Obviously there were great mentors in the college who guided and supported me and I am very thankful to them. But what's interesting and beneficial about finding an internship abroad is you become self reliable, you start approaching faculties who makes you learn, guides you to your goal. It's not getting food served in your plate but it's learning how to find and grab the food you want to eat. 2.My overall experience working in Japan with my company and Intern Group was that I never imagined off. I was working in a Communications equipment company. It is leading company which manufactures specialized technical products for media, entertainment and broadcasting industry. I was as a full time office manger working under (Director ASIA Pacific) . 3. It was a much needed opportunity of working in a global company and that too in country which is known for their innovation and management styles that is Japan. This is the country where people's priority is work over family. I have so much respect for them. I helped my team in preparing entry strategies for the company to enter in Indian market. This not only helped me in boosting my morale but realizing my potential. There is so much to learn when you are willing to learn. I realized the skills I lack when I worked under minimal supervision. 4.Apart from preparing I attended lots of Japanese style meeting and exhibition. On weekends I used to participate in community event organised by TheInternGroup. That was so great to experience Japanese culture and management styles. From preparing Sushi to exchanging visiting cards, I was able to differentiate the difference between India and Japan. So, that experience is fruitful and wise step that I took during MBA. 5.I have not only become career focused but that experience has also improved my overall personality. My boss, my mentors, my faculties, my parents are gift to me. Without there wishes and guidance, this would have not been possible. I know it's just a start but it is a great start when you know your goal and you know you are walking in right direction. 6. All this would have not been possible without TheInternGroup's dedicated team. A big thanks to them who were there with me from beginning I never missed my home because it always felt like as if I am living with my family only : You can imagine how welcoming people were there and amazing social life.
Gap year travels
December 20, 2018by: Iain Hess - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I decided to take a gap year after my final year on high school and couldn’t be happier with my decision. I chose the Intern Group because it seemed like a good deal for what I would get from it. The program directors are very good. From day 1, they helped me ease into the way of life in Ireland and from then on, everything was smoothe. I met many other interns who will be friends for life. There are weekend trips to places such as The Cliffs OF Moyer and the Guinness Storehouse which are another way to make great friends.
Experience of a Lifetime
December 20, 2018by: Stefan Boyd - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
This internship experience has been so valuable for my personal and professional development. The Internship at my host organisation has given me the opportunity to be part of a team and be valued for my opinions even though I am just a student. I was able to learn and grow professionally by gaining constructive feedback from my colleagues on my Salesforce project. I was able to use my skill set and increase my Business Acumen while solving business problems. Furthermore, The Intern Group helped me settle into Shanghai as soon as I arrived I was made to feel like I was part of a family. The weekend trips and events are truly unforgettable as you get to expose yourself to new culture and traditions which I found really fascinating! I would highly recommend anyone who is wanting to explore while increasing their competitive edge in the job market to choose The Intern Group as they are absolutely amazing from every aspect of what they do!
Life changing
December 20, 2018by: Isabel Ahme - GermanyProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I decided to take a gap year after finishing secondary school this year. Wanting to do something sensible with my time I looked into internships abroad and stumbled upon the Intern Group. I was immediately interested in their Shanghai program as part of my family is from there. I applied for the program and was accepted. They helped me through the entire pre-arrival process and found a very fitting internship for me. But also the support you keep receiving once you are here is amazing. Olivia and Tommy are both lovely people who I would absolutely marry. The housing is nice and the location is good. Shanghai is a vibrant city that has much to offer to its visitors while being very affordable, at least from a German perspective. All in all, I would definitely recommend coming to Shanghai, I have had a blast here!
Dublin Psychology internship
December 18, 2018by: Jerry Wharton - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had an amazing time. The internship and the staff, and all my new friends were amazing! I highly recommend this adventure to anyone! I made so many memories and learned new skills I’ll cherish the rest of my life!
A memorable experience
November 29, 2018by: shipra sehrawat - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
I absolutely loved my time with the intern group. Everything was well organised, from placement to outings to any queries we had, was well taken care of. If I get another opportunity I would definitely link up again with the intern group. Highly recommend it!
Incredible experience!
November 15, 2018by: Cooper DeStefano - United StatesThe Intern Group was an amazing experience. They were extremely helpful in answering any questions I had. Once I told them where I wanted to work and in what field, they set me up with several interviews for internships in the London area. Once I got to London my program leaders, Nikki, Thomas, and Shivali, were incredible. They helped all the interns figure out how to get around London to get all the stuff we needed and were quick to respond to people who needed help. My internship at Bond Solon was amazing and my supervisor wrote me a great letter of recommendation. My living at Liberty Court wasn't the best. I lived on the top floor with no air conditioning during a heat wave, so my apartment was unbearably hot most of the time. The people running the building didn't seem the most organized, letting the fire alarm go off continuously between one and three am before calling the fire department to fix it, and trying to kick my friend out of her flat before her internship was over. My program leaders were very helpful in dealing with these issues.
Best way to spend your summer!
September 26, 2018by: Amrita Takk - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I had the most amazing time in HK this summer. Doing an internship abroad is the perfect blend of experiencing new culture and advancing your stance on the career ladder! I learnt so much during my internship as I was able to apply what I had learnt at university into practice. I loved having a lot of responsibility and being able to accomplish so much in my time there. People are usually very impressed when you tell them you have done an internship in HK! I feel traveling to a completely new environment helps enhance independence and confidence a lot. I met great friends from all over the world and was also able to explore lots of HK. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for an adventure but wanting to consider their career prospects to apply. The intern group team were lovely and super accommodating also!
The best time in my life
September 19, 2018by: Mayu Kitagawa - JapanProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I did an internship in Hong Kong for 6 weeks and worked for a PR marketing company. Everything I experienced in Hong Kong was amazing. The people at the company were so kind, especially my supervisor. Because of her, I gained not only business skills and knowledge, but I also learned more about business manners and what is it like to work in society. All the time I spent at the office definitely helped me think about my future and career. After work or on weekends, I enjoyed sightseeing around the great city of Hong Kong. The interns I met are the best. They are passionate, highly motivated, and very hard workers. It is really so amazing making friends with people from all over the world that give you new perspectives and inspire you so much. Through this experience, I found a bunch of exciting options for my future, made more goals, and increased my global outlook. I couldn't have had such a brilliant time without The Intern Group. They supported me the whole time, care about every intern, and always helped us have the best time. I want to say thank you so much for everything and to everyone I crossed paths with. I would love to do another internship in another country with The Intern Group again.
Life changing experience!
September 17, 2018by: Abu Kazi - United KingdomDoing an internship in Colombia is probably one of the best decisions that I have made in a very long time. From the moment I arrived, I fell in love with this country, it's people, it's culture, it is one of the most hospitable places I have ever been. The Intern group Colombia have been incredible since day one, organising every detail of the trip and ensuring every interns safety and comfort. I'd like to mention in particular Yasmeen and Yenny of the experience co-ordination team who have been absolutely incredible, always going above and beyond what is required of them. They have always ensured that any query or concern is replied to promptly, even when it has been late in the evening or night. They taught me how to use the public transport systems as well as the best places to shop and how to stay safe in the city. As a muslim It has been difficult to find halal food in the city, but this is also something that these two wonderful people have helped me with. Honestly, they have made this trip a lot more comfortable and easy for me. I would highly recommend doing an internship with the intergroup, especially in colombia, where their amazing team provides the highest standard of service, and the best experience possible, Thank You Yasmeen, Yenny and every member of the TigCol team!!!!
One of the best work experiences I’ve ever had
September 05, 2018by: Léa Rival - FranceI went into this internship/ volunteer work not really knowing what to expect in terms of how much exposure I would get to working with children and was unsure how much fundraising/ events planning I would be doing. In the end I spent the majority of my time going to different children’s/ elderly people homes and was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. This internship was a perfect way to interact with Colombian people on a daily basis and be exposed to Spanish which really helped me to improve. Everyone in the office was lovely and I ended up leaving people I truly consider as great friends behind, as well as missing a lot of the kids who taught me so much.
Brilliant!
August 20, 2018by: Patrick Harris - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
My internship abroad in New York working in business/finance was brilliant. The city has so much to offer and the intern group staff Brian and Kaela do a great job at organising events and help people settle in.
Amazing experience
August 16, 2018by: Cindy Tse - TaiwanProgram: Internships in New York
Had an amazing time in New York! Thank you so much TIG for this experience! If I have another chance, I would definitely apply for another internship through this amazing organization again:) The coordinators were super friendly, helpful and sweet and the company that I got matched with was superb!
Great organisation!
August 14, 2018by: Aaron Cole - United KingdomPersonally, I was very impressed with how well organised the whole internship was. From being picked up at the airport to being taken on amazing trips, the Intergroup were always professional, helpful and kind. The internship itself was also as described and I had an amazing boss who helped me throughout the whole 6 weeks. I would recommend the experience to anyone who would like to travel and gain work experience at the same time.
Great activities to explore NYC attractions
August 08, 2018by: Sarina Santiago - PhilippinesProgram: Internships in New York
There are events every weekend ranging from observatory decks and a city cruise. It’s super fun and the supervisors that join are really friendly and always willing to make your experience as fun and comfortable as possible.
Great experience!!
August 07, 2018by: Amy G - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
I got placed at an amazing non profit who really looked after me and gave me a number of tasks and responsibilities; I always had something to do and never got bored! The Intern Group were really helpful when trying to get me placed and always responded quickly to any questions I had - whether it was before or after I arrived in NYC! It is expensive to live out here (especially if you're doing an unpaid internship) but if you save up and budget for each week you'll be fine!
Time of my life in Medellín!
August 06, 2018by: Freddie Bennett - United KingdomI know it is such a cliche to say experiences like this are the time of your life. But when it literally is the time of your life, the cliche is difficult to avoid. My internship was at Universidad Remington in International Relations and it was just incredible, the staff and my bosses were always so kind and willing to help me. I knew quite a bit of Spanish before coming out which has definitely helped but at times when I had no idea what my bosses were telling me to do, they were always willing to try to explain it to me again. Of course, like with any job, there are bits which are more interesting then others but overall this internship has been an incredible experience. The InternGroup really know about international internships! They are not just there to sort you out an internship but when you're here, they are always there to make sure you're doing ok. Plus, they organise great days out and various professional workshops which are great ways to meet new people. Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of this internship and to anyone even considering this opportunity, just go for it
My life in NY
August 06, 2018by: Yajing LIN - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
I feel lucky to have such a chance to live here and explore this amazing city. I really enjoy the time here, making many friends of different countries and viewing this city from different ways. And all the things the TIG provided, the accommodation, travel events, orientation all of them are great. But there is something that I feel not so satisfied. My real work is different from JD before, mainly about sales but nothing to do with risks management. Sales do improve me on communication skills and insurance product learning, but not that helpful for my career development. That is the only regret for my time in NY.
TIG solves my problem efficiently
August 06, 2018by: Xinyan (Elaine) Jiang - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
Though I had a bad experience of my first internship placement company, since it was totally different from what it promised, the placement team in TIG helped me out and changed me to two other companies in a short period of time. They solved the problem efficiently.
NYC internship!
August 06, 2018by: Odelia Yue - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
It was such a great experience joining the NY programme in the intern group that all of the application, visa, placement process, etc. are done smoothly and efficiently. My experience here was very good and exciting. The team that I work for is so overwhelming and I really did learned a lot of things about the industry. Also, it was also a great chance to explore the city whole gaining working experience!
Wish I could do it again
July 29, 2018by: Matt Clark - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
I found the intern group through a friend who did it the previous year, I was very jealous after looking at her Instagram pics so I decided to apply. Now looking back it was most likely the best decision I have made, I had the best two months ever and now I am back all I want to do is go back again. I made friends for life and had experiences I will keep forever. My internship was really good and felt I had been placed in the best company for my skill set, however I would recommend you do not just accept the first company you get into, really make sure they are a company you are matched too and you know you will get the most out of it. What I would tell you to do is go and explore places around NYC. Me and the people I met on the internship spent every weekend going on trips to explore different states and places around NYC; Boston, Connecticut, The Hamptons, New Jersey and Niagara Falls. I would recommend this experience to everyone and I wish I could do it all over again.
Interncredible!
July 29, 2018by: Alexandr Kovalev - KazakhstanProgram: Internships in New York
I went through The Intern Group 3 times and every time it offered me something new and something exciting. I really believe this is a great program and I would not have come back if I wasn’t right. NYC is one of a kind place and i am very happy to be here with The Intern Group’s support and hospitality!
Awesome experience!!!!
July 29, 2018by: El S. - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Placement process was easy. Staffs are very attentive and accomodating, I was assigned to an awesome company where I had the time of my life. I wish I could do it longer! Shoutout to Brian for being an amazing host and all The Intern Group staffs!!
Best experience ever!
July 27, 2018by: Jaskiren Kaur - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
I did the 8 week program in Toronto in June 2018. This has been the best summer of my life and i am so happy i took this opportunity. Everyone at the intern group have been amazing from the start to finish. Any problems i had, Miriam was able to respond to me within minutes and she was such a massive support during the visa process. My internship was such a great experience and i believe i have become so confident within my self. My experience coordinator Vanessa was GREAT! She was so amazing with all the social events she had hosted for us all and if we needed to ask her for anything she was there. Not only was she an coordinator, she was a mentor and a great friend. I would 100% recommend this program to anyone, you would not regret it.
The most amazing experience
July 24, 2018by: Jenny - United KingdomThis internship has been amazing from start to finish! Everything is so well organised and The Intern Group are always there to help if you need anything. The activities they plan have been so much fun and I have met such incredible people whilst taking part in them. The internship itself and life in Medellín has also been super exciting; the city is vibrant and fun and the people have all been so so warm and welcoming. If I could go back and choose another program I wouldn't choose anything different!
Engineering internship in Colombia
July 24, 2018by: Igor Panchenko - United StatesInterning here in Medellin has been one of the best experiences in my life. The culture, people, and the environment of this place will make you not want to leave. In two months that I have been here, I have traveled all over Colombia and met some great people. The work environment is very welcoming as well, with the Intern Group doing a great job by setting up events and professional workshops in order to engage all the interns here.
Shoutout to Olivia
July 24, 2018by: Andrew - ChinaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My experience with the intern group shanghai is extremely pleasurable. I was hosted my Olivia (super pretty) who gave me a private welcome party, which made me felt super special. She is an extremely passionate host as she took us around to numerous activities i.e chines kong fu which taught me lots about Chinese culture. Her presence in my experience in Shanghai is extremely valuable and brighten my trip. Intern groups placement and organzation is extremely professional and I had an excellent time on this trip. I would recommend this trip to all interns.
Brilliant, bustling and bonafide: my month's internship in Shanghai
July 20, 2018by: Christina Riska - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
If there is one reason to do an internship through The Intern Group, it is for the people you meet and the activities you participate in. Yes, I had come to Shanghai for work experience via an internship placement and with the predominant intention of improving my CV, but I left with so, so much more. The friendships I made through my month-long program are genuinely life-long ones which I have every intention of maintaining. The internship placements themselves are a bit hit-and-miss. I was one of the lucky ones who genuinely enjoyed my internship in a relaxed work environment with lovely employees. Yes, my tasks were perhaps not the most intellectually stimulating in that they involved mostly copy, pasting and re-wording descriptions of different Californian wine regions, but my boss would constantly check in with me and I was never left bored and listless like some of my friends in their internships. My internship doubtlessly taught me many new skills: I have honed my research skills, improved my competence with various softwares, learnt how to handle myself in a professional environment, but, and perhaps most importantly, was taught how to truly appreciate a good glass of wine! The obvious perk of working for a wine company is its product, and no week would have been quite complete without a glass of red at 4pm on a Friday! I was invited to a wine-tasting event in the office over the first weekend, where I was able to discuss all things wine-related with international clients whilst sampling various Pinot Noirs. My supervisor was nothing if not kind and helpful, and although there was a language gap between me and the other employees, I was impressed by the intimate rapport between people who were not just co-workers, but friends. My boss was kind enough to arrange a leaving dinner for me in a karaoke bar, where I had an absolute blast watching the people I had been working with for the past month sing Chinese pop songs with full gusto! The social events organised by The Intern Group are honestly priceless. We were taken on a day-trip to Tongli Water Town and Temple which was a true immersion into a beautiful culture. A cinema trip was also organised, along with dodgeball tournaments every Monday, a Kung-Fu session, and a cooking class! Welcome and leaving dinners were held in traditional Chinese restaurants where, if we had managed to avoid national food up until then, gave us the opportunity to sample traditional dishes. From frog legs to stinky tofu, meals were definitely an experience! Olivia and Tommy as the group leaders were invaluable. Both were so affable and easy to talk to: if you needed any help they were only a quick WeChat message away and would respond within minutes. I feel that it is also important to mention that they managed to strike the perfect balance between supporting and guiding us whilst also respecting our independence and not being patronising in any way. As enjoyable as my internship was in itself, I always looked forward to returning back to the accommodation to see my fellow interns, catch up about our days, and go about our evening plans together. Whether it was clubbing - an experience made unique by the fact that we got free entry and drinks everywhere we went so that not a single penny was spent unless on a taxi - having group dinners, or even adorable movie nights in flats, I was privileged enough to meet some genuienly incredible people. This program truly offers you everything. What with the exposure to the workplace, networking opportunities, but most of all, the wonderful people you live with during your program, I can truly say that I could not feel more confidant about my future, and I would not want to imagine what life in Shanghai would have been like had it not been facilitated through The Intern Group.
Best experience in Medellin Colombia with The Intern Group
June 26, 2018by: Feroz Ibrahimi - AustraliaI completed a 8 week internship in Medellin, Colombia with The Intern Group and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences. There is nothing bad I can say about my internship or experience in the country. My internship was at the Concejo de Medellin and was exactly as it was described to me and the work I completed was to my expectations and was to a high standard. The Intern Group was very professional and had everything organised including a range of activities for the interns to do such as trips to Guatape and regular dinners and other events. Overall everything from the social aspect to the work and experience in the city was perfect. I highly recommend completing an internship in Colombia to anyone who is interested and The Intern Group is the best way to do it.
Unforgettable
June 26, 2018by: Lorena - United StatesMy internship was one of a kind. I definitely was not expecting my internship to go the way it did. Working with Juguemos en el Bosque changed my views of my future career and of life. I learned not only professional skills but I learned how to serve others, especially children, with unconditional love. My team was supportive and loving. The Intern Group created a great environment to be fully immersed in Colombian culture through my home stay with a local and through the social events, such as the futbol game, the excursion to Guatapé, and the walking tour through the city center. I have created great bonds with people on the trip which added to this amazing experience.
Great internship experience in Dublin!
June 13, 2018by: Maja - SwedenProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a great time as an intern with The Intern Group's Dublin Programme. The events and meet-ups organised by The Intern Group were always enjoyable and staff was always supportive, and it was extremely rewarding to meet so many new people from different parts of the world. Dublin is a vibrant city and it was exciting to be able to explore it; I feel it has become somewhat of a second home and now that I've left, I really miss it and all the friends I made there. As for my internship, I was given a varied set of tasks that kept the work interesting. I was given a lot of responsibility in the workplace that felt a bit daunting at first, but the challenge was enjoyable and achieving results was satisfying. In summary, I had a great time in Dublin and the experience helped me develop a lot, both in terms of professional experience and life experience.
Great experience!
June 10, 2018by: Baris - TurkeyProgram: Internships in New York
I had the greatest time in NYC during 5 months. Intern Group was able to find me this great internship in a great company with great colleagues. The city is awesome and there are plenty things to do. We had fun events every weekend and explore New York to the full extent. I would also like to thank Brian, Miriam and Nicholas from Intern group for being responsive and kind all the time. I don't think you need second thoughts if you are considering to attend this program. You are going to add a great value to your career and have so much fun!
International connections no matter where you go!
June 05, 2018by: Anonymous - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
I can truthfully say that all the interns I met through The Intern Group have provided me with great friendship and have had unforgettable experiences together during our time abroad. We all seemed to love the companies we were working at, doing things we loved and things we didn’t know we loved! It will be a memory that I will forever cherish.
One of the best decisions I've made!
June 01, 2018by: Iris - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
My months researching and analysing social policy for an Irish nonprofit were an unparalleled, transformative experience. I honestly did not know what to expect before I applied, since I was a high school graduate embarking on a gap year. I lacked the experience that many other applicants had. The Intern Group exceeded all of my expectations. The program staff did an outstanding job matching me with my organisation, and I was able to use and improve skills I'd started developing in previous internships. The sheer amount of care put into making sure that I benefited from the experience as much as my employers did was something I had never experienced before, and it's one of many reasons why I consider choosing TIG one of the best decisions I've made. Next, TIG provided a community that made my time in Dublin infinitely more enjoyable. The meet ups were led by inclusive, enthusiastic coordinators, and the events were well chosen. Many of my coworkers commented on how they were surprised by the number of friends I had to explore the city with, since most of their other interns come in alone. I really can't articulate how great it was to be in a community of other interns who were all experiencing a new culture together. I've even made a few life long friends throughout this process. In the end, I'll look back at my time in Dublin as some of the best months of my life. The people are friendly, there's a vibrant sense of community, and it truly does feel like home in a very short time. I've learned many transferrable skills during my internship, and I feel completely over-prepared for dorm life next year (which is quite the empowering feeling). I'll always be thankful to the program staff for their invaluable support throughout my time here as well. They went above and beyond their duty when some mental health issues from my past resurfaced. I genuinely couldn't be happier or more satisfied with my internship with The Intern Group!
Unforgettable experience
May 30, 2018by: Mirco - CanadaProgram: Internships in New York
I have been part of this International Internship Program since March 2018 till May 2018. Actually I was one of the first participants and everything has been truly amazing My internship company has been amazing: I have learnt a lot and I had fun too. Couldn't ask for more! Accomodation ( Campus One ) super: big rooms, clean, safe, plus gym, restaurant, rooftop with skyline We have done a lot of social activities with our experience coordinator the super Vanessa, she guide us in the city and organized many events. Always available even to chat about your day and how the the internship is going. My experience with the intern group has been flawless, safe, serious, well organized, which is basically what you expect. 100% happy about this experience which will benefit for sure my professional career!
Bitter-sweet 5 months
May 28, 2018by: Natalie Choo - SingaporeProgram: Internships in New York
My 5 months of internship in NYC with the intern group was a bitter-sweet experience. I had lots of fun such as doing the touristy spots with the other interns that were organised by the intern coordinators. I feel like the intern coordinators did their best to make the experience fun and inclusive. I learn a lot from my internship experience and my advice to the interns coming would be to come with an open mind and always create your own fun.
Interning in London
April 19, 2018by: Grace - United StatesI had an amazing experience with the Intergroup in London. They set me up with a great internship that was exactly what I was looking for. The social outings they held were key to meet other people in the program and they were a great way to make friends from around the world.
Excellent experience
April 17, 2018by: Tim Hawley - AustraliaWorking through the Intern Group has changed my life for the best. Not only did they put me in a fulfilling working environment, but they also ensured that I also had a wonderful experience while visiting the country and allowing me to meet people from all over the world.
Fantastic experience
April 17, 2018by: Jim Reckers - United StatesI interned in London for six weeks beginning in early January. It was an all around wonderful experience. The Intern Group's London team was extremely helpful and ensured we all had an easy transition to living in a new country. My internship in London was an exciting and rewarding experience, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Ash's internship
April 17, 2018by: AshtyrI had the best time working abroad in London for 3 months. It was the first time i was away from family and friends in a whole different country, across the other side of the world. I met lots of new friends, connections, built relationships with my colleagues and had a great working holiday! I was very satisfied with my placement. Working with the recruitment company in finance, i had time to study and increase my financial knowledge of hedge funds and asset management. I working on various research projects, presentation projects for clients, made several phone calls to candidates for potential jobs. I worked well with my colleagues and appreciated their help and support as well as teaching them a few things about technology too. haha. We had social events after work which was a great way to get to know the office and just share stories about myself and built the connections for future. I made new friends with all the other interns who were on the program! Everyone from all over the world, even some who i can visit here in Australia!! We went out, traveled together, explored together and did lots more. The expenses came but all in all, it was the best journey. One which i will cherish all my life and tell stories about for years to come! I would highly recommend it, choose whichever program length you feel comfortable with and are financially capable of participating in but go for it! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. That's how i saw it. The first step of my career.
6 weeks in Medellin
April 11, 2018by: Kerry - New ZealandI have had an absolutely fantastic time in Medellin. The Intern Group is an amazing organisation that works hard to place you into an internship that closely reflects your skill set and desires. There is weekly social events which leave you with a group of friends the moment you arrive in the city. The team is a dedicated group of individuals ready to assist you with anything you need (from cultural advice to assistance in medical emergencies to restaurant suggestions) which really makes moving to an entirely different country so much easier. Thank you Intern Group for the amazing experience! I'll never forget my time in Colombia.
Shanghai Internship
March 01, 2018by: Omar - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Had an amazing time in Shanghai and was well looked after by Tommy and Olivia. The support they provided made the experience a lot more comfortable. The place I interned at, Avia-Tek has provided me with such important experience and has overall helped me develop as a person to be better equiped for the world.
I left part of my heart in Dublin!
March 01, 2018by: Andrew Nardi - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I keep telling everyone I left part of my heart in Dublin and it's true! On the surface it might not seem like the brightest or liveliest city, but The Intern Group did an amazing job of showing me the city's true colours. They hosted regular social events which helped me bond with the other interns. Eventually we were such good friends that we were organising our own events and trips across Ireland. Having that strong social connection and being able to talk openly with The Intern Group meant my internship was stress-free – I was able to slip comfortably into my work role and focus on picking up new skills. The Intern Group also worked closely with my accommodation to make sure my living situation was comfortable for me, and I really appreciated this. They helped me moved accommodation midway through my internship and they made this very easy for me. Overall I had an incredible experience during my internship in Dublin and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is interested in interning abroad.
The experience of a lifetime
February 27, 2018by: Caroline Setefano - New ZealandProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience abroad. I not only gained valuable skills I can take back home with me but I also learnt about different cultures and gained new international friends. My internship has helped solidify my career path and has also paved a way for me to get my foot in the door. The mentoring I received and being surrounded by colleagues who were passionate in their field has inspired me to push myself and to pursue my goals. By completing an internship abroad I have made connections with people on this side of the world and have had a glimpse into the European work environment. I am glad that I bit the bullet and decided to apply for this programme as it has been an invaluable life experience.
The best experience of my life
February 23, 2018by: Auguste De Julliot Ngangue - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Travelling to Madrid last summer was undoubtedly the best decision I have ever taken. I have always been keen on gaining cutting edge work experience as well as travel the world, and The Intern Group offered just that. I was warmly welcomed at the airport by a nice and friendly taxi driver who drove me to the apartment and even helped me carry my bags up to the flat ! (that's real customer service right there!). Talking of the placement itself, TIG placed me with a marketing agency where I learned and developed a wide range of skills in the area of advertising and social media marketing. The close cooperation with the CEO of the company himself shattered the power distance and empowered me to fulfill my potential. Furthermore, we were housed in a cosy apartment in the heart of Madrid near Puerta Del Sol within walking distance from shops, bars, gyms and popular tourist attractions. I can still remember myself walking down Calle Del Arenal all the way down to the Palace via Opera train station while window shopping. The social activities were just amazing!! TIG took us for a day trip to Toledo and we also visited el Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. It was a huge privilege to visit such a historic city and see where the likes of Zidane and Ronaldo (the real one, LOL) played and made history. The only downside was that I am a Barcelona fan and my fellow Barca supporters now think I am a traitor ! Well, I think that's something we'll have to resolve and debate internally LOL. With the Barcelona programme now being launched, I will have a chance to clear this up with my boys.
Fulfilling Experience! Totally over-exceeded my expectations.
February 16, 2018by: Isabel Avendano - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Hi all! My name is Isabel, I recently graduated from my bachelors degree in Economics. I had the opportunity to do an 6 week internship in Dublin (starting in Nov 2017) and if I can describe in one sentence this experience I would say it is one of the most rewarding ones I have ever had. First of all, Dublin is such a splendid city to live in. It is secure, open minded and very beautiful. When I live there I enjoyed so much the Pub Culture. People are always so nice and it gives you great chances to meet amazing people. I had the opportunity to meet lifetime friends (this definitely one of the best things of my internship!). Second, the position I had in a successful Recruitment company was very enriching. As my previous experience was in Business Consulting, I was able to learn more from it! My coworkers were always so nice. I was able to observe their duties in a close way, which allowed me to perform better every day. Also, my boss' main goal was for me to take the best out of the period I was interning with them. We, as a team, always tried to achieve the goals we set at the beginning of the week. In this way, I could develop better my skills. I got an insight in how an international company works, got great contacts for future opportunities, expand my abilities in different areas of the company (such as recruitment, compliance, research, etc.) and increased my confidence when dealing with all kind of people. Third, after the 6 week internship was over both the company and myself were very sad to stop working together. We kept in touch couple weeks after and then the great idea of working remotely emerged! Now, the company sent me a computer from Dublin to Mexico (where I am currently living) and we are still working together. Working remotely from such long distance is a very different experience but even more rewarding, as the company is always trying to look the best for both sides. Finally, I couldn't be more happy for my decision of joining the Intern Group! Dublin team is lovely, always giving support to the interns and trying their best for us to get the real Irish experience. I highly recommend this program, I am sure every single one of you is going to grow in so many ways and this is going to develop greatly your true self for the future. Thank you for reading this! I believe in your abilities to choose right! I wish you all the best! Isabel
A blessing from heaven!
February 02, 2018by: Cindy Cabrera - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I did a lot of research and praying before applying to The Intern Group and I must say this was the most well rounded company out there! Your money is well invested here. EVERY part of my experience in Madrid was beyond belief. From my amazing flat and mates, the location, work, activities, social life, and safety, it was all such an amazing experience. I honestly cannot think of any complaints that were not addressed or resolved. Of course life isn’t perfect but the Madrid team with Lalita and everyone on her team really made it feel like it was! All the friends I made on this trip are planning on going back just as I am! Matter fact one of my flat mates is doing a semester in Spain as I write this! Haha definitely became second home to me and I pray to God I have an opportunity to go soon! I can only say that I loved every single part of Madrid and The Intern Group. I had a couple college peers who also worked with them and all their comments were very positive! Highly Highly Highly Recommend!!! #Madrid #TIG



Best decision and summer ever
February 01, 2018by: Nancy Haniene - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The Intern Group was the best choice I could have made. You have a full and amazing experience professionally and socially. I got to make great contacts at work and friends that will last a life time. Madrid is an excellent city, since you have a very rich culinary, cultural, natural, urban experience. The Intern Group staff were always willing to help and make us feel safe. I remember I got really sick and my throat hurt really bad and I got in touch with Lalita and she help me get a doctors appointment and even arranged for me to miss work one day so that I could rest and feel better; she really made it feel like I was at home. Comparing my Internship with some friends that got Internships in other programs or from their schools, this was by far the best. I had the opportunity to work with the CEO of the company I was interning for. He assigned me a project and we had a meeting twice a week, also he made it very clear that any doubt I had I should e-mail him and it would be perfectly fine. I had a very enriching experience and learned a lot. I 100% recommend this program, and if it happens that you're not happy or comfortable at your work place, which I doubt it happens, you can e-mail them and The Intern Group will find a solution for you.
Would not recommend it to others
December 23, 2017by: Osasu - LondonProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I found the staff at the Intern group Madrid to be extremely unhelpful; from the visa application to my time in Madrid. First of all, they never mentioned that we would have to pay a deposit on arrival. Then the flat I was put in was awful. On my first day, I had problems getting in and when I tried to call the emergency number, nobody picked up. Both the girls I lived with had problems with their employers and the group did nothing to help. In fact, they made the situation worse. Similarly, they promise that where you live won't be too far from your work place but it took me an hour to commute everyday. I emailed them to complain and got no response. Honestly, I think this whole thing is a complete waste of money as you don't get any value for it. I could go on and on about how poor the program. The only plus is that you meet some really nice people there and the social scene is A1.
Dear Osasu, thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you met some really nice people and that you enjoyed the social aspect of the program. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the other aspects of the program. We take all of the feedback from our participants to heart, so thank you for your honesty. This will enable us to make things better for future interns. Since your internship in 2014, we have changed the participants’ accommodation, and expanded our team in Madrid to be able to provide more local support to interns, both pre-program and during the program. Again, I am really sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your internship experience. If you have any other feedback or would like to talk about this in further detail please email us at [email protected].
Internship in Hong Kong
December 01, 2017by: KP - EnglandProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My experience with the intern group in Hong Kong far exceeded my expectations. They are very efficient and professional, they offered me great support prior to going to Hong Kong. Upon my arrival and during the extent of my stay in Hong Kong the activities they organised were phenomenal and their constant help was great. I would recommend this experience to anyone seeking a great time and to anyone seeking a new adventure !
5 stars!
November 22, 2017by: AK - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
Absolutely amazing! Shoutout to New York team for this experience. Guided me through everything and answered every single question and explained everything to me in full! Would definitely recommend!! The placement was above expectations which actually made me want to have a career in that field on the back of this placement.
An incredible experience in Medellin
November 21, 2017by: Austin Letorney - United StatesI spent a couple of months in Medellin working for a non-profit organization and it was incredible. My boss was super helpful and very accommodating. My apartment was so much fun and I have made incredible friends from not only my roommates, but also others that I met during my time in Medellin. The staff at the Intern Group is the best. They are willing to help with anything and everything and are just super fun to be around. It was a once in a lifetime experience in an awesome city and I would highly recommend immersing yourself into Colombian culture.
Intern Group - Melbourne
November 03, 2017by: ---Program: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
10/10 would recommend the Intern Group program! One of the best abroad experiences I've had. I definitely learned so much about myself and gained a lot of new skills to help with job placements. I also fell in love with Melbourne during the process.
Marketing internship
October 20, 2017by: Audrey Wanstrath - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I loved working in Spain. I was able to learn about a different culture while gaining business skills. My favorite part was learning with people who speak a different language. I was able to explore the world and learn so much about myself .
Once in a lifetime opportunity with The Intern Group
October 20, 2017by: Danny Alexander - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My experiences with The Intern Group, in Melbourne Australia, were fantastic. I made new friends immediately, starting with a shared cab with other interns on my flight into Melbourne. Arriving into a foreign country by yourself can be intimidating, but The Intern Grouo made the transition a smooth as possible with social activities and an informative orientation. The accommodations met expectations, and it was convenient having an on-site dining option. My finance internship provided me transferable knowledge and skills that I continue to utilize in my academics and further recruitment efforts. The Intern Group was very accommodating and well organized. Holistically the experience was one-of-a-kind, providing both valuable internship experience and engaging social aspects. I truly recommend this program to anyone interested in a unique, dynamic work environment alongside an opportunity to explore the gem that is Melbourne.
Unforgettable experience
October 20, 2017by: Hiwot Adane - EthiopiaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
If you are looking to intern abroad, The Intern Group is the way to do it. The staff ensures you will have an exciting journey from the moment you sign up until you have finished your internship. The experience by itself will enhance your career development tremendously.
Best ever
October 19, 2017by: Dos - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
It was the best experience ever, which includes picking up from the airport, orientation, housing, events, final interview and there is a drop off at the airport too. It could not have been better. Brian and Nicholas were very helpful since the beginning. Brian always stayed in touch with me to make sure that I am learning enough in the office and getting all the help I need. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. Nicholas was constantly sending me advice in the email for the places to visit in NYC city and asking for my feedback about my program. Overall, it was a great experience. I am looking forward to hearing more about London internship program.
Internship in Medellin
October 14, 2017by: Afshan Akhtar - PakistanI stayed for a total of four weeks in Medellin and even though the time was pretty short, I felt like had an amazing experience there thanks to The Intern Group. The opportunities they provided us with and the constant support made this a very well rounded trip. Would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of coming to Colombia.
It will be aite!!!
October 02, 2017by: Kalifa HowardProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I can truly say at the beginning I was nervous and secretly apprehensive about interning abroad. I wasn't in a healthy place mentally at the time and took a risk in coming to Melbourne, which to some seemed foolish. Thankfully, I put aside negative thoughts and opinions and took a "it will be aite" approach to my journey. Interning in Melbourne was everything I dreamed it could be. I worked hard I played harder, but in the those three months (which all my coworkers said was a short time) I learnt more about myself than I have in a long time. Interning abroad challenges you to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life and discover your passion for life and adventure. There is so much to say about Melbourne, it is a very liveable and welcoming city, which I had the pleasure of exploring and learnt to love as my adopted home. As for The Intern Group Melbourne, they went out of there way to be inviting and helpful, which was key for my program being such a success. While the living conditions weren't all that's its cracked up to be it forces you to wander around the city and you spend less time in there than you realise. Overall this journey was a success for me because I met new people, embraced a new culture and learned/reinforced work skills needed for future achievements. Melbourne is a city that has captured my heart and plays key part in my story going forward in life.
Great experience in great city
September 27, 2017by: Xiaoyan Guo - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
Definitely a meaningful and memorable experience to me. I was able to practice my working skills in my dream position, with new friends from diverse countries and helpful coordinator and other staff in Intern Group. Though only lasts 2 month, this trip would not only be a highlight in my CV, but also a story I would like to share to all!
Great internship experience
September 25, 2017by: Michelle Sok - United StatesI made the right choice of choosing the Intern Group to start my global experience. My London internship is great and flexible. Ariana Christoffers is the community coordinator here in London. She gave me an amazing first tour of Canada Water. She is an amazing coordinator and helps you have a comfortable and pleasant experience.
What an exhilarating experience!
September 14, 2017by: Heema Upadhyay - EnglandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I completed a Finance internship with a Wealth Advisory firm which was such an eye opening internship and really made me realise what I don't know and encouraged work even harder through my 6 weeks. The social aspect was just amazing! Met some really really great people some of which will even help you in your future endeavours! Definitely worth it, would highly recommend to anyone thinking of doing this program. The only improvement I would suggest is the accomodation. It was sufficient however could've been better in terms of facilities. Overall what a great summer!
At home and away
September 13, 2017by: LJD - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Taking part in this internship abroad has been perhaps one of the most challenging and yet rewarding time of my life. From meeting new people to living in an entirely different city, these last six weeks have challenged me more than most! However I have learnt a lot about myself and the culture that I became immersed in. I loved my internship as I really felt as though I became part of a team and was able to see the behind-the-scenes to political campaigning. That being said, there were times that I struggled, especially feeling homesick because of the time difference. I do think that more could be done in this area, with regards to accommodation, to make interns feel more comfortable and at home. There are also a few things that I was not informed of, including lack of toilet roll and cleaning accessories prior to my arrival. Apart from that, my time in New York has been amazing and I have certainly experienced a great deal. I look forward to using my time here as I progress through my career.
Management consultant
September 12, 2017by: Shane Benoit - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
It was a great social and learning experience. I made friends with people from all over the world that I intend to keep in touch with. The internship allowed you to gain valuable real life experience in your field of study.
6 weeks internship as a materials engineer
September 11, 2017by: Guillaume Zoetelief Tromp - United KingdomThe whole experience was amazing, from the country to the workplace. Medellin is a great city to live in with all the facilities you need close-by. During my 6 weeks in Colombia I got the opportunity to explore a whole new country and activities were organised to help discover the culture as well as touristic sites in and around the city. As for the placement, the Intern Group try very hard to put you in the internship that you prefer and are always there to help. I had a great experience doing research in a startup and getting to know Colombian people and improving my Spanish. Thanks a lot to the Intern Group for all they have done for me during my six weeks there.
First time down under (literally!)
September 10, 2017by: KCLGEO2017 - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Living in the UK, I always forgot Australia existed, being so far away. When an internship opportunity in Australia arose, I thought "why the hell not? Never have been, unlikely I would go in the future, so why not mix travel and work experience together?" Graduating in Geography, I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew from my three years of university that I wanted to see how a local NGO company worked, seeing how many of my lectures and lecturers always talked so positively about how the local is more effective than global organisations. This experience definitely helped me focus on what I wanted to do, what I was good at and what the office atmosphere was like (as I had never worked in an office before). My company was very welcoming. Having come off a long and strenuous flight from London, I was feeling homesick, especially after seeing where I was on the globe - literally the other side of the world! They made Melbourne feel less distant, making going to my office each day the best part of Melbourne for me! At the end, I was given good references, both from my host company and The Intern Group, which has definitely helped me boost my CV. Through the internship I am able to show real experiences in job applications and interviews back in London, which has definitely made job hunting less nerve-wracking. As for Australia itself? EXPLORE! It's a big country (even though I graduated in Geography, even I was thrown off with how large the country was). Melbourne is great for it's culture, with loads of events to do after work. There's also so much to do further out of the city, with Great Ocean Road, the Puffing Billy Steam Train, Phillip Island, the Grampians (which I didn't go to unfortunately!) and so much more. There's Sydney too, which also has a lot to offer and gave off more of a city vibe to me than Melbourne. You can easily spend a good 3-4 days there since there are ferries available to explore the entire coastline of Sydney. I only went to Sydney outside of Melbourne, but other interns recommended Cairns (if you want to escape the Melbourne "winter" - which isn't a winter if you're from London). My only piece of advice? Go during the Australian spring/summer!
A fantastic experience
September 10, 2017by: Hannah Brown - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Arriving in Melbourne in July 2017, I found The Intern Group Melbourne team to be very friendly and welcoming. The walking tour on the second day was a great way to meet the other interns in my group and the staff did everything they could to make the first few days as hassle-free as possible. One of the best things they did was to give us a link to an accommodation form where we could report anything wrong with our rooms or the equipment on our floors. I found my room to be perfectly suited to my needs and the staff replaced a blind when there was a strong draft coming from the window. The included events were a lot of fun, the stand out one being a trip to Healesville sanctuary to meet kangaroos and some of the other Australian wildlife. The career coaching session that was provided was very useful and there were a few other careers events that really helped me to visualize my next steps after university. My favourite thing about the experience was my internship placement. I expected to be given a journalism or marketing internship, because broadcasting is a very difficult field to get into, but the video production company that I worked for was a perfect fit for me. I gained many new skills and made some amazing connections, so much so that I'm now doing content writing for their website from home. I highly recommend this experience to students or graduates who are looking to kick start their careers. If you approach everything with enthusiasm and an open mind, you will get so much out of the internship and you'll also make new friends from all over the world!
Dublin internship experience
September 07, 2017by: Mariam Araim - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
My Dublin experience was a once in a life time opportunity that I enjoyed every aspect of. Dublin itself is a very metropolitan city with lots of history, art, and music surrounding you at all times. The city had lots to offer and there was never a dull moment where I was stuck to find something to do or a new place to explore. The city keeps you on your feet with something new happening every week and for the days where I needed a peaceful time I could easily access hiking trails, cliffs, waterfalls or even hop on a train and explore Ireland's beautiful countryside. My internship placement has taught me so many valuable skills that I will carry with me to future opportunities in life. I got the chance to work alongside a team of passionate co-workers that were very kind, welcoming, and were very willing to include me in all aspects of the organization. Also, the coordinators were a great support system to have throughout my 10 weeks spent in the city. They are very personable, caring, and were very quick to respond to any inquiries I had. I learned so much from the different people I have met throughout my time in Dublin and made lifelong friends that I look forward to seeing in the future. I would recommend anyone interested in an international experience with The Intern Group to go for it.
My internship in the big apple
September 01, 2017by: Sas - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
From start to finish the Intern Group NY were extremely helpful and caring. I cannot praise Nicholas enough for his help during the VISA process, I couldn't have done it without him. Brian was very welcoming and arranged fun activities during the 6 months I was there, my favourites being Top of the Rock and the Boat Cruise on the Hudson River. A big thank you to Andy, Emma, Katherine, for being super friendly and quickly tackling any problems I faced on my internship. I absolutely loved the production internship I was placed on and I've made excellent contacts and friends for life. My office was based in Dumbo which was amazing as I could sit by the river at lunch and view the incredible Manhattan skyline. New York really is the greatest city in the world. The food, the people and the views are fantastic. For anyone interested in applying to Intern NY, I would say, go for it, you won't regret it.
Changed my life!
August 30, 2017by: Hayley Shields - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
For me, this experience has changed my life. In only 8 weeks, I managed to receive a job offer from amazing company I worked for in New York, and made an abundance of connections that will help me secure business relations as well as life-long friendships for many years to come. You cannot put into words American culture until you experience it yourself, so the only thing I can suggest is that you don't sit pondering this opportunity. Yes it may seem costly, but my entire experience was worth every penny. I sat, like you, weighing up my options. But The Intern Group provide you with a seamless pre-arrival experience, as well as the security whilst in America to work, explore & transition into the culture. I was lucky enough to be interning in the same office building as The Intern Group & quickly made friends with the whole team. My internship for a start-up was challenging, but it has equipped me better for the future than any previous work experience or job I've had prior. Similarly, their Workshops focusing on different aspects of professional development with renown industry leaders and influencers, were integral to my experience abroad and my career going forward. Just go for it, & take every opportunity put in front of you!
New York internship experience
August 29, 2017by: Demi - NetherlandsProgram: Internships in New York
Had an amazing time, with great people and incredible opportunities! Everything was arranged very well and if I had any questions or needed anything, I was able to contact someone very easily. Additionally, many activities were organised during the weekends during which you could meet all the other interns. Definitely would do it again!

A fruitful journey
August 28, 2017by: Thomson - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
It has been a wonderful journey working as an intern in New York City. At work, my colleagues are friendly and helpful and my boss is patient and kind to me. I believe my effort is recognized and I have gain knowledge beyond theory and books through hands-on experience. For social life, though it is pretty tired after a hustle workday, I find my myself never still cease to be attracted by the beauty of the great apple. Imagine yourself living in the scenes of Hollywood movie and that is how I spend my last 2 months. Not bad, right? Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Coney Island, Rockefeller. You name it. I even pay my visit to the nearest cities including Philadelphia, Washington DC, Niagara and Toronto during my weekends. Of course, it is never easy to adapt yourself in a strange environment. I am a undergraduate university student from Hong Kong. It is of rare occassion that I will stay in a foreign city for more than a week. I feel a bit disorientated at my first night. And it got tougher for not speaking my mother tongue-Cantonese in a long time. But let me share my secret formula to conquer these challenges with you - roll out, meet some friends. I promise you they won't bite. This is Thomson from Hong Kong and I wish you good fortune in your journey ahead.
Internship at the advance group, summer 2017
August 28, 2017by: KD - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
The opportunity to reside in New York City for two months proved to be one worth seizing. I had an excellent time, both through the internship placement itself and during free time, when I was able to explore the city to my heart's content. The internship placement itself proved to be extremely interesting, and allowed me to interact directly with several elements of local politics in the U.S, experience that will be invaluable to me in the future. My accommodation was excellent, particularly given its location on the Upper West Side with close links to the subway system. Overall the experience was excellent.
Internship at NY!
August 25, 2017by: ManLikeBK - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
Did an 8 week placement as a Product and Business Development intern with Unidos. My internship was no doubt a rewarding experience! Co-workers were very welcoming and supportive and easy to get along with. I was working on a project called Sengo Money Transfers which is a money transfer app similar to Xoom and PayPal but it has 3 features of Phone Top-Ups, Bill Payments and the Standard Money Transfer. I relished the opportunity of working with aspiring professionals at Unidos and being able to work on an ongoing project. Being able to meet the other interns at the Weekend events organised by Brian was amazing and is a great opportunity to establish life long friendships and global connections. The professional development workshops organised by Brian are extremely valuable and you get the opportunity to be able to network with Professionals living in New York. New York is an amazing city to work and live in! Only thing I would say is that the costs for the program is rather expensive and there are A LOT of hidden costs involved. I think it would be really helpful if the Intern Group were able to breakdown every cost just so potential interns that could be applying are aware. I also think we should be provided with a choice of which accommodation to stay at based on preferences rather than being allocated randomly. So someone who likes to get involved with activities and events, they should have the choice of staying at the 92Y. Whereas someone who has different preferences may prefer 850 West End. I would say to other incoming interns to make sure you research the accommodation and whether you would be happy to stay there for 8 weeks or longer. Every experience will have ups and downs but for me personally, the Intern Group has been an overall positive experience! Only minor issues but the positives easily outweigh the negatives for this! If you can afford this, I would say go for it! A once in a lifetime opportunity which will be a big help for your professional and personal development. Although I do believe Intern group should look for ways to make the internship program more affordable for those who could potentially be good interns but are not able to pursue due to financial barriers.
Experience of a lifetime!
August 24, 2017by: Hannah - ManchesterProgram: Internships in New York
Living and working in New York for the past 2 months have been incredible and I'm going to miss everything about it so much! I have made some amazing friends and have discovered a new city that I will no doubt be coming back to very soon. Before coming here, I never thought of myself as someone who could live and work in a big city like London, let alone New York, so to be coming to the end of doing just that AND loving it is huge for me and makes me feel like I have so much more opportunities open to me. I had so many doubts before coming here like the fact that I've never been away from my friends and family for so long and just the prospect of going to New York on my own is terrifying, but I'm so glad I did. It's made me so much more independent and is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life, both in a personal and professional sense. So to anyone thinking of doing this, just do it. You won't regret it and will have the time of your life. Although it's expensive (and trust me, that was one of the things holding me back at first), think about it as an investment into your future! To have this on your CV will make you more employable and more likely to get a better job out of it! Plus you get to brag about the fact that you've done an internship in New York!
it's definitely unforgettable memories...
August 24, 2017by: ML - New YorkProgram: Internships in New York
Before I came here to New York, I never thought that I could have an internship I like so much. I love kids and teaching, this internship provided what I needed and wanted for the internship. Thank you so much.
Balanced Work and cultural experience
August 24, 2017by: Younhyung Lee - LondonProgram: Internships in New York
This Internship experience exceeded my expectation. I could work at a wonderful company and learn so many valuable experiences including practical skills and networking. Also, weekly events on Saturday by The Intern Group provided me an opportunity to experience this amazing city and the US culture. Therefore I strongly believe that this two months internship was one of the most important and precious experience for me. The Intern Group supported the whole process carefully from the beginning to the end. I will recommend this program to other people who need an internship opportunity.
One of the Best Experiences I've Ever Had!!!
August 24, 2017by: Rafael Vite - SaltilloProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Whether you are looking for job experience, put in practice your abilities and knowledge, or simply you are looking for a productive way to spend your time, this internship is right you. The Intern Group does a great job finding a company that properly fits your profile and especially, what you are looking for. I was placed at a technology company where I was able to put in practice my marketing and innovation abilities, but also I learned a great deal from many other aspects of strategic management, marketing, and a bit about coding. Everybody at the company was extremely friendly and supportive. They truly cared about me learning something in addition to contributing to the team. What I loved about this internship was that not only great job experience that I gained but also the cultural aspects of the country. The events and community coordinator placed by TIG is key to the success of the cultural experience. He was able to bring a sense of family among many interns and helped us to discover the country's best places and activities. I would do it all over again!!!

Fantastic
August 24, 2017by: Annie Hill - YorkProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I would not change one thing about my Australian winter, both the work and the people were amazing. The Intern Group don't just place you onto their programme, they are there throughout your entire experience. It was great to know that they were always there if you need them and the included trips are a really good laugh!
Working abroad with a Non-profit
August 24, 2017by: Anonymous - LondonProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Going 22 hours away from home to a country I'd never been to before seemed pretty daunting at first but after my first week, I realised I had made the right choice. The Intern Group were so supportive (and understanding) before my arrival and during my 10-week stay. I was fortunate to be placed with an amazing company run by compassionate and pretty funny people (as you find most people are in Melbourne) and made friends who made me laugh more than I've ever done before. Would do this again in a heartbeat!
Melbourne internship in CBD
August 22, 2017by: John - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
The internship itself was pretty good, though I do wish my boss had more time to spend with me one-on-one to teach me more skills. That said, I feel I was exposed to many aspects of the business, and did learn many skills that I can take with me. My coworkers were wonderful and also assisted me with tasks when needed.
Best internship experience in Dublin
August 22, 2017by: Emma - United KingdomProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I am extremely happy I took part in this internship experience in Dublin through the Intern Group. I had an eight week internship which was a great opportunity, from which I feel like I have gained so much more than work experience from! The social aspect of taking part in this programme with the other interns made the trip worthwhile and I have made friends for life. The Dublin coordinators are extremely competent, friendly and approachable to any question or query anyone had and really contributed to making the internship more of an experience. I would highly recommended choosing Dublin as the place for an international internship and further the Intern Group as the best way to go!
Fabulous
August 21, 2017by: Lucy - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Great experience living in New York and working in a company based overseas. Amazing trips on the weekends. The city makes up for the lack of amenities in the rooms. Great to have on your CV, as really makes you stand out. Enjoyed it thoroughly. The only thing is to make sure you get what YOU want out of the internship, as some of the work tasks can be a bit monotonous.
Life changing
August 21, 2017by: Becky - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
My 3 months in New York was genuinely the best 3 months of my life so far. I was thrilled daily by the city's constant ability to surprise me further. There was always something new going on and I learned so much as I experienced the people and New York culture. I wish I could relive it and couldn't recommend it more to anyone who's on the fence! Yes it is challenging but it'll be the most exciting and enriching challenge you ever take. What's more the team of support you have is faultless. Brian and Julia are simply wonderful and Nicholas is so helpful and encouraging if you ever need some support!
Dublin
August 21, 2017by: Cat - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had an amazing 10 weeks in Dublin both socially and professionally. I feel I have grown in various amounts of ways through the work I completed as well as the people I met. The program was extremely well run and I never felt confused or concerned. I was always informed about what the next step was going to be. wOnce I got to Dublin, there was a variety of meet ups planned which helped me get to know all the other interns. It was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone.
A truly authentic Colombian experience
August 19, 2017by: Arjuna - EnglandI was initially deterred from accepting my offer due to the large program fee, but decided to join the program due to it being a very unique opportunity. Looking back on my experience it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're looking for an authentic experience of Colombia, this is the program for you. With The Intern Group you are welcomed into a large community of international interns, provided with fantastic accommodation and given great social events allowing you to meet people and integrate. On the internship side, you will find a placement best suited to your expertise & preferences with the help of the team. During your internship you will be given a lot of responsibility which is a great opportunity to see what you're really made of and test your self-management. I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who is looking to gain international work experience and wants to find out what Colombia is really about.
Magnificent
August 17, 2017by: Evan - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
This program was amazing to say the least. I had the time if my life meeting new people, seeing new sights and meeting new people! I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to expand their horizons and challenge themselves.
What the world needs more of
August 16, 2017by: Rachel - CanadaHands-on experience. Personable staff. Fast and easy process. Workshops designed to make you better at being you. Networking opportunities like never before. Exactly what young people need today to thrive in the real world. Highly encourage students to take part in The Intern Group's program - especially if you are in University often lacking learning opportunities that go beyond the books. Take a deep breath and jump into an experience that will shake you, break you at times but nevertheless make you a stronger person by the end of your placement. Guaranteed.
Unexpected good internship
August 15, 2017by: Mike - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
The internship experience is extremely good. However I have to tolerate about the accommodation and really long journey everyday (1hour and half)! Overall I am satisfied.
Once in a lifetime experience
August 12, 2017by: Faust - IndonesiaProgram: Internships in New York
Going to the Big Apple might only be a dream for me if it's not for the Intern Group. Even though the process of coming there can be a bit challenging, they guided me through it and I made it in time. The experience during the internship was also priceless. I got to work with real professionals with 20+ years of experience in my field who were very supportive and gave me a lot of guidance and advices. Beyond the work the Intern Group always arranged a weekend getaway in which we can experience and see the city of New York along with the other interns. It was for me an invaluable experience and I feel like this experience is going to help me going forward in my future career. Thank you Intern Group.
Life boost
August 10, 2017by: AnonymousAlways be skeptical whenever trekking the unbeaten path! ALWAYS. Let's be serious. Who is going to ever pay to work? Nobody, right? Well, think again. If you have the money and you are in need of a career boost, especially international experience, THIS IS FOR YOU. When I traveled to London with the Intern Group, I was a Junior back in the States, and I had already traveled to the financial capital of the world twice so far (summer courses). I knew what to expect (NOT AT ALL). As an intern in London, I learned more about time management than I ever did in college. The university housing was decent for the ordinary student, the social events organized by The Intern Group were simply fantastic, and the internship itself proved to be very useful, as I learned a number of office and communication skills (Institute of Economic Affairs). Even though I was not promised any compensation, I made new connections all throughout the program, learned more about my own strengths and weaknesses, and gave myself an extraordinary life boost.
Interning in London - summer '17
August 09, 2017by: Marwa E. - EnglandI first found the Intern Group while searching for ways to do an internship abroad. An internship is required for my major at my university, and I thought what better way to do it than to go abroad? While the Intern Group has a number of locations, I knew that London was where I wanted to go. I had been to the U.K. once before for a short time, and I had been trying to find a way to go back since. The placement process felt quite hands-on, and I felt that I really got to voice my opinion. Initially, however, I was reluctant to accept my placement because I didn't think it was a perfect fit. However, when I got to London, I realized the placement team knew me better than I knew myself! The internship was incredible, the team I was working with were supportive and passionate about their work, and I felt like I was making a real difference both for them and for those that they assist with their nonprofit work. And of course, being in London was wonderful! Last time I was in the U.K. I only got to go to London for about 2 days, so now, to be able to live there was amazing! The city is truly incredible, and it is so easy to go out and do something as often as you'd like, whether that be shopping, trying new restaurants, or going to different museums, or checking out different art installations, or music shows, or food festivals; whatever it is, London's got it! And thankfully the city is budget friendly, with plenty of inexpensive (but delicious!) eats and free events about town (speaking of, the public transit was a revelation to someone like me who always has to drive around if I need to go anywhere). I truly loved my internship and my time in London and I know I will treasure it for the rest of my life; so if you can make this work, I would enthusiastically recommend that you take that first step and start making memories that will last you a lifetime. Good luck!
Awesome memories
August 07, 2017by: Alex - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Was skeptical at first but had a great time working here and living but it all ended up being great fun. Got to do many new things and to an extent probably got to discover more things about myself as well as learn more about the world around me. Company and intern group were both great! I had a point I hurt my hand playing sports with clubs and the intern group very very helpful and gave great advice when it came to medical treatment and what to do and who to call/keep updated. Very stress free time here. One thing they did well was make me feel involved and am important part of the family here!
First internship experience
August 07, 2017by: Triston Waiss - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
First time in NYC and had a great time. Met a ton of professionals. I think the most important thing to emphasize for anyone entering the program is that it will fall on them to make the most of their time here. The support structure TIG provides is great, but TIG doesn't need to (and I don't think should) try to facilitate all the networking experiences. Compiling lists of events lie forums, panels etc. and providing them to interns would be a great way to help them, but I think the best thing is for the individuals to have to do the networking themselves and learn from that. Also, DO NOT give EHS Brooklyn anymore business... the place is disgusting and the staff are borderline useless.
10/10
August 07, 2017by: Leilani Celi - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Overall a great experience! The team really goes above and beyond to ensure everything goes smoothly. Traveling to a country so far away can be scary but they were there to guide you through every step. Would recommend to anyone!
Software engineering intern
August 05, 2017by: Munir Malik - United KingdomIt was an amazing experience, The Intern Group staff made me feel very welcome here. Their weekend outings are what set them apart in my opinion. They were very fun and allowed us interns to get to know each other in a beautiful and fun setting.
Great opportunity!
August 03, 2017by: Kenan James - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I was so grateful to have done my first internship in China. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is seriously considering working abroad long-term. My program coordinator, Tommy, was incredible and honestly made the experience so much more enjoyable. For a new program, things ran relatively smoothly. The only changes I might suggest would be better communication before the program starts (more help with the visa application process, a better breakdown of projected costs of living upfront, more accurate descriptions of internship positions, etc). Overall, I had a great experience.
Fantastic experience in Melbourne
August 03, 2017by: Rex - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
All the folks from the Intern Group are friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make you feel at ease while away. The community they help build between yourself and the other interns is fantastic, as well. Not to mention the fun excursions they offer. My favourites were the walking tour and the wine tour. Definite musts!
Review: The Intern Group (Spain)
August 02, 2017by: Sarah Goldberg - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My time with The Intern Group in Madrid, Spain was truly something special. During my internship, I learned practical knowledge about recruitment and selection on a global scale, which is invaluable to me as I begin my HR career. My favorite part about my time in Madrid was definitely the meals. Not only were they always delicious (how can you beat tapas!?) but this was also the time when I got to share and compare experiences with my fellow interns and coworkers. I highly recommend this internship program to those looking to step out of their comfort zone and acquire experience in their field along with a more global perspective!
Recommendation for The Intern Group
August 02, 2017by: Allison Geller - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I would highly recommend The Intern Group for anyone who is looking for an internship abroad. Not only do they do a great job at finding the right internship for you, but they include cultural activities that you can't learn in a classroom. Communication was great between the supervisors and staff. Overall I think everyone should do an internship abroad (preferably with The Intern Group) because it helps you grow as a person, your knowledge of other cultures & business scenes, and even pick up on another language. I would 100% participate in another internship program with The Intern Group.
TIG Shanghai internship
August 01, 2017by: Jaanvi LachhwaniProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
During my internship in Shanghai, I had the opportunity to meet Tommy. He is one of the most understanding people I have met. That being said, it was very efficient to coordinate with him during the course of my internship. Also, he encouraged us to take part in events and socialize and have a great time. Overall, I had a great time working and living in Shanghai because of Tommy's obliging personality.
Life changing internship program
July 31, 2017by: Sophie Corless - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
From the amazing coordinators to the people I met in my program, the Dublin internship opportunity was a once in a life time experience. From the moment I met everyone I felt welcomed and comfortable. Our first orientation was thoroughly detailed and our coordinators answered every question we had! Our meet-ups really captured the spirit of Dublin and allowed us interns to get to know each other even more. My internship was exactly how it was described, and I'm so grateful to have that work experience under my belt. I would recommend this program to every person I talk to, it's one that should not be missed!
NYC intern
July 30, 2017by: Lily - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
The program is overall amazing. My placement with British American Business was a great experience and the city is so much fun. The Intern Group arranged many social and professional events to the interns to attend. I strongly suggest the program.
Great!!
July 30, 2017by: pie - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
Overall it was smooth and wonderful. Everyone is helpful here, whenever I have questions before or during the internship, you always got fast replies from the group. Placement was fast, internship was fulfilling, you can get so much out of it. And the important thing is, you got to experience a whole new culture here!
My internship in London
July 28, 2017by: Maya - ScotlandHaving already finished my first year of University in the UK, I thought that getting an internship in London would be the next plausible step in terms of helping me secure a job after I graduated in the next couple of years. I initially was a bit nervous for it (as I had only worked in the family business before), but I was extremely excited to begin. I viewed this as a chance to further enhance my background knowledge in the entertainment industry... however, little did I know that I would learn so much more about myself and be able to outline more of my goals for the future. I moved to Edinburgh just last September, so luckily I didn't have to deal with the international flight, situation. However, the Intern Group still was extremely accommodating in terms of sending a cab to King's Cross and pick me directly up from the train station. This summer I lived in a studio flat in Camden- literally in the heart of it all, and just an 8 minute tube ride from work... and I absolutely loved it. Furthermore, my internship this summer was honestly better than I could have expected!! Everyone in the office was so helpful and friendly throughout my 10-week internship. I got to attend launch parties, photo-shoots, and even shadow in on some client meetings. Furthermore, I even got to work with some of the clients directly! I have a lot of friends that already have homes in London which was really helpful, but what I didn't expect was how friendly all the other interns were! I feel like I have honestly made lifelong friends from this program. It made me so excited that some of these people have already decided that they want to move to London upon their graduations! London is one of my favourite cities in the world and I know that anyone who chooses to come here for their internship will 100% absolutely love it. Besides the obvious culture and history, London has endless possibilities of activities to do. From amazing world-class restaurants and bars, to captivating museums, London is a city that caters to everyone's wants and needs. It is honestly one of the friendliest places I have ever had the opportunity to live in, and I truly have not met a single intern from this program that has disliked their internship or the city they chose to spend their summer in. Furthermore, the Intern Group helps you see the city to the fullest. Honestly, I was so surprised by the vast multitude of opportunities that are given to you as an intern. Whether it is seeing the London Eye, having afternoon tea, or going to the theatre, you will have so many chances to see the city (and the people)- all in such a unique way. My advice to any of those that are questioning on whether or not they want to do this program is to give it a chance and just do it!! You will have the best time (in one of the best cities in the world) and truly love your internship.
Wonderful!
July 27, 2017by: Abbi - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
This program is amazing! Coming to Melbourne from 9,000 miles away, anyone would be very nervous but as soon as I met the staff I felt right at ease! The events they planned were wonderful! I wouldn't have thought to do some of it and I'm so glad I got the owpportunity to! Not only is the staff super friendly but they're always there if you need anything! After 8 weeks here I wish I could extend my program!
Architectural internship
July 27, 2017by: Anonymous - BelgiumProgram: Internships in New York
I had a great experience in New York. I learned a lot about architecture, thanks to my job and also beside my job. New York is a such beautiful city. I met a lot of very interesting people from all over the world
Internship group
July 27, 2017by: Penmusic - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
This was a fantastic experience. When I paid for the 6 week internship, i thought that it would be too long and that i would be counting down the weeks until i got home. But it was not the case, in fact i dreaded leaving all of the friends i made during this internship. The coordinators made me feel at home and introduced all of Dublin to us. Fantastic experience!
An insight into Chinese social and professional culture
July 25, 2017by: Martin Macpherson - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Living and working in China for a month as part of this program was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of my life. Granted, I did not particularly enjoy my internship on a personal level but being a part of the workplace offered a great deal of knowledge and understanding of a professional culture that is entirely different to anything I had seen before. Socially, I was able to enjoy many of the attractions that Shanghai offered and lived in the city as if was comfortably my home rather than just a tourist destination. The Intern Group handled the entire process professionally and I never found myself concerned at any time during my stay. A lot of this is due to the way in which my stay was handled by The Intern Group.
London calling!
July 24, 2017by: Filippa Smedberg - SwedenIf you're like me, you love to travel but also feel the pressure to build your CV with some good content, the InternGroup combines the best of both worlds by giving you the opportunity to get an amazing work experience in an exciting environment. The InternGroup is an organization that appeals to everyone and anyone, if you're independent and coming to a new country is not an issue, London is your oyster and just waiting to be explored! On the other hand, if you're more nervous to take on the city, the InternGroup makes you feel like home. They're always one e-mail, phone call, text, or Facebook message away and help you every step of the way if you need it. As for friends, you'll make friends in no time as you're surrounded by organized events and other great interns that will make you feel like a real Londoner. My time at the office has been nothing but amazing, I had the opportunity to experience the intense London work life for a whole summer, and it gave me a taste of what the future has in store. The company I worked for taught me so much, and I was able to put theory (from what I had learned at University) into practice, and the way I look at Marketing and PR will never be the same. Weekends in Hyde Park, dinners in Covent Garden, and work days at Liverpool Street was like something out of a movie, and I cherished every second of it. It could be your turn now, and I can promise you it will be an experience of a lifetime.
Internship experience shaping my future
July 21, 2017by: Annika Hileman - United StatesI think the greatest thing about my internship was how much I learned. I am studying theater in school and I was looking for an opportunity to get hands on experience with all the aspects of theater. I have a strong interest in directing and technical theater, but coming from the performance side of theater I had little experience with this. I was placed at The London Theatre, a small fringe theater in New Cross. Since is was a small theater, I had the opportunity to learn sound design, light design, casting, producing, and directing. At the end of my time, I got to put on my own production, with a cast I hired and a rehearsal schedule I created. Since everything was so accessible I was able to get a full understanding of what it takes to run a small theater, which got me thinking about one day owning and running my own small theater. This is something I never thought I could do, or have the experience necessary to do. I could not be more pleased with how this internship turned out. Thank you to The Intern Group for placing me in a theater where I am doing exactly what I wanted to do! Beyond my job, the accommodations are wonderful. I have my own space, but also a nice shared kitchen where I can cook and hang out with roommates. The other interns in the program are wonderful and I enjoy going to organized meet ups, as well as adventuring out on our own. Getting to live, work, and explore London has been my favorite part of the whole experience. I have made many amazing memories that I could not have made otherwise.
Wonderful experience combines working and traveling
July 21, 2017by: David Wang - ChinaI think the experience I got here really exceed my expectation. I worked as a finance intern in a pretty big PR firm that has offices around the world. I got responsibilities from the first day and had exposure to various aspects of finance. I got trained on using SAP and have worked on some accounting things like reconciliation, drafting invoices, and billing. I have also done several corporate finance projects like daily cash flow forecast, comparable company analysis, earn-outs breakdown analysis, and analyzing wins and losses of the company in a global perspective. London is a wonderful city to live except the costs are high. It's convenient to travel both inside and outside of the city. Popular tourists places like Brighton, Bath, Cambridge, and Oxford will just take around one hour train and the public transportation system is quite convenient in London. I always travel outside of London once a week and I even take day offs and went to Munich for four days in one of the weeks. The other amazing point of this journey is that I made friends from all over the world. I lived in a shared house with six other people. There were people leaving and coming in the house during my two months stay, but I am still able to make really good friends with some of them. Interestingly, almost all the people here are from different countries, so it's always fun to sit in the dining room and chat with them the whole night. I look forward to meeting them again in their countries when I exchange to Europe next year! As for the improvement, I think the time from application to the time getting the internship is a bit long which makes people feel some insecurity during the process. Students will usually apply for several other openings but the program needs you to pay deposit along the application process making students need to stick with the program along the way. This is kind of risky in my point of view since the cost will be high if you are not satisfied with the internship you get. Overall, It is really a once in a life time experience!
Amazing abroad experience in Dublin
July 21, 2017by: chloe Tullman - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I loved this experience! Everyone was incredibly nice and Katlin and Iolanda were always available and happy to help with anything we might have needed. The social aspect of this trip was wonderful as well, and there were always options of things to do with the group. I loved staying at UCD and was very happy with the accommodations. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!
Dublin program
July 20, 2017by: Kaden Lynch - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I have to say that these past six weeks were definitely the best times of my life. Coming from a small town in Arizona I really had no idea what to expect coming to Ireland, but the program coordinators and events made the transition very easy for me. I'm grateful I got to meet so many wonderful people that I will continue to keep in contact with even after this program is over. The work environment was very laid back , and if you have any questions feel free to confront your boss about it because they understand that this is a learning experience for you. Although I did spend a good portion of my time outside of work in Dublin pubs, I advise anyone considering this program to explore the countryside and send it for the lads.
Awesome
July 19, 2017by: Lacey - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
It was awesome and I highly suggest it. Most beautiful place I have ever seen. The rooms are a little awful And the social events only really appeal to drinkers, but it is still worth going. You can definitely get over those two things
Intern group dublin
July 17, 2017by: Kendall much - GeorgiaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
My 10 week internship with the intern group in Dublin was the best way I could have spent my summer. Since Dublin is a smaller city that has mountains and beaches on the outskirts of it, traveling around was fun and simple. Our program coordinators were amazing. They were very responsive with any problems and made sure that everyone was having a good time. I would change the comedy experience to the free one at the Stags Head. And having the accodamtion so far from UCD made hanging out with the June and July interns hard which was inconvenient once so many May interns left. My internship placement was absolutely perfect! My company let me really get involved and I had many things published on clients sites which was cool to see. I learned so much about PR through this program. This summer was incredible thanks to the intern group and our coordinators, Iolanda and Katie!
More than ever was expected
July 12, 2017by: Tyler Moehlman - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I came in with zero expectations about interning in Hong Kong. I actually chose to go to Hong Kong during my first phone call with The Intern Group just because it sounded appealing. The Intern Group placed me in a company that exceeded any thoughts about the experience I was going to have. My company was perfect for my personality and stage in my career. Am forever grateful for the experience that The Intern Group facilitated for me.
Best experience of my life, Tommy is the GOAT
July 08, 2017by: Nick Albin - United StatesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My "leader" was tommy. Tommy did a fantastic job of being there for me whenever and for whatever I needed. He would answer any questions I had quickly and would give me many many ideas of things to do and places to see. He was someone I could ask anything and he would know the answer. He was very professional and made sure I were learning, but was also a great friend and someone I enjoyed hanging out with and spending time with. Overall tommy exceeded expectations drastically and would recommend him and the program to any and everyone in the future!
Dublin - my new home.
July 07, 2017by: Natalie - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
Newly 18, unsure of where my life could take me, and a whole gap year waiting ahead. I had a million different ideas of how i wanted to spend it and only so many months to cram it all in. I wanted to work, travel, socialize and go on crazy instagram-worthy adventures. And most importantly, i wanted to become independent. I can't thank the Dublin Intern Group program enough for allowing me to do it all. My internship was incredible, amazing bosses, amazing colleagues, amazing environment. We even had a tag rugby work team that played against other companies. Even though rugby is definitely not my strong suit, i had so much fun running around like a maniac with people i now look at as my close friends. In the office, there was no grabbing coffee or stapling papers. It was always interactive and insightful tasks, social events and even driving to meetings with my boss in his super cool convertible BMW. I even got to meet the prime minister, the minister of health and multiple other politicians. You know you've done something right when he takes your hand and personally starts introducing you to everyone. Not going to lie, i felt like a bawse. We even joked about becoming beach hippies and drop topping in LA (where i'm from), Enda Kenny you are a beast. Looking back, there are so many qualities and lessons that i had gained from working with that NGO that i can now bring to university and aid my success. On top of all that, the meetups organized outside of work by The Intern Group were so diverse and fun that you were never bored, from comedy nights to taking day trips across the country to the most beautiful natural landscapes like the cliffs of Moher. Wining, dining, laughing and wooing to our hearts content at drag shows, these were some of the best moments of my trip, and i got to share it with interns who are now friends for life. Not to mention, Dublin is only a cheap plane ride away from the rest of Europe. An intern and i casually decided to take a long weekend trip to Belgium 2 days in advance and get fappy (fat and happy) over waffles and chocolate. Crazy i know, but thats the beauty of interning in Dublin. I owe all of this to two incredible, talented, hard-working girls who run the Dublin program and made this all possible. Katie and Iolanda, you have continued to amaze me with all the fun meetups you organize and the amount of effort you put into making my experience the best it can be. I could write a whole review just on how much you girls have done for me and how much i love you. But all i'm going to say is, i think of you like my sisters and its because of you that i can't wait to book my next tickets back to Dublin. 4 months was not long enough. For all of you considering this program, with all my confidence i can say you will not regret it.
My experience in NYC
July 01, 2017by: DaniloProgram: Internships in New York
The experience in general was great. Work placement was the best part: company and colleagues were great. The support provided by TIG is essential and in specific, Brian was always available for any kind of request. I strongly recommend this program.
8 weeks intern at New York
June 30, 2017by: eell_04 - CanadaProgram: Internships in New York
I was working with a political consulting firm during in my time at NYC. It's been an amazing experience. I have really involved into New York City's political world by attending variety of fundraiser events for NGOs and council members. I also attended staff meeting and a community meeting of a city labour union which provided with great opportunities of knowing the internal structure of labour unions. Additionally, the entire process of applying this internship with the intern group is quite straightforward. They are great people that are always there for help. Overall it was a unforgettable experience and I centainly will come back to work in the city in the future.
Best decision ever!
June 30, 2017by: Nelleke - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
I honestly cannot think of anything I would've wanted to go differently or would've changed about my experience with the Intern Group. There was only about a week between the moment I realized I wanted to pursue an internship in the States and my "Acceptance Email" into the program. Everyone on the Intern Group was (and is!) highly professional and supportive throughout the entire journey, from setting up interviews with potential employers to arranging your visa and healthcare plan. I honestly could not be happier with the company I got placed with; I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and skills, got comfortable working in a different work environment and with people from all different kinds of nationalities, had opportunities to expand my network and build valuable relationships for my future endeavors, and all that in a relatively short period of time. I do not think I would've been able to find an internship like this without the help of the Intern Group; it even led me to an extended position with my company!
Exploration of the Green Isle
June 30, 2017by: Luna RamirezProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I have to say that traveling alone to a country I've never been to and joining the work force was very scary for me at first. However, once I arrived and met with my program coordinators I knew I was going to be alright. I couldn't have asked for a better placement or a better group of individuals to share my journey with out here in Dublin. The people in this program really care about your time here and want you to take advantage of every sight you can see and thing you can do. I can't wait to come back to Dublin and see everyone from the program again.
Good internship experience
June 29, 2017by: JulieI worked in a makeup company and have a wonderful working experience in there. The company is really friendly and the intern group is helpful for my whole internship experience. I enjoy the time and experience in there and recommend it.
Great time!
June 28, 2017by: interninnyc - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Such an amazing opportunity to live and work in NYC. The placement process was simple, the first few companies I interviewed with were not quite what I was looking for but after clarifying what I was after I was placed in an amazing company, which I loved! There were activities provided around the city every weekend as well as career development talks. Brian and Julia always did their best to accommodate all the interns on these trips and we always had a great time. It was really easy to make friends with the other interns and we always went out to eat and to make the most of all that NYC nightlife has to offer, which was always amazing. All in all an unforgettable time- would definitely recommend it if you can afford it. Experience in NYC will stand out on any resume/ CV.
Melbourne internship
June 23, 2017by: Sam - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
A great experience giving you the opportunity to explore Australia whilst enhancing your CV. The Intern Group make sure you hit the ground running by introducing you to the other interns and having social events. Working in Melbourne is also a fantastic experience. A very relaxed environment but you still work hard and get thrown into the deep end, which is how you learn I suppose. The accommodation is a little expensive for what you get, but the people you meet and the things you get to do totally outweigh any negatives. My advice to anyone who is considering to do an internship is to just do it, you wont regret it. Yes it is expensive but when you look back you remember the great memories and experiences not how much you paid.
The Dublin experience
June 19, 2017by: Samantha Matthews - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
"You are one decision away from a totally different life." - Mark Batterson My internship experience has made me a completely different person, and I am better for it. The entire application process was straightforward and easy to complete. The intern group placed me in a fantastic company, and i was able to obtain invaluable skills and experience. The housing allowed me to live like a local in Dublin and truly experience the Irish culture and charm. The staff from the Intern group made me feel like family from the moment I stepped off the plane. When I chose to use to the Intern Group I had no idea the impact it would have on my life, but now I could not imagine my life without them. If you want an amazing and life changing experience tailor made for you, then the Intern Group is what you are looking for.
My New York experience
June 16, 2017by: Harvir SinghProgram: Internships in New York
This was my first time visiting New York and going abroad working in New York is the best way to really get to know the big apple! I saw the website some time ago and to be honest i was skeptical at first because i wasn't sure if this was legit. I went through the interview process and then i got bombarded with people from the interngroup trying the set up an internship for me. I always thought that there was a chance that all this could be a cam of some sort and i wouldn't find out until i got to New York. BUT saying that when i did arrive everything was great and it wasn't a scam and all my worries disappeared. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience that you can't miss out on! quite bit on money is involved yes...but it was worth every penny! I really enjoyed my internship thanks to the interngroup finding me a good placement. I know there was a few people in the group that didn't enjoy their internship and had to change however, NO-ONE regretted about the overall experience in New York. Brian Limbo and Julia are the coordinators and they showed us New York on planned trips with the rest of the interns, without them i wouldn't of met anyone. They are also native New Yorkers and they always gave us advice on where to go and what events are on around NYC. Now i am still working for the company in NY from home and also might lead to a job in the future. I would recommend doing this internship program for anyone sitting on the fence about working abroad. Peace!
Successful internship/experience for the books
June 14, 2017by: Jakob Leichtman - United StatesMy internship experience is a bit different because I'm still at university back home in the United States. I attend Northeastern University and I'm currently on "Co-Op" which is basically a work study rather than taking a traditional semester of classes. This internship counts towards that. Last year I was teaching in Peru for my first co-op and this time around I'm in London working in the government and politics sector. The Intern Group was very helpful and accommodating to any and all of my questions. They were with me during the whole process. When I arrived in London, they helped me settle in efficiently and took me a on tour (even though this was my third time being in London). Throughout my time spent here, they were there to answer and questions I had and made sure everything was going well for me. They hosted tons of social events, most of which I attended, which is where I've met some of my closest friends. Overall, I've very pleased that I chose to go through with this organization and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything else.
The perfect internship and vacation experts
June 14, 2017by: Trena Jenifer - LondonThis is a wonderful program that mixes fun, travel and work, delivers their promise on an experience of a lifetime. If you're like me, looking for hands-on experiences to pile up on the cv and to satisfy the guilty traveller in you at the same time, this is your one stop to be an employee by day and a tourist by night.
Life changing
June 12, 2017by: Nikki Drewett - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
My experience in New York with the Intern Group was brilliant. From the day I applied to my last day in the City I was well looked after and had excellent support. Before arriving in the City, I had great support with my Visa Process which at times was confusing and would have found it much harder without the Intern Group guiding me through each step. I had constant check ups through email and phone calls making sure I was on track with everything and was doing ok. It was great to have the Intern group organise my accommodation and Airport transfers for me, it took a lot of stress off of me and enabled to me to focus on other things. It was reassuring that I would be living in the same building as other interns also. I arrived on the Saturday and on the Sunday I met up with Brian (Experience Coordinator) who briefed me through everything I would need throughout my stay, including Metro cards which was a huge plus! Every Saturday there would be an event for all the interns which was a change to get to know each other and have fun! We would go to all the attractions such as Top Of The Rock, 9/11 Memorial, Boat Trips, Statue of liberty and many more. It was nice to have something planned for every weekend. All the interns were very close and would always get together and make plans during the week to go for dinner or plan events like a broadway show or whatever event was happening that night (as there was always something!) Personally my internship was amazing. While the Intern group were searching for an internship for me, I did turn down one Interview opportunity they had found for me as it didn't sound like something I was into. They understood completely and carried on searching until they found the perfect company for me. I learnt so much from my Internship and am so grateful for such a great placement. I know for sure it will benefit me greatly now being back in London and searching for a Job. Overall my experience with the internship was painless and made as easy for me as possible. Best thing I have ever done and would recommend it greatly to anyone who was thinking of going for it.
Life changing experience!!
June 05, 2017by: Samantha - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
With the help of the Intern Group, I was able to find an international internship that helped me to grow in my career and also allowed time to enjoy the new culture I was living in. The work-life balance encouraged by the Intern Group was especially important. They organized countless activities and made sure all of the student interns had a chance to connect. I would recommend this program to anyone who's looking for their next challenging adventure!
Perfect balance of work and fun
June 02, 2017by: Cody benck - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
The internship was great, the administration from the intern group was fast, responsive and reliable. Made the whole trip hassle free, which gives you more time and freedom to explore the city and focus on work. The activities on the weekends with the other interns were always interesting and fun
An unforgettable experience which I would repeat in a second
May 26, 2017by: Roxanne Dean - NewcastleAfter having read many inspiring articles online about the recent development of Medellín, I was convinced I had to go there and experience the city for myself. I could not have asked for a better experience with The Intern Group and I cannot praise them more. From pre arrival to living in the city, the team truly go out of their way to make the experience the best they can. The social events which they arrange are a great way for you to meet fellow interns from around the world and make friends for life, which I certainly did. I shared a flat with 3 others interns from around the world which was a great social experience! I interned at a business incubator within the city which gave me the opportunity to work alongside many innovative start ups in a true Colombian environment. At first I didn't feel like I had a huge amount of responsibility so I mentioned this to my boss and she quickly gave me projects to work on. The amount of responsibility was very varied across different internships- some people I spoke to would be there past 6pm many nights, whereas others more or less came and left as they please. You really do get out what you put in. Although you may be slightly reluctant to pay for work, The Intern Group really does find you quality internships which will help build your CV. As they say, you have to spend money to make money. I fell in love with Colombia and that wouldn't have been possible without The Intern Group. Continue doing what you're doing.
Worked hard, played hard, and earned a job at the end of it.
May 26, 2017by: SM - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
My experience with the Intern Group was overwhelmingly positive. There were ups and downs, but mostly ups. I felt the team truly wanted me to succeed, and with their help, I did. I found the Intern Group when I was about a year out of university and stuck in a rut. I had a good degree but was struggling to get my foot in the door in any decent job in my field. But I still hesitated until the very last minute to sign up with the Intern Group, partly because my parents were convinced it was a scam (spoilers: it's not), but mostly because I come from a working class family, and internships are not really designed with people like me in mind. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: taking an unpaid internship (particularly one abroad) when you don't come from money is hard. It's really hard. I worked 3 jobs simultaneously for about 8 months prior to my start date just to pay for it, and I still didn't quite have enough. I couldn't go out with the other interns for their various outings to bars, nightclubs, etc., and ate a lot of ramen noodles. But I truly believe the Intern Group did everything in their power to help me with my financial situation, and I cannot thank them enough for it. They were patient and understanding with me, and always helped me to find solutions that would work. My placement itself was not exactly what I was looking for in terms of industry, but it has helped me to hone my skills in a lot of corresponding areas and, moreover, has lit a fire under my ass to pursue my ambitions. I am no longer in the rut and have already begun taking successful steps towards the career I want. Just having experience in NY is a big step. Even my parents, initially huge skeptics about my decision to pursue this internship, have recently commented that it's the best thing I've ever done. At the end of my 3 month internship, I was offered a permanent position with the company and am still here, almost 7 months after arriving in NY as a nervous Scot with a single suitcase and big dreams. The Intern Group keeps in touch, and helped me to get in touch with the right people to extend my visa. I cannot praise Nicholas enough for his help during the initial visa process--it is an unbelievable complicated and confusing process, but he patiently talked me through it even when the website was causing problems! One slight area for improvement that the Intern Group could make is monitoring the interns' work hours a little better. I don't think this is a problem that many interns will face (most seemed to be organizing dinners and drinks at 5.30pm night after night, while I was still at my desk past 8 many evenings after starting at 9am). I know a few fellow interns who were being forced to work far, far longer than they should have, though I know the IG staff did help with this in at least one instance. It can put interns in an uncomfortable position when their host organization is asking too much from them and don't feel they have the power to say no, so a tad more oversight could be beneficial. I also found I couldn't attend the professional development classes the IG offered because I didn't finish work until really late, so that was a shame. So yes, you'll work hard as an intern, but the Intern Group provides plenty of opportunities to have fun. I really enjoyed trips to NY's beautiful museums and art galleries in particular. The Circle Line Cruise was also fun to see the Statue of Liberty, and the Top of the Rock trip. And I really loved the opportunity to do some volunteer work at Thanksgiving--that was a unique and exciting opportunity. Brian was always friendly and made me feel very welcome. Andy, who leads the program and conducted the welcome meet with me, was also very friendly, as was every other staff member I interacted with. (Side note: they also sent a car to pick me up at the airport which was great because I had a very long day of travelling and was really nervous!) As I mentioned previously, the interns hung out together a lot in other capacities (dinner, drinks, concerts, etc) so the social aspect is probably really great for a lot of people, but since I couldn't afford to go with them, I didn't really get to know any of the other interns. Instead, I made my own band of friends outside of work and interns, and we've become very close. They were one of the reasons I chose to stay in NY at the end of my internship, and I thank the Intern Group for giving me the opportunity to come out here and meet so many great people. The last thing to mention is the accommodation. It's fine. That's really all there is to it. I've seen some people whining about it, but I really don't know what palace they expected to find in NY! I liked that I had a little private room (even though the view from the window was a brick wall!), and while the communal bathroom took a little getting used to, it was not a problem. The one area I generally avoided was the kitchen because it was often dirty and full of roaches, but that was the fault of the dirty people who didn't do dishes, and not the Intern Group or even really the staff in the building. Some of the 92Y staff were a little rude (like the woman who rudely woke me up at 7am on the day I was moving out to find out why I was still there, despite move out time being noon...) but overall they were fine. The only real problem I had was not being sent the welcome email until my third month in the building (it contained info I could have used at the start!) and then being badgered by the building's staff about not attending an induction thing that I had never once been told about (hence why I needed the intro email). But again, this was not the fault of the Intern Group. Overall, the pros far outweighed the cons for me. The Intern Group was helpful and considerate, and the opportunity they gave me has allowed me to continue working in NY and experience a lot of new and exciting opportunities. It is not free, but the best things in life rarely are. While it was very difficult for me to do, I would do it again.
Learn and have fun

The team at intern Madrid is amazing. They are organized, prompt, and help make Madrid feel like home. I left feeling 100% satisfied with my experience and would love to do it all over again. I recommend this program to anyone. If you put in the effort, you are going to meet many people and learn so much about business and culture.
Investment banking internship in Madrid
April 23, 2017by: Marwan - EnglandProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience in Madrid was brilliant. I spent three months there and it was one the most interesting experiences I have ever had. There always something new to see or to visit in this amazing city and the Intern group team was always there to help and make us discover new places. As a finance graduate, I interned in an Investment Banking firm, and everyone at work was very helpful. I was given the opportunity to work on several parts on M&A projects, and learn many soft and technical skills. The experience was really valuable and I honestly believe it will help in my future career. But the programme is not only about the work experience, it is also about discovering a new city, and make new friends. Both of those were fulfilled, the first one through all the events organized by the Intern group, such as a visit to Toledo, or the Santiago Bernabeu tour (which is an amazing thing for every football fan). The second point was fulfilled because of the other programme participants, as they came from very different countries and backgrounds. I would say this was a life changing experience, and I definitely recommend it!
Amazing experience
April 22, 2017by: Miguel - MexicoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Madrid is an amazing city, there is always something different to do. The most valuable thing about it is the people, most of them are polite and they always try to help you if you get any problem. I call it the American country of Europe because I really felt like at home. About my work experience, I was working in Wayra, the Telefónica's startup accelerator. Basically they help entrepreneurs, they give them mentoring, talks, networking, meetings with investors, financing, and workplace (which is super inspiring). I was sitting next to the country manager and the Wayra team, that made me feel part of them. What I enjoyed the most were the peer reviews, meetings between the startups where they share ideas, opportunities and point of views (about their weakness and strengths). I learnt a lot with them and about them, I made a lot of good friends and some of them are the CEO`s. The work place was very multicultural, I met people from Spain, USA, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Germany, France, Egypt, Italy and México. This internship helped me to improve my business, I realized about a lot of mistakes that I was making. The intern group team was very kind, they were like my familia madrileña, they were always there to support me and to ensure that my experience is one that I would never forget. They organised social events throughout my stay; at these events I met the other interns, those guys made me enjoy Madrid more besides now I have a lot of friends around the world. I can´t wait to go back!

Amazing time in Madrid - professionally & personally
April 19, 2017by: Hannes - BelgiumProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The Intern Group did an amazing job selecting a suitable internship for me. I studied Biochemistry & Biotechnology where I focused on agriculture and plant biotechnology. The Intern Group managed to place me in a specific company that exactly fitted and matched my study field and interests. Not only did I gain a lot of experience on a professional level, but also on a personal level I gained a lot of confidence and managed to be more independent. I applied to do the internship for the longest period possible (6 months) and at the start I was a bit worried that it would be difficult to make friends. When I look back at it, I can honestly say there was nothing to worry about. The Intern Group organises a lot of events where you get to know a lot of new people. Everyone I met was very open-minded and are open to meet new people and make friends. Now I can even say that I made lifetime friends in all continents of the world! The social aspect of the experience made the experience totally amazing. If you are hesitating to apply for the program, I can only give one advice: just do it!
My experience with Intern Group- a special one ;)
April 18, 2017by: Anushree - GermanyProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with The Intern Group started with an interesting note and ended up with an even more fantastic experience. I was fortunate to receive the Women Empowerment Scholarship 2016 and hence I did a six week internship in Madrid. I worked in the area of Social Entrepreneurship in Ashoka. Ashoka is an international organization that promotes social entrepreneurship by affiliating individual social entrepreneurs into the Ashoka organization. I wish to become a social entrepreneur in recent future, where I could be a change for eradicating poverty within the community I grew up. I am thankful to the Intern Group for finding me the perfect match in my professional carrier. During my work with the department of media and communication, and assisting in the Changemaker Education project, I learned about many thrilled persons and their inspiring stories who brought changes in their community. Through the life experiences of certain Ashoka fellows I could read about how gender integration can boost entrepreneurial solutions to poverty. From Ashoka, I aspire to carry these notions back with me along with another idea that I learnt here, it says "If you dream to change the world, you should have the humility to see the world as it is and have the audacity to imagine the world as it could be." Now coming to the social life, and if you are in Spain, you got to follow the idea of "work hard and party harder" and The Intern Group makes sure you get the best of both. Whether its about the best Spanish cuisine in town, Flamenco show, Salsa workshops or the best pub crawl offers in town, you will get it all. Apart from this, my favourite time in Madrid was living at Calle Orense with my flatmates who turned out to be amazing life long friends. I would totally recommend this experience, whether you wish to travel to a new country, make friends or build up a strong professional network from all over the world, it is worth having this experience.
Great experience
April 12, 2017by: Amira - EnglandProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I spent 10 weeks in Madrid, and it was a life-changing experience. The internship aspect was great, as it boosted my CV, and it was in a field that I really want to go into (solar energy). But what made it special was the social aspect. I met amazing people in Madrid and made lifelong friends. Madrid is a cultural, safe city and I would recommend the intern group experience 100%. The program co-ordinator Lalita, is always on hand to help. And Irene plans social events every week so there is always something to do. Don't hesitate, just do it!
Health research intern
April 12, 2017by: Celeste de Peiza - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had a fantastic experience in Ireland thanks to the efforts of the people at the Intern Group and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. The program coordinators, at the Intern Group, were beyond helpful in finding an internship opportunity tailored to my preferences. They also organized several social and cultural events to ensure that I got the true Irish experience, rain or shine. The staff at Cystic Fibrosis Ireland were incredibly kind and willing to include you in all aspects of their work. In the mere 6 weeks I spent with them, I got the opportunity to publish a paper, compose a poster, attend a conference and a gala, assist with a TD (minister) photo-shoot, participate in awareness week, visit the CF clinics all over the country funded by CFI, meet patients, and shadow doctors and researchers. It was a good craic and I wish I could've stayed longer.
Aussie moment
April 09, 2017by: Paula Tibau - BrazilProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I can't describe how time flies when we feel that we are doing what we love, on the right place, with people that embrace us with good energy and vibes. Melbourne showed me that I could travel to the other part of the world to work and still feel that I belong to much more than one place and it only happened because I received a lot of help from the Intern Group. I perceived that I belong to wherever I feel comfortable on being myself. This unbelievable and amazing city is capable of multiple surprises and feelings on one single day starting from the contact to the friendly culture, the multinational environment and stunning sunsets that definitely made me feel part of it... To sum up, there's not a single explanation for the fact that every single human being fall in love with this place. As an example, my last day was one of these days that I woke up feeling blessed to have been given this opportunity to boom my career path, get to know the Australian professional life but, at the same time, discover all culture and wonders that the city offers. And this feeling of being grateful increases inside me everyday simultaneously to the ill to stay here forever... If you are reading this while packing to come or thinking about this chance, my only hint for you is: once you get hooked to straya you ain't no going back

Great experience program
April 08, 2017by: Gabriel - ChileProgram: International Internships in Madrid
When you arrive in Madrid there is a person waiting for you to give you a folder with the apartment keys and take you directly to the apartment. The facilities of the apartment were quite good, central and safe. The relationship with my roommates and the atmosphere that is generated is great. Then in the workplace depends a lot on your own skills and the seriousness with which each one takes the work, anyway Lalita is available to advise you on any doubts that may arise. Another important point is the work of Irene who at all times is pending of the group, creating panoramas to know of Madrid and surroundings, with a great patience and very available to help 100%. If you take this program will give you growth, it is a safe program in which Lalita and Irene are all the time pending your security. Without a doubt It is an experience that would return
A wonderful experience that will boost my career
April 05, 2017by: Mario - ChinaProgram: Internships in New York
It's a great experience to work in New York and enjoy life like a native person. The internship opened my way to my next step quite easily. Overall the experience is enjoyable and useful. In terms of my internship, I really enjoy working with my colleagues, who are both friendly and supportive. I appreciate that INY helped me find the company. As for social life, each week we have excellent activities. From museums to fun places, we are like a family and we are very happy to hang out with each other.
New York internship
April 05, 2017by: Alexandra McDermott - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
I thoroughly enjoyed my whole internship and only wished that Id agreed to a longer period of time. Initially I was feeling quite home sick and Brian did a really good job at making me feel welcomed at my orientation breakfast and introducing me to the other interns that came along to the breakfast. I really enjoyed the regular Saturday events that were organised and socialising with other interns. Brian was always so lovely and had such a high level of enthusiasm and excitement for each event even though he'd done all several times. Unfortunately I fell badly sick with the flu around my second week of being in New York and was unable to do much for myself at that time. Amy was amazing and came over to 92Y and assisted and helped me go to the doctors. After accompanying me back to my accommodation Amy then went and picked up my medication and a few groceries to keep me going. I'm so grateful and appreciative for what Amy did, I don't know what I would have done without her! A few days later Brian popped by to see how I was going and brought me a few more groceries to keep me going. I started to really settle into work and feel at home after my third week. I really enjoyed my daily routine of going into work and seeing the team in the office every day. Everyone was really nice from day one and made me feel very welcome. I appreciated that I was assigned a diverse combination of tasks at my work place so that I did get a taste of everything in the short time that I was interning. Its crazy to think that I nearly didn't apply for this because it was too out of my comfort zone but its been one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever done! I wish I could go back and do it all again!!
Valuable insight into Colombian culture and my own Strengths and Abilities through Work Experience
April 03, 2017by: Kristine de Bever - AustraliaI spent a total of four months interning with the Under Secretary of Tourism in Medellín, Colombia, thanks to the Intern Group. I have had a truly fantastic time and can honestly say that these months contributed more to my personal and professional development than I ever expected. During my time in Medellín I was introduced to the realities and complexities of working in a government office, as well as the challenges the city and the country face having a tourism sector that is rapidly growing and evolving. I was included in important events and got the opportunity to build on the skills I came with while gaining new knowledge that I can take on board for my future career. The Intern Group provides a solid, supportive environment where you are placed in comfortable accommodation, and you have a social network right away. Other than giving you your new 'home' and contact with the other interns, the Intern Group is strongly involved in your professional development, providing regular workshops with people who have valuable knowledge to share with people who are starting their career - during my time I got to listen to and talk one on one with a Colombian economist and specialist in personal branding. Overall, a wonderful experience that I will cherish and has given me more than I expected!
An awesome life experience :)
April 01, 2017by: Hannah - EnglandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I decided to intern abroad as I had been stuck in an entry level job that I hated for two years and needed a change. I graduated a while ago so wanted something that would boost my CV and give me a complete change as well and this certainly did! I did 10 weeks at a Social Media agency and I really enjoyed my internship, the people were lovely and I could see myself working in that industry when I return home so that was definitely a positive experience! Melbourne itself is a lovely city and there is so much to visit and see in the city and surrounding areas. The included events from the Intern Group are a great addition to the program and they give you a great experience of Aussie life and some of the attractions around Melbourne. As well as these and trips like the great ocean road and Philip Island, I went to Tasmania and Cairns which were both amazing and reasonable distances from Melbourne so I feel like I made the most of weekends. One thing that really let the program down is the accommodation. most people on here talk about Bell being bad, my group were in the Bell complex but we were all moved into 'the lodge' which was a house with 16 double rooms, shared bathrooms, a tiny kitchen and a living/dining area. We weren't given much information on this before arrival, most of us were expecting the en suite rooms at Bell. I hated the lodge. The introduction of this place to the programme could have been handled so much better. The place wasn't very clean, we weren't provided with essentials and the staff at Bell were so unhelpful and the student liaison in particular was incredibly rude the whole time I was staying there. We had so many problems such as rats and cockroaches, the place wasn't that messy considering there were 16 people in a tiny kitchen and we were told by staff we weren't their main concern. I was also upstairs and there was no air con and in the summer months the heat is unbearable, a fan didn't help one bit and I couldn't sleep very well. I think the intern group could have kitted the place out so much better for us if they had just invested a bit of time and effort and I was and still am disappointed with how a lot of the problems were handled by Bell and the Intern Group staff. I have included a few pictures of some of the facilities in the lodge as they aren't on the intern group website at the moment. The only good thing about the lodge is that the interns are all living together and it was a good way to make friends. I met some lovely people on the intern group program and that is one of the best things about the program. We were all in the same boat and all got on really well. It was great even from the first few days you bond with the people you arrive with and it makes it so much easier to be so far away from home. Overall I really enjoyed the program and have no regrets doing it, Melbourne is an amazing city and my internship was great, I am just not sure how there could be so many communication problems with the intern group now its been running a few years. I would also make sure if you decide to do the program that you are specific in the internship you want to do and don't feel rushed into accepting something that may not be for you. I had an offer before my internship and was not sure whether to take it or not and deciding to decline it I got a much more relevant offer. Just be sure of what you want to get out of the experience and it will be easier for them to place you with the right company!
Great trip! Great friends!

Intern Group Madrid was such an amazing experience-- developing my life both socially and professionally. My work placement was wonderful, everyone was really friendly, spoke English and worked hard to help me develop my marketing skills. I loved getting to know and meet all of the other interns-- they became my closest friends! I still continue to travel and visit the friends I made and meet up with my former Madrid roommate :)
Intern New York
March 28, 2017by: VDP - BrazilProgram: Internships in New York
Great experience, cultural and as a work experience, delivered by a professional and helpful team. Every one at Intern New York was very helpful to make all interns get a full experience out of it, from the VISA process to all cultural activities.
A dream come true!
March 24, 2017by: Juliet Watkin-Rees - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
Thanks to the Intern Group, I was able to fulfil a lifelong dream of working in New York. I was struggling to find the right American College placement for studying abroad with my university, so I decided to look for other options. The Intern Group New York seemed too good to be true when I found it on Google during my search, but more than lived up to my high expectations. I started my application in late February 2016. 13 months later, I can easily say it was the best decision I could have made for my career, personal development and world experience. In July, I was placed in the New York office of iris Worldwide after a few telephone/ skype interviews with other businesses to find the right fit. iris New York are a creative agency in the marketing industry based in Soho, Manhattan. Their vibrant culture and prestigious clients made it the perfect place to work for 6 months, so I couldn’t have been more excited to get started. Andy and Amy at the Intern Group took the time to really understand my wants and needs in order to find the right placement. After a slight rearrangement of my September start date and sorting out my visa, which ultimately went smoothly with the help of the Intern Group, I headed out to NYC. The Intern Group arrange travel from the airport and you are taken directly to your accommodation – for me, the 92Y Residence. 92Y is an extremely safe, functional halls in the Upper East Side. I have to admit the initial shock of the basic room and kitchen facilities were a little disappointing on arrival - not as homely as UK student residences or as glamorous as Gossip Girl portrays the Upper East Side. However, you do come to realise this is the reality of Manhattan (with many people priced out so living in the other Boroughs and less at the centre of the action) and it is very reassuring to be in a building surrounded by young people, including many placed by the Intern Group. It is a great location for access to midtown/downtown Manhattan on the subway and to have Central Park only 4 blocks away is quite amazing. It was so reassuring to have 24 hour security at the front desk. Brian is the heart of the Intern Group and after meeting him on the Sunday along with a few other interns I felt such relief to have a wonderful support group which was constantly active on a WhatsApp 'Intern NY Family' group. It is amazing how quickly you bond with the others using the agency and this is established through Saturday trips to points of interest and other social events suggested by the interns themselves. This is something that will develop more as Intern NY continues to grow, being only a year and a bit old. One highlight was a bike tour around Central Park which was the perfect way to find out more about the city as well as being great fun. You can easily dip in and out of these Saturday events, but they are a good way to make friends, especially if you are in New York for a prolonged time and see many interns come and go. I had the best time working for iris Worldwide and have made connections that will last me my career. Having a full 6 months, I became far more than an intern and felt a true member of the staff. My intern role shaped into an Assistant Account Executive position within the Account team and allowed me to explore all other aspects of the marketing world of strategy, creative and production. My colleagues were extremely welcoming and were so focused on encouraging me and providing me with the best opportunities. I was very lucky to have an amazing mentor who guided me throughout my entire process - Allison provided me with constant feedback, inspiration as well as making my internship wonderfully fun. My CV was extremely limited prior to this opportunity and now I feel empowered to apply for highly competitive entry-level marketing roles after university. Six months of focussed development has allowed me to learn many transferrable skills together with the experience and confidence that comes with working on well-known worldwide brands. I also experienced an active, exciting office environment and got involved with internal cultural initiatives such as Smile Squad. I absolutely loved heading to work everyday and have had such insight into the industry I would like to work in after I graduate. My experience was made by the incredible, endless amount of things to do in New York. Every weekend I had an exciting plan to explore, experience and love NYC even more. This included going to the Global Citizenship Festival (a huge fund raising concert in Central Park) my second weekend, a trip to the Hamptons with other interns, a basketball game, going Skiing, SantaCon, jazz clubs, Broadway shows, delicious dinners, stunning skyscrapers and picturesque rooftop bars. My absolute best day was attending the Women's March along with an est. 400,000 other New Yorkers, the weekend after the Presidential inauguration! It was amazing to see the city in such unity, singing and marching for one cause after a time of much political turmoil and discomfort. The other Intern Group interns provided me with incredible friendships that allowed me to enjoy the city with some fabulous new friends who I will keep in touch with for many years to come. We bonded over the insane experience we were having and all knew how lucky we were to be in such an exciting city. I would seriously recommend The Intern Group as a much needed foundation for those who would like to intern in New York City. The Intern Group gives you an absolute headstart and takes away the stress of having to find somewhere to live & work, difficult visa processes and most importantly finding friends. The 'family' title of the WhatsApp group is extremely appropriate and it is so reassuring to know if you are in trouble/need help/feel unwell you have the help of Andy, Amy, Kathryn, Brian & the rest of the team. I have loved getting to know the Intern New York team and it has been fantastic seeing their response to feedback and I think the program is nearing its amazing potential.

In the upside - down land
March 20, 2017by: Chiara - ItalyProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I was thinking of the right words to start, it can be hard to write down all the emotions felt in a few months. Eventually I realised that the best way to express those feelings is by saying that I'm still in Melbourne, not ready to go home. I got the chance to do my internship in Earthwatch Institute, an environmental international NGO. I had never worked in this industry before and I didn't know what to expect: at the end of my three months I can say that this experience has help me figure out what I really want to do about my future career.
Marketing internship
March 19, 2017by: Daniela Piedrahita - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My experience with the Intern Group in Australia was really good. I enjoyed my time in the city more than I expected. People in Melbourne are incredibly open and friendly. My work experience was good, I worked for a small technology start-up, it was interesting getting to experience how companies are created, but I wish I have had more work responsibilities in my main area of interest (marketing), as my role wasn't really specific and mainly administrative / research related. My team was friendly, but lack a bit of gender equality, as I was the only female at the office. The accommodation was not good. The lack of cleaning was a major concern for me. They were supposed to clean my room every fourth night (which to begin with is way too much time) but didn't even do that, so I had to constantly go to reception and ask for my room to be cleaned, which sometimes helped, but some others I was just ignored. All of the social gatherings and events were amazing, I truly felt like a local and was able to experience some of Melbourne's nicest restaurants/ bars/places of interest. As well as meet lots of people, and get to make friends for life. Overall I had a really good experience and would recommend doing the program, but I would suggest finding another accommodation options, as the place provided is extremely expensive and not good enough.
Awesome experience
March 15, 2017by: Patrick Bissell - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Interning in Madrid was not only great for my CV but also an awesome social and cultural experience. Madrid is a beautiful, safe city with plenty to see and the Intern group made living easy, safe and undaunting. The apartments were nice and in safe areas plus you get to share with other interns of similar age and interests. There is a great team behind the Intern group who are always there to help and can be contacted through email or facebook. Lalita is thoughtful and willing to talk whenever there is a problem and Irene, who runs the social events, is lovely and always keen to show the interns around and provide fun outings. The best way to see Madrid is with a local and Irene is great. Overall the experience was great and I would love to do it again, definitely worth thinking about if you want a culturally unique few months coupled with a professional internship.
Not just a memorable career milestone, but a valuable life experience!
March 08, 2017by: Arianne C ZProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Choosing to do an internship through The Intern Group in Madrid would be a choice I will never regret. The amount of lessons and experience you get through an international internship cannot be learnt by simply going to uni. It was an enjoyable challenge that was highly enjoyable, and would recommend to ANYONE who wants to travel, work and experience something different! I would especially recommend acquiring an international internship through The Intern Group, as they offer the best service and sort through the various internships to offer ones to you that are to your preferences. The team at Intern Madrid are all genuinely caring professionals who do their job VERY well. They had placed me in a Content Marketing Internship which I enjoyed every single day, and had offered accommodation and social events that allowed me to soak in the Madrileño and Spanish culture. My internship was at a start-up called Kuorum.Org where I was given the oportunity to learn more about my discipline, as well as dabble in other areas of the business that I was interested in. The workplace was creative and modern, and the location was perfect! (Five minutes walk from my apartment). Doing my internship here will always have a big impact on my CV. As for my accommodation, I was located right in the heart of Madrid and was 5-10 minutes walk from everything. I can only hold Intern Madrid responsible for the excellent accommodation scouting. They make sure to always provide quality housing for the Interns and attend to any complaints or queries about your accommodation right away. The social events were exactly what I wanted - times where I want to know more about Spanish culture, but at the same time get to hang out with other interns. From a Flamenco Dinner, to a day trip in Toledo, events are always thoughtfully planned out for anyone in The Intern Group family. All in all, it was a 10/10 experience that I reaped countless rewards from. Not only did I get a multitude of career wisdom from it, but a lot of life lessons too. As a young person, living independently in a city that has a drastically different culture, this was the best place to shape and enhance my character! The Intern Group is definitely the way to go, so if you haven't, make your way to apply!
Thank you The Intern Group!!

Engineering internship abroad
February 27, 2017by: Louis Stanley - SpainProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Choosing to Intern Abroad in Madrid Spain as an Engineer, was a decision that I feel was a step forward to the future of my Professional career in the Engineering field. With being a recent graduate from a University in the United States and feeling the need for more experience to enter the work force this was the perfect solution. My internship in Madrid Spain provided me with amazing experience pertaining to the Engineering field from becoming efficient in simulation software, to being able to work on solving engineering issues affiliated with well known companies in Industry.
The most incredible time, with the most incredible people!!!
February 19, 2017by: Curtis - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
I am just about to finish my 6 month Internship at a law firm specialising in Judgment Enforcement. The Internship experience, provided by Intern New York has been one of the best experiences of my life. I can't thank them enough!!!! From being accepted on to the program I was quickly given CV advice. The Intern New York team then arranged a number of interviews for me, conducted via Skype. Understandably, I arrived in New York excited, but a little nervous. However, within hours I was given an orientation by the legend that is Brian. I was given a detailed introduction to the program and the Intern New York life. My Internship has provided me with the chance to learn about a foreign legal system, witness court proceedings, and interact with court staff. As well as this I have been able to serve financial institutions with legal documents, which I also prepared. The internship has helped me develop a wide variety of skills, including research, analysis, public speaking, written and oral communication as well as many others. It has been challenging at times, but to be honest, that's how it should be. The difference, however, between the Intern New York program and other programs is the social and pastoral side. They are only a phone call or a message away if we ever need them. It is a great comfort to know you have a contact who is easily reached should they be needed. The variety of activities included in the program is also great, including a boat tour, a trip to the Top of the Rock, a 9/11 tour and various museum tours. They have helped me to meet other interns from all around the globe, and make the some amazing friends for life. Special recognition however must go to Brian, the experience coordinator for Intern New York. He takes us on a wide variety of activities, including tourist activities, professional development events and volunteering activities. He also shows us some of New York that most tourists would never see. Not only that, but he genuinely cares about us and the experience we have. He's become a friend for life and is a bit the brother I never knew I had!! Another great aspect of the program is the freedom you are provided with to also explore New York on your own. I have been able to attend numerous events including AC/DC and Red Hot Chilli Peppers at Madison Square Garden, witness the US election, meet some heroes, have a go at curling, attend gig's at numerous "bucket-list" venues such as The Iridium, The Beacon Theatre, and the Blue Note, see Ice-Hockey games, play in the snow, see a slightly odd performance of Shakespeare, go to two recording of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, go to countless roof top bars, go to Atlantic City, go to The Bronx Zoo and so much more. The accommodation provided is in a great location on the Upper East Side and is close to 3 Subway stations making it easy to get to anywhere in New York City. There is always someone within the accommodation you're able to contact if needed. My advice for anyone considering doing the Intern Group New York program is just do it. You'll be supported all the way and have the most amazing time, whilst meeting amazing people. It's up to you to path out your experience, but the Intern New York team will do a great job of putting those pathways in place, and help you find your feet in one of the greatest cities in the world!



Awesome time!

5-month experience
February 13, 2017by: Karina - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
I have just completed a 5-month internship in a company called Endeavor. The placement and interview process carried out by the Intern Group was very smooth and I was always kept in the loop. My job and the people were awesome, I had loads of interesting and fun responsibilities. The Intern Group provided weekly events which were really good fun and it was a great way to make friends and get to know all the other interns! The support from the Intern Group exceeded my expectations; from the start of my application process to the end of my internship, there was continuous support from the Intern New York staff. I became unwell during my internship and both Andy and Brian went above and beyond to make sure that I was ok; I couldn’t have asked for a better support system whilst away from my family. Overall, I have had the most incredible experience in an amazing city. I have learnt such a huge amount and also had so much fun. I would definitely recommend going through the Intern Group for an international internship!
Marketing internship with Intern New York
February 12, 2017by: Anonymous - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
I'm just about to finish my 6 month internship with Intern New York and I've honestly had the best time ever! I worked for a company called Triad Interactive Media and was in a marketing role mainly carrying out research. The job was great and my boss was completely awesome! Through the intern group I've met lots of really cool people from all over the world and made friends I know I'll have for life. If you are thinking about doing an internship abroad in New York or elsewhere I would 110% advise doing this it with The Intern Group.
The life on Calle de Orense
January 31, 2017by: Jessica - AustraliaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
During my internship in Madrid, I have grown so much as a person. I've learnt invaluable skills from my work placement, and helped developed numerous personal attributes that has shaped me for the better. My living quarters were really good and the administration staff were always extremely proactive to tend to any concerns and issues I had. However, the best thing was my internship placement. I was placed in an excellent work environment with extremely supportive colleagues that have helped me improve my knowledge and lab experience in science. I leave Madrid not only as a more seasoned traveller but also having made life long friends there. I would highly recommend that people should seriously consider going with this group!
Went beyond my expectations, completely outdid itself in the most remarkable way
January 31, 2017by: Nosenzo Nyawo - South AfricaThe intern group just got itself integrated in my life from day one. Bear in mind that i got accepted to the program in May however only starting my internship in November. The whole time i would constantly get emails on tips and tricks with regards to interviews, where to visit in London and also reassurance that although South Africa will be far away by the time I get there, I was going to be alright. My job was completely in line with what I am currently studying and more. I had a lovely experience and would do it in a heart beat all over again.
Great Australian experience
January 29, 2017by: Graduate - EnglandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
This is a fantastic opportunity to visit and work in Australia. The program provided me with a very interesting internship in finance in one of the most livable cities in the world, and made it easy for me to make new friendships with people from around the world. Melbourne is a beautiful city, full of "hidden" bars and rooftops that reward exploration, and has an amazing cultural and night life. The events included in the program, which range from sporting events to wine tasting, are particularly well organized and provide some of the best experiences. Also, I had a challenging internship from which I gained valuable experience in equity research and corporate finance. The only aspect of the program that could use significant improvement is the accommodation. Not only is the location relatively far from work for most people, but also the facilities are in poor condition and the staff is generally inefficient. The good thing about the accommodation is that it makes it easier for everyone to meet and interact on a daily basis. However, many people choose to leave to areas closer to CBD after a short amount of time, as the intern group does give that option after a few weeks. Overall, it's a great experience!
A top notch experience
January 27, 2017by: Crystal Rodrigues - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My experience with Intern Australia has definitely been an adventure to say the least, and an experience I would never change for the world. This opportunity allowed me to make the career change I needed and provided me with the right skills for an industry I wanted to work in. After graduating back in 2014 and feeling like I was in a "career limbo" for 2 years, it was hard to decide what step to take next. However, finding The Intern Group online and eventually accepting my placement felt like the right decision to make...even if it meant travelling to the other side of the planet. I did an 8 week internship and half way through, I was offered an actual job with my company. I've now made the decision to make the most of my 1 year visa and I'm staying put in Melbourne till November 2017, if not longer if I can extend my visa. (Sorry mum and dad!) I'm not going to lie, it's not always smooth sailing and you will come across a few hiccups along the way; but that's part of moving abroad and it's part of the learning experience. If you ever need help, I find the best people to ask are your fellow interns, or any of us alumni interns who are still around. You not only gain work experience but you make some great pals, you have the freedom to explore a new country and you get to experience so much within such an exciting and diverse city itself. Whether it's through the planned events with The Intern Group or events and trips you plan yourself, you won't be bored during your time in Australia. I would personally recommend finding somewhere closer to the city to live rather than staying at the accommodation provided as you can find decent and often cheaper places to live nearer the CBD, and it will most likely be closer to your work placements. Nevertheless, it is a great opportunity, but it's also what you make of it. If you're thinking about applying, make sure you know exactly what you want. Even if your placement isn't within the exact field you wanted to work in, this is your internship and you'll get what you want out of it, if you make it happen for yourself too.



The Intern Group- New York City
January 20, 2017by: Mia Vicary - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
Thank you to The Intern Group for an incredible experience in New York City! From the application process through to my internship and living in New York City- 5 stars! It was more than a dream. Thank you!
Non-profit intern Madrid
January 19, 2017by: Hannah - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I really enjoyed my experience doing this. The program was very good about being flexible in terms of dates when I suddenly needed to move my dates by a couple of months. Lalita was always very helpful with everything. They set me up with a nice non-profit organization. I wish I could've done the program longer to explore more and immerse myself more. This program is really what you make it but you have the ability to meet people from all over and kind of have a built in friend group with the interns that start off with you. I highly recommend joining in on everything to get the most out of the program. I know some Spanish but it is not absolutely required to get around but it helps. But you will find yourself speaking a fair amount of both English and Spanish since the interns you're with will also most likely speak English.
Internship HK 2016/17
January 17, 2017by: Sam Osborne - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The Internship offers an amazing experience for anyone looking to experience a different culture while still having access to an international business epicentre. The intern group offered many cultural activities and Dicky (our self proclaimed guide/facilitator of fun) made the entire experience extremely enjoyable and easy. With interns from all over the globe I made some great and interesting friends. What makes HK an even better destination is the fact you are so central, you can easily take a weekend to visit the neighbouring countries (China, Cambodia, Myanmar etc..) Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, and would recommend to anyone that isn't entirely sure how to spend their holiday. Its better than just working part-time.. Get some solid international work experience and see some of the world!
Working In Spain during the holiday season
January 11, 2017by: Ryan - CanadaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
If your internship happens to run through the Christmas Holidays, don't fear! Spain has great Christmas traditions, holidays, and events to provide you with a fantastic time. To start, Spain has the most public holidays of any other country.. Therefore you will probably have some extra days to check out the city or even a day trip to one of the beautiful towns surrounding the capital! Staying in Madrid, you can splurge in the shopping area around Gran Via with all the great Christmas deals going on. The Christmas market in Plaza Mayor has many little treasures. Also don't miss out on the great culinary traditions that occur during the holiday season, including cakes;)
Amazing 3 months
January 09, 2017by: L - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
3 months working in the greatest city in the world. Making amazing friends and having the best experiences. From all the normal tourist things and thenot the things you can only experience buy working and living in the this city for so long. I can not recommended the Intern group enough.
Adventure of a lifetime
January 09, 2017by: Elena - EnglandProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Simply put, my decision to complete an internship in Hong Kong with the Intern Group after graduating from university was the best decision I ever made. From the organised and efficient application process to my amazing and ever-entertaining programme coordinators - it was a truly unforgettable experience. I was placed at a travel and technology start-up company that from the get go set me interesting tasks and exciting responsibilities. Not only did I learn valuable and transferable skills but was able to make professional connections to help my long term career. As someone who had never been to Hong Kong, I was tentative to make the move to a place I had no idea what to expect. However, after experiencing the vibrant culture, food, exploring the mountain trails, idyllic beaches and sampling the incredible nightlife, Hong Kong has easily become one of my favourite cities. Of course, what made my time even more special were the people I met, from those I worked with, to my fellow interns with whom I’ve made hilarious memories and lasting friendships. So, for anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime and the opportunity to gain work experience whilst travelling, then I not only recommend the Intern Group but actively encourage you to apply!
Can't wait to go back to New York :)
January 04, 2017by: Olivia - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
My internship was amazing, I had the opportunity to intern in DUMBO so I went to an area every day I probably wouldn't have otherwise. Interning in Brooklyn and living in Manhattan gave me the best of both worlds. I also worked with great people and learnt a lot. The Intern Group were really helpful throughout all the steps. I applied over a year before I started so I thought it would a smooth process, unfortunately the interviews I had early on were not right and my internship was confirmed until after I was supposed to start. The visa process took as long as expected and I ended up starting a month and a half after I planned. This probably worked out for the best as it gave me a chance to save more money. New York is awesome, the ease of moving around the city with the subway, and even just walking is really good. And the events organised by INY help with integrating you into the area and also give you a chance to meet the other interns. 92Y is positioned really well within the city, but it was a really undesirable place to live. My room was great but the bathroom, kitchen and laundry situation left something to be desired. Throughout the entire experience, the only thing I would have changed is where I was living, everything else was perfect.
Intern Madrid experience
December 30, 2016by: - - GreeceProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Amazing experience overall. We were a group of fourteen interns and all became really good friends. In addition, the Toledo and Bernabeu tours were one of a kind. As a city, Madrid offered numerous places to visit, both in the day and night. Hope to be back in Madrid soon.
Unforgettable experience!
December 29, 2016by: L. Marcelle - FranceProgram: Internships in New York
My internship was at an investment bank and it included a rotation around equity research, sales & trading and culminated with the last day on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, which was an unbelievable and wonderful experience! I met incredible people and expanded my network. There are so many things to do in New York; it’s the city that never sleeps! The intern group team is dedicated and very professional! All I can I say is Thank youuuuu !
Intern in NYC
December 28, 2016by: Holly Nicol - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
My internship in New York City was an absolutely amazing experience and I truly loved every minute. I interned for 16 weeks at Gossip Cop, an online website dedicated to publishing credible and factual celebrity news. The entire internship was brilliant and I had a fantastic time - and even better, I was offered a job at the end of it. What's more, Intern New York (shout out to Brian) hosted some brilliant weekend events, and we discovered some amazing little gems that we never would have found if we were only tourists. The accommodation at 92Y was in a perfect location - only a 5 minute walk from Central Park and the local subway station. The rooms were a little outdated, and could use a much needed refurb, but overall it was absolutely fine. Before I arrived in New York, however, my experience was very different. In the weeks building up to my internship, I can only remember feeling upset at how poorly organised the visa process was. CICD, the visa sponsor, were an appalling company, and after going through the motions of filling out endless forms, paying very high (and often unstated) fees, I FINALLY received my passport a mere TWO days before I was due to fly. Since I applied in October 2015 for a September 2016 start, it was absolutely ridiculous, and for that reason, I would advise future interns to be very cautious regarding the visa application. Living in NYC, though, was a dream. Thank you Intern New York for the experience of a lifetime!



Internship with NGO in NYC
December 24, 2016by: NY Intern 2016Program: Internships in New York
I did an internship for 12 weeks with an NGO based in NY and NJ, which was a great learning experience. Not only did I gain an understanding of pretty much all aspects of the daily work of an NGO, but I also got to meet many of our beneficiaries all over NYC that I would’ve never met and I got to see parts of the city that I would have never seen if I’d spend my 12 weeks here as a tourist or a student. That was an incredibly valuable experience. At the same time, thanks to the events on the weekends I also did a lot of ‘touristy’ stuff, so I feel like I have seen (at least some of) the many different ‘faces’ of the city. The Intern Group team are a very professional, friendly and helpful group of people. I had some trouble getting a visa because things didn’t really go to plan with the third-party visa-sponsoring agency. Luckily, Intern NY stepped in and guided me through the visa process without too much stress. Thank you!
Lots of ups and downs
December 23, 2016by: Abby Richardson - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My experience with the Intern Group was overall pretty great. Overall experience in Madrid was a bit more hectic and stressful-and I know that probably clouds the way I see my internship experience. But I got working experience and had a lot of great experiences with the intern group team and my fellow interns! At my workplace the space was very nice and so were all of my co-workers and my boss. If anything I just found it hard to contribute substantially to the company's efforts in such a small company without room to take on more ppl. Everything on the Intern Group side of things was great. Loved the professional workshop, the cultural event and the day trip to Toledo. And Lalita was amazing in all of her efforts to help me through my random problems throughout the experience. I don't know what I would have done without her!
Life changing experience
December 22, 2016by: Daniela - SpainProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Choosing to intern in Madrid through The Intern Group was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. As a recent graduate with little experience in my chosen field (Entrepreneurship), I felt extremely uneasy about my future. This experience helped me gain an incredible amount of knowledge and confidence that I desperately needed to continue on in professional life. There are many factors that made my time in Madrid unforgettable. The first being my fellow interns. Many of us were recent graduates and were looking for adventure as well as professional experience, thus with similar mindsets we were able to connect on many different levels. I now have long-life friendships in all different parts of the world. The second factor that made my experience incredible was my job placement. The work atmosphere in Spain is unlike anything else that I have experienced. Everyone was extremely friendly and willing to help with any doubts that I ever had. Working in a startup gave me the opportunity to learn a little bit of all of the factors that it takes to grow a business from the ground up with limited resources. I learned that it takes a lot of hard work and passion to work for a new company. Lastly, the city. Madrid offered so many activities and sights to see that I never found myself with nothing to do. It is well connected and any place is accessible through metro/bus or by foot. I definitely see myself returning to Madrid in the future. I recommend this program to anyone who is looking to improve their self-confidence, gain longtime friends, all while having fun in an amazing city.

Intern Group review
December 07, 2016by: Amar Chima - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
It was a hell of an experience, stressful organisation, but well worth it after solidifying a job in the UK office of the MyCheck the tech firm I was placed in. Great social life and great city, I look forward to returning to New York in the near future.
The best experience
December 06, 2016by: Bethany - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Intern New York were incredibly supportive throughout my internship. I became ill on the flight over and ended up having to stay in hospital for the first few days when I arrived. Upon telling Intern New York, Kathryn came straight to the hospital and stayed the night with me (sleeping on the chair next to the bed!), and Brian sorted out transport and accommodation for my Dad who was on his way over. Andy and Amy also kept in constant contact with both my parents throughout my hospital stay. Kathryn went above and beyond to ensure that I was as comfortable as possible, and visited me in hospital with flowers a couple of days later too! Both myself and my parents couldn’t thank the Intern New York team enough – you could not fault them. I completed a seven week internship in the end, and can honestly say it was my best experience yet. The accommodation was in a fantastic location, practically around the corner from Central Park and a short walk to the subway station. The building is a community centre, with great amenities and 24/7 security. Although the kitchen is shared and on the smaller side (note that pots, pans and cutlery are not provided), overall I couldn’t moan. My placement itself was also great. I was placed with a smaller law firm, but found that this meant I was given more responsibility and real work. On my first day I was drafting court documents, and felt that I was a valued part of the team instantly. I worked on a broad set of tasks, from drafting matters to organising a social media plan to drafting my own set of blogs to be published online. The seven weeks with the firm flew by, and I honestly didn’t want to leave! The Intern New York team provided social events each weekend, allowing all the interns to meet and interact with one another. These usually turned into whole day events, as the interns and Brian would continue exploring and grab food. These were well organised, and ensured that you were never at a loss with your weekend or alone. Overall you simply can’t have a bad experience in New York, it’s an amazing city and I loved every minute.
My fun time in NYC
November 28, 2016by: Tom Trafford - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
This internship has been the best experience of my life. I've met some incredible like minded people who have become friends for life. My placement with Mycheck has given me the opportunity to take part in various aspects of business and work with people from a different culture which has helped develop me in a business sense and at a personal level. Living in New York has been as good as it appears on tv and has given me so much confidence, I guess the saying if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere really is true. The best part of the internship without a doubt is the social life run by Brian the intern coordinator. The weekly Saturday adventures exploring the city a full of laughs and fun meeting new interns and hanging around with friends. These trips allow you to explore New York like a tourist without having to organise yourself to much. Overall this has been the best adventure of my life and I will be forever grateful to the intern New York program for organising such a magical time for me.
The best months in my life

Amaziiiing
November 21, 2016by: Rhouhaan - MauritiusProgram: Internships in New York
Nyc has allowed me to fit in easily. Has been home and in some way has tap into unknown part of my mind. The people, the working environment, the street art, the colourful shuttle from times square to grand central, the cultural diversification and the ease to immerse in it has been tripping at some point. Thank the Intern Group!
A great experience
November 21, 2016by: InternNewYork - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
Spending 8 weeks in NYC was a decision I am very glad I made, as doing so has taught me a lot and has definitely opened up opportunities for me. In the program, I was specifically placed to intern with a legal firm. There, I learned a great amount about the legal system in the US, as well as the firm itself. The staff of Intern New York was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process, communication was easy and I always felt welcomed. The events held every weekend through the program were a big part of getting to know the city you are in. For me, the trips we took and events attended really solidified the entire experience. Also, the professional events were very helpful, and definitely a great resource for anyone looking to move their careers forwards. The great thing about participating with the Intern Group is that you don't only learn about the city you have chosen, but also about the countries of the other interns as well. Overall, the experience was well worth it, and you also make loads of new friends along the way!
Marketing internship in New York
November 16, 2016by: Jess Schofield - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
I had a mobile marketing internship at unidos financial. The internship was fun, I managed the Facebook groups and had a final project of presenting three marketing campaign ideas which was good for my marketing experience. however I would of liked to of had more to do. The accommodation 92y has a lot to be desired - the shared bathroom and kitchen was not ideal, the rooms are not great. But it's clean and did the job. BUT, overall I had the best time and absolutely love New York! I was never stuck for things to do and met some lovely friends. Also if you like going out the nightlife is incredible!! Finally: 10/10 for Brian!! He made me feel welcome and at home straight away and the events he organised were fun and provides opportunity to meet the other interns. Kathryn, Amy, Andy and Nicholos were also really helpful and friendly throughout the whole process despite the trouble I had with my visa sponsor. I would definitely recommend the intern New York program, it was an unforgettable experience and would love to do it all over again.
Interning in New York
November 12, 2016by: Cara Melia - WalesProgram: Internships in New York
I interned at a start-up firm called Newpop as a marketing intern. I really enjoyed my internship and felt that it suited me really well. I was able to go to meetings with retailers and participate in the presentation of sales calls. I also attended food industry dinners in Long Islands where they presented their market 2017 market plan. I was also lucky enough to go to a four-day event in Baltimore for the Expo East food Show which was a great experience. I had the best time in New York and would highly recommend the Intern Group to anymore considering to do work experience abroad. The events coordinator Brian was great at organising events on the weekends and helped everyone make friends and ensured everyone felt at home really quickly. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough and Amy, Kathryn and Andy from the New York team helped me so much before I came out to New York and ensured that everything ran smoothly.



Interesting experience
November 11, 2016by: jw - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
The most interesting is getting to know people from different cultures and eventually become friends. Also getting to exchange life knowledge and experience with them. Beside that, the internship was boring but I understand that this is the first step of career. Nonetheless I believe it will give my CV a boost if I stay in Australia for a longer term.

The internship itself was thoroughly rewarding and such a great experience, definitely helping me out for future job interviews and gaining experience! It was a great experience and a lot of fun.

6 Weeks in NYC
October 21, 2016by: NYCinternProgram: Internships in New York
My time in New York with the intern group was one of the best experiences of my life. I found the planning stages of the internship quite stressful, the visa process was left until the last minute, meaning that I was unable to book my flights until the day before I was due to leave. For anyone applying I would recommend that you persistently check up on the visa process, and ensure that you can be lenient about your start date. Other than that, the whole experience was fantastic. I stayed in the upper west side accommodation Hotel 99. It was basic but fine, each room had a fridge and tv, and the shared bathroom was kept incredibly clean. There were no gym facilities at this accommodation however, so if this is important to you that may be an issue. The accommodation was very similar to student halls, not luxurious but totally fine. The best part of the experience was without a doubt the weekend social activities. Brian was the most wonderful tour guide and made all the trips and events really good fun. Everyone was really keen to make friends and I always felt included in all of the activities. The internship itself was good fun. At first I didn't feel that my job matched the description I had been given, but Kathryn from the intern group was really helpful when it came to sorting this out. I would urge anyone who is on the fence about applying to just go for it. New York is a city like no other, and everyone should get the opportunity to live there at some point, even if only for a little while!
London to New York
October 14, 2016by: POPPY - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
For anyone looking at applying to The Intern Group I say, do it. I was extremely nervous and worried about everything and anything a person could possibly ever worry about, but as soon as I met up with others on the programme and the programme co-ordinator I realised I would be just fine. I have had the most amazing experience making new friends and learning a new culture that I will remember forever. The trips are great, the accommodation (as long as you don't expect the Ritz) is fab and the people are wonderful. The only thing I would say is be a bit fussier about your placement than I was, I've learnt valuable experience that I am sure I will use however if you're looking at coming for a longer period of time than I did, make sure the company is somewhere you REALLY want to work. 6 weeks has not been long enough! Thank you Intern New York!
The Intern Group - thumbs up!
October 13, 2016by: Sophie Kilby - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Great program, great place, great people! Travelling all the way to Australia was obviously very nerve-wracking (especially if travelling to the other side of the world like myself). However, upon arrival the Intern Group were very welcoming and I met people who were also on the program almost straight away. Events were also put on by the program throughout my stay (e.g. zoo, sporting event, bar crawl, wine tour etc.) This meant I immersed into the Aussie culture straight away and also got to constantly meet plenty of people all around the world, learning about their culture, as well as experiencing this new one together. The Intern group were also great at fitting people to their internship perfectly, this including myself as well as other interns I met throughout my stay. My internship lasted for a total of 8 weeks, however I continued to stay for an extra 6 months due to my internship offering me a job. So staying was a no-brainer really! (Maybe I'll never leave). Applying to this program was the best thing I ever did, 100% no regrets.
Megan Brittan - production internship review
October 13, 2016by: Megan - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
Overall, I had an amazing experience! The company I was with provided the opportunities that I was looking for through contacts, not scheduled productions. Therefore, it is hard to say that using Whiteboard Pictures again would give an intern the same experience I had. Whilst I was in New York, I worked on 6 commercials, a feature film, a short film and a TV sport - an incredible amount of work for a 9 week placement. It was tiring, hard work and everything I wanted it to be! As for the Living/Social side, the location of 92Y is perfect; an amazing area and easy access to the Subway for getting to work. The accommodation itself is not the best, but is made up for by the gym membership that comes with it. The social events on the weekends (the ones that I could make when I wasn't working!) were typical and well organised. I would suggest some more variety for those staying more than 2 months. The program's assistance with Visa's and accommodation is invaluable for those interning abroad for the first time.
Most challenging and valuable experience in my life!
October 12, 2016by: Hana Brckalic - Bosnia & HerzegovinaProgram: Internships in New York
I always knew I want to do an internship in NYC as it is perceived as being one of the most competitive and challenging places in the world. Besides having many opportunities, NYC is a place where you can never be bored. I applied for an internship program through Intern Group who provided me with 2 options. I had 2 interviews and I have been selected to intern at the U.S. Senate. I have been so happy and thankful that Intern Group was able to connect me with the Senate which is one of the most competitive places. I need to say that the placement has been delayed and procedure of applying was really stressful. However, I was really happy once I have been placed. If you are interested in politics, foreign policy and overall work at the Senate office, this is the best place to do an internship. I was an intern for 2 months, full time. Staff highly appreciates work of interns. If you work hard, they will notice it and you will progress day by day. I did my best and therefore I was selected to attend Oath Ceremony and recite pledge of allegiance in front of 65 people who were naturalized. This was a great honour an privilege! During an internship I also volunteered for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Intern Group staff is really helpful. Make sure that you apply soon enough so they will place you ASAP. The hardest thing was to obtain visa on time. Staffer Nicolas was really helpful and always responded immediately to my emails. Also, Brian who was our experience coordinator, tried really hard to make us feel like we are all one big family. After finishing this internship so many doors have opened for me. I am really thankful to InternGroup! I would suggest everyone to apply. It is worth the money you pay, indeed. I cannot think of better long-term investment.

My internship in New York!
October 10, 2016by: NYintern - United KingdomProgram: Internships in New York
My Internship in New York was a once in a lifetime experience which went way too quickly ! It can definitely be listed as one of the most exciting things I've done. To make it easier I will divide the experience into pros and cons. Pros - The social aspect was excellent ! Every weekend we were encouraged to take part in trips and events that made us more culturally immersed in New York. - Health and Safety was at a high standard. We could always contact our program coordinator in times of need, and were placed in really secure accommodation in a safe part of Manhattan. - Very professional Intern Group work force. Very quick responses to emails, as well as constant contact. Information was very clear and whenever I had an issue it was normally resolved the same day. - Very good connections to companies in New York and a vast range of networking events and experiences. Cons - There were a lot of hidden costs ( realistically you may end up paying up to 3,000-4,000 dollars extra due to visa costs, flights and general living costs). It may help if the Intern Group states estimates of what the other costs will be so that there are no hidden surprises. - The visa process is VERY lengthy and for some interns it was a struggle to be able to start at their required start date, as some internship company placements weren't confirmed till only 3 months before their start date. Expect double the estimated visa allotted time for visa issuance and try and ensure that you gain a placement in good time. - Even though the accommodation was in a nice part of Manhattan, the rooms were not the best. In especially cold times there was no heating in the rooms, broken washing machines, removal of communal cutlery e.t.c. ( However if there were any issues with rooms the Intern Group were always quick to help). Overall : It was a fantastic once in a lifetime experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is seeking employment in the states ( I know a few girls who went on to get employment in New York !). Even though there are hidden costs it is definitely work it as it definitely helps to boost your CV and give you that much needed edge in a competitive job market.

The Intern NY team were fantastic! They did everything that they could to make sure that the internship matched my needs. Andy and Brian were always at hand to make sure that I was fine and that I was getting the most out of the programme. The highlight of the internship were the workshops Intern NY on various skills that I felt were applicable outside the work place. These were incredibly valuable! Thank you Intern NY.
Intern New York
September 24, 2016by: Hamza Ahmed - EnglandProgram: Internships in New York
I have just finished my internship with Intern New York and it has been an amazing experience. The staff there honestly try their hardest to help you get the absolute best out of your internship. They are with you every step of the journey and constantly offer their help and services, whether it's with something small such as a problem with your accommodation or something bigger such as a problem with your visa or a problem you have at work; they try their hardest to get it fixed quickly and efficiently. They provide a social community where they try to actively get all interns to interact with each other and form a community. They also organize cool activities amongst the interns such as Top of The Rock, Sightseeing Cruise around the Hudson River, 9/11 Memorial Tour and many more. Overall, my experience with The Intern Group has been amazing, they make you feel part of the community they have created and make themselves become not only colleagues, but friends too. I would genuinely recommend them to anyone thinking about interning in New York as I believe you will not be disappointed with your experience. After all, who can say no to interning in New York City – The city that never sleeps.
Amazing time
September 22, 2016by: Tizian - United StatesProgram: Internships in New York
My stay in New York was amazing. At first, I was a little bit sceptical when I first read about the Intern Group, but I only can say it was one of my best times of my life. At my Internship at Hickies I could learn a lot and it suited really good to my already previous undertaken internships. My colleagues were really friendly and helpful. I really have to thank the Intern Group to bring me together with this company. Also, my stay in New York was fascinating. Especially with Brian our coordinator, who was really motivating and made our life in New York to an amazing experience. A big thank you to Brian to give us such an amazing time and all the new friends which I made there.
Interning in New York city
September 20, 2016by: Calum Hill - ScotlandProgram: Internships in New York
The Intern Group New York provided me with a fantastic internship opportunity in the heart of New York City. With my office in Times Square I was instantly into the swing of things and the busy lifestyle of the average New Yorker, with the daily commute from the Upper East side. With the accommodation only a few blocks away from Central Park there was also opportunity to relax in the park and escape the bustling city. The Intern New York way of working by week and tourist by weekend, is a great way of experiencing New York at its finest, with so many events planned every weekend by the ever enthusiastic Brian Limbo, Intern New York's Experience Coordinator ensuring that no weekend was wasted. A boat tour on the Hudson, a trip to the 9/11 memorial and to Top of the Rock all included as well as a variety of trips to some of New York's most famous museums. My experience was not just limited to Intern Group events, with the flexibility to experience New York on your own or with fellow interns whether that be sporting events or a show on Broadway. New York is a fantastic place to do an internship and gain contacts in whatever career path you may choose. And I would recommend Intern New York when considering working abroad in one of the greatest cities in the world!
Judicial Intern in the BIG CITY
September 20, 2016by: Esther Wangatau - AustraliaProgram: Internships in New York
I love this experience, of coming to work and live in New York City; definitely a dream come true. My overall experience of this internship was awesome. At first, I was a little hesitant, as I have never been so far away from home for more than a month at a time, so for 3 months, it was a bit stepping stone for me. However, both Brian and the other inters made me feel welcome, and became my home away from home: my new family for this period. I would definitely recommend coming through the Intern Group to my friends and family; the process was easy enough, and the my internship job, as a judicial intern working underneath a sitting Judge in New York City, was awesome (to say the least). I honestly could not have asked for a better employer to work under, especially since I intend to return to NYC to sit for their Legal Bar Exam, in the future. All in all, GREAT EXPERIENCE & I AM TRUE SAD TO LEAVE.
Digital automotive marketing intern
September 19, 2016by: Andria Assalley - United StatesThe Intern Group provided me with a life-changing experience that I will never forget. In addition to having the time of my life, I made friendships that I will take with me and job experience that makes me stand out to possible future employers. I couldn't have asked for more when going abroad.
London summer internship
August 24, 2016by: Ben - United StatesThe experience with the Intern Group in London was very valuable to me. I was immersed in the great metropole with other people and students who were just as ambitious, curious and open-minded as me. Besides having great peer students to communicate and go out with at home, the program provided me a fantastic professional internship in the financial services industry in Mayfair, where many prestigious small-medium sized investment firms are established. The work environment was very tough in the beginning, having to do much grunt work like drafting business plans; but over time, I was given more and more responsibility and even handled my own few clients. It was a hard piece of work, but all the more rewarding in the end. The Intern Group also sponsors fun events on the weekends or evening during the week to get more familiar with the intimidating city of London. There are so many things to do, but the people in place always had great recommendations and ideas matching your own interests.
An amazing experience
August 24, 2016by: Brooke - United StatesThis summer I experienced my first time traveling to a foreign country and my first time working in my desired career field, film and television. Through my internship with Intern London, I was introduced to and immersed in the film and T.V. industry and I met some amazing people who I was able to explore London and other parts of England with. Participating in this program was a great experience for me, helped me grow as an individual, and gave me an insight to working with a T.V. production company. I would definitely recommend participating in this program.



Internship at Whizz-Kidz
August 17, 2016by: Giliean Pemble-Flood - United StatesAs part of the Intern Group's Intern In London program, I was given the opportunity to intern/volunteer at Whizz-Kidz, a U.K. based non-profit organization (NPO). It should be noted that internships with NPO's do not typically pay interns, and other interns in your program may be receiving payment at their respective placements. However, if you're like me, this will not bother you as Whizz-Kidz does extremely valuable work for non-mobile young people. My accommodation was located a 2 minute walk from the Farringdon Underground Station roughly 25 minutes by tube from the office's location in Central London, a stone's throw from the Victoria Underground Station. I worked with the Customer Service team and found it to be a really pleasant experience. They were very kind and welcoming, keeping the work environment lighthearted but professional when the situation called for it. I was tasked mostly with processing handwritten pre-clinic and therapist support forms into an electronic database known as the C.S.D. Occasionally I would also be asked to send follow-up emails or letters to people had not responded to the charity's previous correspondence. Overall, the work was simple to get the hang of and my co-workers were always supportive and helpful if I was unsure of how to complete something. Not once did I feel uneasy about asking for assistance. The office environment also has a far more lax dress code than many other placements, meaning interns won't necessarily have to buy a new wardrobe beforehand. On the whole, I enjoyed my placement with Whizz-Kidz and the general experience of Intern London. It's a great city filled with interesting people and places.
Would live in Melbourne if I could!
August 12, 2016by: Hannah - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I fell in love with the city and the people in it. I had such a wonderful experience during my internship with YGAP and the InternGroup made it really easy to get around the city. They also did a great job setting up fun stuff to do, like going to the horse races. Would do it all over again in a heart beat. (Although Bell City was not my favorite place to live).
Cold yet successful
July 28, 2016by: Screen Name - MelbourneProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
It was a colder time here in Melbourne, but I enjoyed it nontheless. My placement with the internship was solid and spot on. I couldnt have done a better job myself. I really enjoyed working with DI and their working culture. I learn a lot of new and important things. As far as the social aspect, I literally hung out with someone every single day. Its great to meet new people from across the globe. The only australians I made friends with were the intern employees, but even so they were awesome. The living situation is the only moderate to downside of the program. Bell city is quite... awful. My room was cold, so I ended up putting tape on the window so that the air wouldnt come through. My heater didnt really work and I was cold at night. Some shady things happened during my time there. Police and ambulances would arrive frequently.
Life changing
July 22, 2016by: Jessie Pomper - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
My experience with the six week program with the intern group was something that I will never forget. I met people from all over the world that I would have never met if I didn't do this program. I wouldn't change anything about my experience abroad in Melbourne and I recommend that every student who has the chance to be apart of an experience such as the intern group Australia should do it.
Intern Mel Aashna
July 22, 2016by: Aashna Sethi - EnglandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
It was honestly an absolutely lovely experience. I have met so many people from all over the world! If you're looking for a good travel and work experience this is your place, it's worth it. You get to see so many things, meet so many people and learn so much from them!
Live like a Londoner, work like a Londoner!
July 20, 2016by: Chow Lai Ha - ChinaIn this globalized world, it is important to have hands-on experience working in foreign country in order to a better insight towards the global market. You may argue that the experience can also be obtained by working in a multinational corporation, yet, working abroad provides a valuable opportunity to live locally, work locally, and think locally. The reason why I apply for the London program is that London is one of the most international cities, with good cultural conservation. Work is one of the most important parts of life, so does cultural experience. Therefore, I decided to take part in this program. I was working as a development intern for Academy of St Martin in the Fields, which is a chamber orchestra touring around the world, and my job was researching potential funding prospects and providing administrative help if necessary. Other than office duties, I even got a chance to attend the orchestra practice and see these talented artists performing in front of me. As a music lover, it was a remarkable moment of my life. Even though the development team was not in the peak season, therefore, I did not have much to do at that moment, this allows me to help the other team, concert team, which actually provides variety in my job. To live as a Londoner, traffic jam is the problem you encounter daily, but still, it is an "unforgettable" experience. Apart from that, cultural activities organized by the program provide a great chance to meet other interns and explore London together. For me, I traveled around London and even Dublin with my new friends, creating a wonderful memory.
Life changing opportunity
July 19, 2016by: Danielle Levy - United StatesI had a truly incredible experience with this program!! The leadership in this program was absolutely phenomenal. The application process was simple and clear. the program is very helpful in figuring out and completing tasks before your internship. once you arrive they make the whole move in process easy by having individualized packets and room accommodations ready! throughout my internship they hosted many social events as a way to meet new people and explore new aspects and areas of London!! I had a lot of fun and really glad i was apart of this program
Experiencing London
July 14, 2016by: Allyson Hibdon - United StatesMy name is Allyson Hibdon and I was in London for a 6 week internship at Bacchus PR here in London. Bacchus is one of the top PR companies in London and I had the privilege of interning with the restaurant team. Overall, my experience with both Bacchus and the Intern Group Programme has been wonderful. I didn't really know or understand what a PR company did or how important they were until I got to intern here. Everyone made me feel welcome on my first day and was keen to giving me directions, showing me how to get places for lunch, and overall being really friendly. The Intern Group were equally wonderful. They keep you busy from the moment you land with social events and outings. These outings are what kept me from feeling lonely and they're also how I met the 2 girls I do everything with now! I did not have any really bad experiences with the Intern Group. The only irritating things that happened were beyond their control such as tube strikes going on and slow wifi that often crashed in the accommodation, and my office was almost 2 hours away if there was heavy traffic. I advise that you do research on your company before hand, find your company the day before, go to the meetups even if you think you're too tired. You will regret it if you don't! Also, leave earlier than you normally would on Thursdays. I don't know why, but the tubes get ridiculously crazy and traffic is extra heavy. I would also advise you use the sim card and pay the £20 for data. I didn't and I regret it. There were times I would get lost or construction would be going on and I needed my maps and now have a hefty phone bill waiting for me when I get back. I also advise that you travel while you're here! I was able to go to Wales, Dublin, and Amsterdam while here and it was the best of times. I would recommend this programme to anyone and everyone.
International internship
July 07, 2016by: Lillian Tyson - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
The Intern Group program offered a lot in the areas of both professional and personal growth. Upon arrival there are many different activities that are in place to allow for networking with the other program participants. On top of the social and traveling aspects my Internship was with a great company that was really interested in helping me grow as a professional. If their was ever an issue with any part of the program the administration team was there to keep everyone informed. It's a great program that allows for a lot of growth and the opportunity to experience a new country through the programs events, that range from fun activities to professional development classes.
An amazing experience
June 26, 2016by: Marco - ItalyProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is a beautiful city full of cultures and opportunities, Australian landscape is on of the best in the world and there are a lot of different places and activities to discover, Australians are smiling and welcoming . All this context plus an important internship in the right environment able to give you insights and boost your future career is an amazing experience that I would like to suggest to everybody.
Straya
June 22, 2016by: John Kilcoyne - United StatesProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Travelling to Australia was a frightening leap of faith - I had never travelled before and didn't know what to expect. The folks affiliated with The Intern Group made me feel comfortable and secure and helped get me situated in what would become an amazing period of self discovery for me. After my eight week internship I decided to stay in Melbourne, and was a local for nearly six months - largely because my experience with the Intern Group was so positive and exciting.
Great
June 17, 2016by: Ayanda - South AfricaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
This was a awesome experience where I met and interacted with the amazing people from all over the world. The team was very helpful and made the group feel safe and well looked after all the time. The accommodation really let everything down with the service and quality of the place being low and unappealing. If that could change,twice as many interns would be available.
Melbourne: nice people, good food, great times
June 16, 2016by: Thaddeus Pryor - AustraliaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is an amazing city. The program is great if you choose to take full advantage of it. In the end it is what you make of it. My 3-month internship was great. By networking during the three months, doors opened and a scored paid position elsewhere in Melbourne for the summer of 2016. My Melbourne experience was everything I hoped for. During the week I worked 9-5 and trained BJJ/MMA in the evenings. Weekends were for traveling, socializing, and partying. Couldn't have asked for a better environment to meet all my needs. Good people, good internship, good MMA training. After my internship finished, I took a fight against a local Maori fighter... which I think counts as cultural immersion(?) I broke my hand (but won the fight) and right now typing with a cast on= a struggle. Go to Melbourne. You will not regret it. Australian people are very nice, and Melbourne is the most perfect and liveable city I've ever experienced.



Project manager at Elite Executive Services, Melbourne
June 10, 2016by: Anthony Armfield - United KingdomProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I chose to enter the Melbourne Internship after graduating university, as I wanted to experience living and working abroad. I went with the 6 week Business Internship with the Inter group. My application went very smoothly, and I received loads of help from the staff to improve my CV and find the best internship for my skills and goals. I worked at Elite Executive Services till completion of my internship. Once the 6 weeks was up I decided I just had to stay! I was offered a job in the role and continued to live for 6 months in Melbourne. Best decision of my life! On top of the work experience, the greatest aspect of the Intern Group program is the social life provided. Travelling alone was daunting, but after being placed in accommodation alongside others going through the same experience, I was instantly apart of a friendship group. We went on many trips out and saw the best side of Melbourne. From the guidance I received from both the Intern Group and my boss at Elite Executive Services I had the confidence to continue my travels. I have lived in New York since and recently been offered a great job in London.
My Madrileños experience
April 02, 2016by: Megan Grieves - GhanaProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Participating in an international internship with the Intern Madrid was such an incredible experience! On the weekends, I became a traveler and a foreigner exploring all the sights Madrid has to offer (my personal recommendation would definitely be to visit museums like Museo del Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, Reina Sofia and Casa del Sorolla); but throughout the week I lived the life of a typical Madrileños, catching the Metro to work and grabbing a quick bag of Churros for breakfast on the way. Madrid is a vibrant city full of friendly locals, beautiful sights, great food and a fun nightlife. My roommates (other Interns from the program) and I loved to explore the city, especially when searching for great places to eat. Although I survived in Madrid without knowing a lot of Spanish, however I would definitely recommend that prospective Interns learn some functional Spanish before you arrive. Knowing how to ask for prices, directions and to order food will make your life much easier. Plus, if you are a directionally challenged tourist like me, fear not! If you get lost in Madrid, simply search for a metro station and navigate from there or ask a local for directions. I loved to explore the city’s sites through walking miles and miles or taking the bus when I felt lazy(which has free WiFi!) One of the best parts of my experience was having the amazing InternMadrid team’s support. They are with you every step of the way- organizing weekly activities and always ready to offer advice on where to visit, eat, shop and anything else that you can think of! I was always connected to them and the other Interns in the program, so there was always the option of organizing an outing with someone with the same interests as you. Through my Internship, I gained invaluable experience and new skills in my respective field. Adapting to a new office culture is both exciting and nerve-racking, but if you're as lucky as I was you'll quickly get used to the culture through the help of lovely colleagues. I particularly miss having a snack at 11am in the office kitchen table joking or talking about the company's structure and history with my work colleagues. I certainly developed a new perspective on topics relating to my undergraduate degree. Overall, I loved every second of my internship and truly miss Madrid. I would definitely recommend the InternMadrid program to anyone looking for an exceptional Spanish experience and professional development.
The only thing you would regret is not having stayed long
March 19, 2016by: BEN AYED, Ahmed - ChinaI always wished to visit a Latin American country. Intern group Latin America gave this chance. I absolutely loved Medellin, Colombia is simply gorgeous and I would definitely come back and for that I am really thankful to the intergroup. The intern Group provided me with a nice placement in a really valuable company. I definitely think that this experience enhanced different skills of mine. This program was amazing, the organization from my landing to the day of my departure was flaw less. The trip to Guatape was simply breathtaking. Last but not least, I want to thank all the staff the staff they are really amazing they were really friend and helpful.
Internship in Madrid
March 15, 2016by: Jimmy Chen - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I had an amazing time in Madrid. It first started with the amazing office and staff that was extremely accommodating, accessible and trustworthy. It is a bit of a leap to go to a different country without knowing anyone or anything about the country's culture but because of the office and staff at Intern Madrid, I felt safe, accommodated and felt like I had an ally with me every step of the way. The culture and social life in Madrid was awesome because it was my first time in Europe. The European culture is very different and it was a great eye-opening experience. The language and cultural barriers were easy to navigate once I engaged in the language and did more cultural activities. The internship I had was also great because I wanted to do Marketing and PR in a different field than sports because all my experiences had been in sports before. I wanted to branch out a little bit and working at Cano Estudio, a creative Marketing and PR agency with ties to the art and fashion world was a great experience. The people at Cano Estudio were great and extremely accommodating and I am glad everything really worked out. Intern Madrid is a great program for anyone who wants a cultural, professional and social experience that is unique.
Wishing I was still there
March 15, 2016by: AdamMy time in Medellín with ILA really was one of the best experiences of my life so far! I had an internship with the local city government for 10 weeks and was working with such lovely people that I was made to feel like part of a family in the office. Even colleagues from outside of my department would actively strike up conversation and treat me really well. My workplace was flexible and I was able to work with my boss in determining the type of work that best suited me while still having projects that challenged me to learn more. The ILA staff were super friendly and helpful and definitely made the experience that much better. They were always there when I needed any help and really made an effort to involve us interns in social activities and experience what the city has to offer. Moving to a new city in another country can always be a little bit challenging but the staff ensured that it was as easy as possible so that I could focus on getting the most out of my experience. My accommodation was really convenient as it was close to a metro station, which allowed me to better explore Medellín and get to work easily. As a city, Medellín has a fantastic night life with so many options close to where my accommodation was in Poblado. There's also a lot to see if you take the time to venture further out on weekends, both during the day and at night. The people that live in the city are some of the friendliest in the world so make sure to get to know some locals!

Interning in a local government's tourism office
March 14, 2016by: James - EnglandFrom the beginning of the process and after my internship was finished, I felt extremely well looked after. The team were brilliant at helping me settle, showing me the ropes and really getting the most out of both my internship and my time in Colombia. They constantly liaise to ensure no questions go unanswered and honestly go out of their way to help. I fell in love with Colombia, due to the warmth of the people and the vibrancy of its culture. For ten weeks, I was an intern in the tourism office of Sabaneta, a municipality of Medellin. My project was to write a blog for the municipality's website, describing my experiences as a foreigner visiting the area's tourist attractions. It was a little slow to get going while we set out what exactly I would be doing, but soon enough I had plenty to be getting on with. My colleagues were incredibly friendly and eager to help in any way they could, so much so that I was genuinely sad to say goodbye. Through the combination of my internship and the guidance of the ILA team, I learnt a lot about Colombia. It really is a fascinating country and a great place to do an internship. I am so glad I took the leap because I made lasting friends who would open doors for me, I grew to love a country that I knew very little about and my internship served as a superb way to begin my stay in South America.
Top experience in another world
March 06, 2016by: Dennis - Cape TownI did an internship for around 8 weeks in Medellin, Colombia and the only regret I have looking back at it, is that I did not stay longer. The journey started by the Intern Group placing me in a great apartment with 3 other interns as roommates. I felt welcome immediately as they had put together a great little welcome package, which even included things such as a cellphone with a colombian number, so that I would never get lost. The internship I got placed in was at a Boutique Investment Bank. It was only a 5 minute walk from my apartment. I got to work in many different fields ranging from market research up to finding and actually contacting potential buyers. I can definitely say that the internship provided me tools to prepare me for a future in such a competitive environment, as well as giving me insights to help me with my further studies. What impressed me most however, was that the Intern Group did everything possible to ensure I had the best stay. They had activities planned almost every weekend as well as sometimes during the week, ensuring the interns never felt lonely. During my stay I had the opportunity to visit ceveral cities in colombia whenever I was on holiday. The Intern Group was always readily available to advice me on some amazing places to visit and without a doubt I would recommend anyone to explore this beautiful country. I cannot wait to come back one day!
The Quick Review
March 01, 2016by: Some guy - PerthI will keep this a short a possible. The experience was amazing! I really enjoyed my work placement and the people are all so friendly. It's very easy to meet people and a lot of events are organised by the intern group staff, so having fun is not hard.
Spanish Chemicals
February 24, 2016by: x - MedellinCompleting an Internship in Colombia was something I never could have dreamed of. The intern group matched me perfectly with a company from field. This company gave me hands on tasks and intellectually stimulating projects that required the knowledge of my studies. Before moving to Colombia, my spanish was terrible! I was unable to attend the university Spanish classes as my work wanted me there for full days, so the Intern Group organised private tutoring for me 4 days a week! Everything was well organised, and although I was along way from home felt very safe!
Socialatom Internship in Medellin, Colombia
February 18, 2016by: Zack Giarrizzo - MedellinMy experience as an intern with this program was so incredible that I chose not to leave. During the last week of my internship I accepted an offer to work with my company, Socialatom Group, full-time. The city is very diverse in the sense that it has perfect weather, has a population of 4 million, and there are trees and small forest areas spread throughout the concrete jungle. While the city has been good to me, I did not choose to stay in Medellin purely for the nightlife, the outdoor activities, the food etc. I stayed in Colombia because I absolutely loved my internship. Socialatom Group is an umbrella company that includes a venture capital fund, public relations firm, a recruiting platform, the largest tech and entrepreneurship publication in Latin America (PulsoSocial), and Coderise, a nonprofit that teaches computer programming to low-income high school students. During my short 2.5 month internship, I was able to work in each one of these fields and learn a little bit about everything. This was the most valuable part of my work experience here in Colombia because I was not completely sure what career path I wanted to take. I had trouble finding a passion. But, after never having the desire to pursue a career in finance or what I considered to be "basic business," I found out that my passion was investing in startups. It absolutely fascinates me because of all the amazing ideas and products people bring to our company on a daily basis. I never would have found this passion if it weren't for the Intern Group. Work experience was wonderful, but I also can't complain about having an apartment in the nicest neighborhood in Medellin, El Poblado. Filled with bars, nightclubs, great restaurants, and a never ending list of things to do, Poblado really was the perfect place to be. Living with other interns working in a plethora of different fields also gave me a constantly changing perspective on how to think differently while allowing me to take a new approach to the working world on a daily basis. Everyone I met in this program came to Colombia for the same reasons I did: a desire for work experience in an emerging market, increase Spanish proficiency, meet new people, and do something a bit outside the box. Often times students choose Europe as their destination to study or work abroad, but Latin America gives it's visitors a completely new experience that cannot be found in any other corner of the globe. My experience in Medellin has been amazing and can't express my gratitude to both the Intern Group and Socialatom enough. This is a remarkable city that is constantly growing and improving and I'm glad I can be a part of this and to do everything I can to change the reputation of a city that has advanced drastically from the crime-filled city it used to be. I feel safe and secure here at all time and I plan to stay until Medellin is known as a world-class city. Thanks Intern Latin America - Colombia for the best internship I could have asked for that was the best life-changing experience of my life.
Totally worth it
February 11, 2016by: Santiago - BogotáProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
A combination of three things made my experience in Hong Kong an amazing one: the city, the job, and the people. Hong Kong is everything you'd expect it to be plus more. The city is indeed electrifying, a bit chaotic (which I loved) and every corner has something new and unique to offer. Walking around with no particular place to go to at any hour of the day was one of my favorite things to do (it is super safe). But, surprisingly enough, Hong Kong is surrounded by gorgeaous sights, hikes, beaches and islands as well. What I found in Hong Kong was a city of contrasts (nature-city, east-west, Louis Vuitton-street markets, etc) and that makes it a lot of fun. I was a placed in a technology start-up where I was given real responsability (at the same time I was expected to create value) from day 1. This was my first working experience and I couldn't have hoped for anything better, I learned tons by actually seeing how things work first-hand in the real world. And the people: I met fantastic people (fellow interns, coworkers, and IHK staff) from literally all over the world and they made my experience in Hong Kong amazing. The IHK staff is the best, each of them is so welcoming, nice and fun! 10/10
That's how London became my new home
February 06, 2016by: Cristina - MilanoThere's a moment in our lives in which we realise that we have to make a change. It happened to me 4 months ago, when after an MA in Media Production and no working opportunities on the horizon, I decided to live an international experience and apply for the Intern Group London programme. I couldn't have done a better and more rewarding choice: after 3 months of internship, I'm now a full employee in a London based video production company. This wouldn’t have been possible without the assistance of the Intern London Team: from the beginning, they establish a personal, supportive and receptive relationship, they listen to your needs and find the most suitable working placement for you. During my internship I had the chance to meet people, take responsibility of several projects, travel, improve my skills, increase my self confidence in a working environment. I was also provided of a really comfortable accommodation, since it was located in zone 2, exactly halfway between my office and the centre of London. Sharing the apartment with other students/interns was another bright side of this programme: I had the chance to meet lots of people from different countries, to share many experiences with them and therefore to grow up as a person. I never felt alone or lost, since every week a meet up or event was organized for us. Even if from a distance London may seem a huge city, with a bad weather and terrible food, don’t miss the opportunity to take part of Intern London programme: Natalie and Melisha will make sure to prove you wrong and you’ll find out how incredible, multicultural and inspiring this city could be and how easy is to adjust to its lifestyle. Right now, I couldn’t live anywhere else.
Intern London
February 02, 2016by: Stephanie Di Virgilio - Perth,I have always wanted to experience living and working in London and the Intern Group London made that possible! My 8 week placement here in London was the perfect opportunity to experience a different world, meet new people and grow as a person. My intern placement was incredible and exactly what I was looking for. The meet-ups organised by the Program Coordinators were a great opportunity to meet other interns from all over the world! Participating in this program has truly been one of the best experiences of my life. Natalie and Melisha at Intern London were amazing and always willing to help out when needed! I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to experience London!
Such an extraordinary experience.
January 29, 2016by: Renato Hidalgo - GuayaquilProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Hi, my name is Renato and i love Hong Kong. I was a bit skeptical about the whole experience but decided to go thru the admission process and got in. I've always been nature oriented and thinking about working and living in Hong Kong sounded between a nightmare and a dream. It's called the NY of Asia and now i know why. Not only the city but the quality and diversity of people living there is at the top level. I got my internship at a high-tech software company, my major is business, and got involved in a start-up about to born in the inside. The environment was so international and professional i quickly had to step up my game, meaning thinking, acting, looking and producing results like a world-class professional and, at the same time, everybody cared about my well being and that i was learning in the process. My supervisor and the CEO were both top executives and awesome people. At the end of my internship the star-up became a company and we got our first customer, a really good one. Not all is work, i got to know some of the best people i've ever met. From Europe to LatAm they were all amazing and caring. Cheers to my bro Santi. The staff is just incredible thinking ahead all your needs and organizing events with the rest of the interns. Don't think it twice, do it at once.
The Greatest Summer of My Life
January 28, 2016by: Reanna Pilkington - EdmontonMy name is Reanna Pilkington and I had a 10 week Theatre Internship program at the Space Arts Centre in London, England. This summer was one of the most fantastical experiences of my life. Not only did I get to live in one of the greatest cities in the world and work for a fringe theatre that Ian Mckellan is a patron of, I met some of the most incredible people I’ve ever known. This experience was a real eye opener for me as I am a nineteen year old student that lives with her parents that was thrown onto another continent on her own with nothing but an internship and whatever I could fit into my suitcase. Thankfully the Intern Group was more than helpful with making sure that I arrived and survived my ten week program. For those looking at this program and wondering if this is the company to choose for your internship I’ll list why this is the one that will ensure your best experience. 1. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff who are always happy to answer all of your questions, and I mean ALL. I can confirm this as I asked about 400, and received timely and elaborate responses. Though emailing can be tedious they will always be available help you from the application till the day you leave your keys on your bed when moving out. 2. Your unlimited Oyster is included in the cost. This will save you hours of stress and provide you with the one thing you need more than anything to survive in London, transportation! 3. Meetups! Meetups! Meetups! Optional but incredible meetups at various fun and new locations that will help you get acquainted with the city and other interns. I have to be honest without meetups I would have been hanging out on my own until far into my program. I met some of my best friends at these things as well as gained experiences I would have missed otherwise, like High Tea, The London Eye, Cereal Killer Cafe, etc. 4. Awesome living situation with Host International. I cannot speak for everyone but I personally loved my flat and its location. Just outside of central London, it felt a bit more authentic than the London you witness at Westminster. I lived with a rotating cast of 4 other housemates, and was lucky enough to have the only en suite bathroom in the house. It was clean and lots of amenities were provided, we were also very close to buses and the jubilee line. Also they have cleaners come in to clean and give you free toilet paper, score! These are the main benefits the Intern Group offers that I would not have survived very easily without. My internship itself was different than I expected, I showed up on the first day in a dress, blazer and heels to find my employer and coworkers in jeans and jumpers, so it was safe to say I overdressed. We also worked in a portacabin which I wasn’t expecting, but as the theatre I worked with was in a historical church there was no room in the building for the office. Once I started dressing casually and began to understand the processes of the many systems and social media accounts I can safely say that it was one of the coolest jobs I’ve ever had. I got to work on so many different aspects of running a theatre which also meeting so many remarkable people like Louise Jameson who was doing a show at our theatre, I also got to see a large amount of these shows for free which was amazing. The location was right near Canary Wharf which allowed another side of London to be experienced that I otherwise never would have seen. Adam, Isabel and Keri were incredible bosses, I would recommend the Space to anyone who has a love for theatre and writing tweets. I gained many employable skills from this experience involving computers, organization and public relations work. My only issues with the trip were of things that had nothing to do with the Intern Group control, such as tube strikes, rerouting of bus routes, bad quality wifi, and the exchange rate. So when looking for an internship, research as I did, but know that there are very little, if any, other programs that offer this kind of experience as a whole. My advice to you is to make sure you get a 20 pound 3 sim card for your phone, go find your internship before your first day and put yourself out there, have the greatest most worthwhile experience you can. Remember that “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life” -Samuel Johnson. I'd like to thank Natalie, Melisha, the intern group and all the amazing friends I'm hoping to see again this summer. This experience changed my life! What's next? I'm off too another adventure!



London Lover
January 28, 2016by: Olivia DunhamI loved my time in London. London is an absolutely amazing city and if it wasn't for the Intern Group I would not have been able to spend 4 months there. The Intern Group made the whole process super easy and helped me to acquire an amazing internship that I truly enjoyed. Also, the Intern London staff was always friendly and efficient. If there was any type of issue, they were always there to help! Everything about London was amazing and I would recommend doing an internship abroad!
Events Coordination Internship in Madrid
January 28, 2016by: O-Town - BristolProgram: International Internships in Madrid
I have to say I was very impressed with Intern Madrid. I spent nearly 6 months in Madrid organising events for a top Spanish company and I definitely feel that this internship has made me more employable while greatly improving my Spanish. I definitely recommend the programme because the team showed that they genuinely care about interns' wellbeing. They made every effort for us to make friends and be happy, and they were there to help us whenever there was even the slightest issue or if someone needed help. It's not easy moving to another country where you know no one and the only locals you meet are your colleagues (no matter how lovely they are!), which is why I'm so thankful that Intern Madrid organised so many events for us. I made some really good friends during my stay that I would never have met otherwise. Another great point is that fact that we didn't have to worry about finding accommodation and we all lived in very safe, central areas in Madrid. I would recommend Intern Madrid to anyone!
One of the best 8-weeks of my life!
January 27, 2016by: MadridMania - LondonProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Doing an internship in Madrid has been one of the greatest experiences I've had. Disclaimer: Be ready! In the early stages you will have a Skype interview with an Intern Group Programme Manager, who will work hard to put you on an internship that best matches your skills and experiences. Once you are accepted by the employer and you have paid your program fee, the process that follows is extremely quick. This can be quite daunting for some. But be confident. You will not regret it. My advise: Commit yourself to getting the most out of your experience. Although I can honestly tell you, you will never be stuck with nothing to do. Not only will you find yourself begging for more time to explore whatever new and exciting country you've travelled to - I promise you! - The Intern Group organise a number of events each week that will immerse you in the local culture, entertain you and introduce you to new friends. One of the best things about The Intern Group is the 24 hour support they offer throughout your stay. If you need to discuss something about your internship, you're feeling ill or you're lost on the way to an event... (a.k.a Myself. All the time!) there is always a representative a phone call, email or metro stop away. This is definitely a plus for first time travellers. Not only do you get a great experience living and working in a foreign country you will network and make new friends on the way :-))) It's an unforgettable experience that grows you professionally and personally. I would definitely recommend The Intern Group and thank them for such an awesome experience.
Best decision I've made
January 26, 2016by: Maeve M - BrockportChoosing to go to London for an internship was an amazing experience that was made extremely doable and easier with help from the Intern Group. Right from the start, they helped me through the process from writing a CV to applying for my visa and getting me to my accommodation. Along with helping you get an amazing internship in an incredible city, they make sure that you meet other people through meet ups at great places in the city and experience as much of London as you can in your time there. In the program, the get you an oyster card for unlimited travel in zones one and two, which gives you unlimited travel right in the center of London! Along with the card, you get to have High Tea, go on the London Eye and go to the theater. Overall, this was an experience that I will never forget and will forever be glad that I took the opportunity to take part in. I met some of the most incredible people during my stay and had some of the most amazing time while in London. I also walked away with new skills learned not only from the internship but from the Intern Group. If you get the opportunity to use them, definitely take it and you will not regret it!


You won't want to leave
January 23, 2016by: Sophia - Mystic, CTI spent September - December of 2015 in Medellín and had an incredible experience. I did have a few medical issues while abroad but the ILA staff was very quick to get me the medical attention I deeded, as well as to follow up with me through out the week and the rest of my stay. I could not have asked for a more supportive team that did everything they could to make sure I was taken care of. My initial internship placement was not living up to my expectations so the ILA team was quick to both discuss the issues with my placement organization as well as offer me an opportunity to change my program all together. In the end I did choose to switch, but from the time of speaking up about my issues and being given an alternate placement was only a few days. I am very happy with how the situation was handled and I was able to have a unique and educational internship experience. Having the opportunity to participate in ILA planned events, either day trips or watching a fútbol game, offered a unique perspective on Colombian culture. The information and details ILA was able to share with us allowed for better understanding of traditions and allowed us the opportunity to ask questions as we thought of them. While the interns became a family of their own, the ILA team were more than just a support system but also became friends we wanted to spend time with. Regardless of ages everyone found common ground and whenever we got together it was a lot of fun. The time really does go by so incredibly quickly and when it comes time to leave you really won't want to. Leaving Medellín and my new friends was really hard, and I can't wait until I can see them again. Colombia really does capture your heart, and I truly cannot wait until I can plan my return trip. Personally, as someone who was adopted from Colombia and going back for the first time since I was a baby, the intern experience made getting to know my birth country a wonderful experience. They were able to open my eyes to the beauty and friendship Colombians have for one another as well as visitors. The people I met were so warm and welcoming, and very patient with those just learning Spanish. I would highly recommend participating in the program and begin your own adventure.
Simply Amazing!
January 14, 2016by: Martina E Tafoya - Daytona BeachAlthough the program overall is a bit pricey, if you find the funds to go it is well worth it. The intern group does a great job of placing you and they make sure you are fully amerced in your work to get the utmost work experience. The city is wonderful, they do tours, trip and events that are great. This trip will make so many memories you wont be able to tell which one is your favorite.

The Experience of a Lifetime
December 15, 2015by: Adam Lewis - SwanseaProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
I arrived in Australia with high hopes, but the experience I had surpassed any expectations I could have imagined. I was on a six week program, working for a small Digital Services organisation based in North Melbourne. We were picked up from the airport and taken to our accommodation, which was warm, clean and suitable for what it would be used for during the duration of the trip (which was mostly just to sleep in). They also had a Gym, Sauna and Pool (which was very cold, but we still went in) - all of which made our stay more comfortable. It was close to the local station, and in walking distance of the local supermarket. Richmond was also only a short Tram ride away. My work placement was a direct fit with the skills and experiences I had, and the company was very accommodating and helpful as I settled in during my first few days. As in any job, the effort and passion you put into it is directly indicative of the results that you achieve. I had an amazing experience and made some great connections during my time at my placement company, and have definitely opened doors for a potential return some day. Lewis and his team were excellent in ensuring that we had everything we needed to be successful and safe during our time in Melbourne. The team was on hand to support us, and they endeavored to provide every opportunity possible for us to have the true Aussie experience. I have to give a shout out to Dylan, who was amazing for the duration of our trip. He was on hand to give us advice on the best bars/clubs/sites to visit, and also joined us on a number of our organised trips. He came to be a good friend by the end of the trip, and I was sad to say goodbye to him. He really is an asset to Intern Australia. The trip was made by the people I met.. naturally, due to the cyclical nature of the placements, you will see people come and go, but you will always have people to do things with. I feel very fortunate to have arrived at the same time as a group of others who naturally clicked. Together we explored Melbourne and the surrounding areas, including the Great Ocean Road and the Grampian Mountains. We really bonded as a group, and since I left Melbourne in August, I have met up with five out of the eight (although visits to them are being planned). I recently returned from a trip to Las Vegas with two of my closest American buddies from the trip, and it was just like old times. This is what the program is all about, connecting people around the World, and they certainly achieved it in this instance. I urge everyone to take this opportunity. You will not regret it.


Unparalleled experience that set the foundation for my career
December 14, 2015by: Jaime - New YorkI was a shy undergraduate before I started my journey with the Intern Group in the London location. My internship enabled me to have an incredible experience in the summer - an unparalleled experience that set the foundation for my career. I was able to work with industry leaders in the financial and information security sector. I gained an infinite amount of skills and level of confidence that I never thought I could. The program coordinators were very professional and helpful and I would re-live the experience in a heartbeat. Since the internship, I have acquired a skill set and I am considered a hot commodity in the job market. I could not do it without Intern Group.
An unforgettable experience
December 14, 2015by: Samantha Schulze - ClevelandProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
interning abroad through the intern group was one of the best decisions of my life. The program provided me with an amazing internship that I loved as well as connecting us with a group of other interns that I will be friends with for years to come. Dylan did an amazing job organizing activities for us to do as a group as well as recommending things for us to do in the city on our own. The accommodations were okay and I didn't mind them because I was literally there to sleep. I would highly recommend interning in Australia or one of the other cities that the intern group offers.

Melbourne experience
December 14, 2015by: Ryan Williams - OtsegoProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
This program was the absolute best. One of the best choices I have made in my life, I met some the most amazing people while also having a great internship experience. I would highly recommend taking part in the program if you have the opportunity!
Hong Kong Internship
December 14, 2015by: AlexisProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The internship placement was like nothing I expected. I must admit, I was a little suspicious at first, as I had never been abroad on programmes such as this one. My suspicion was quickly removed after I had my first Skype interview with the programme coordinators and then another one with the company I was interning at. I am not sure I can condense my entire experience into one small review. I will therefore quickly summarise: I had the best time both in terms of work experience, cultural immersion, and getting to know new people that I will likely stay connected to for life. I learned many valuable lessons and gained an insight into the culture of Hong Kong. The programme is incredibly efficient and everything went very smoothly. I must say it was excellent, and nothing went wrong - that being said, the apartments were a little small for Western standards, but I cannot complain. It was clean and in a good location, only a 20 minute commute from my internship. It may be an issue to some people but for me it was no problem at all, in fact I was incredibly happy with the small size and location. This programme is incredible and I can only recommend it. I learned a great deal about the industry I want to work in and gained many friendships, as well as an increased cultural understanding.
Exceeded all my expectations
December 07, 2015by: Pip - MelbourneI participated in an 8 week program with Intern London in March 2015. Signing up I was hesitant about what the program involved and whether I would enjoy my time. I needn't have worried at all. The Intern Group are an extremely attentive group of professionals who are committed to finding the best internship they can for you. They help manage any doubts or fears you have and I ended up in a journalism internship where I was given a lot of responsibility and was published numerous times. On top of this, I found my accomodation brilliant and in zone 2 which meant travel into central London was easy and relatively fast. Your travel costs are included in the program fee which means less stress in worrying about having money on your oyster card. Because of this I was able to travel and see London on my weekends and during my evenings. I made a lovely group of friends during my stay and was able to see them all at the social activities also organised by The Intern Group. The program is brilliant in that you can make it your own - you can be as social as you'd like, you have all the support you need, and on top of all of this, there are extras offered including what I would describe as a complete online personality screening which gives you a fantastic look at how you individually operate in the working environment. I felt any question I had was answered quickly, and the whole program allowed me to push my boundaries and grow as a person. Sign up immediately! The team at Intern London will look after you brilliantly and you will have a once in a lifetime experience.
General Projects Engineer
December 03, 2015by: Fady F. Farouk - LondonThis placement was one of the most valuable experiences of my life and will remain with me for the rest of time. I tasted heaven on earth. They say there is something about the beauty of that place - and i bare witness to that. I have carried the best and dearest memories of my life forward as a result of the organisation of the team and the natural beauty of the country. Colombia, and specially Medellin, has now become my number 1 place to revisit. Everything fell into place for me when i was there, from the workplace to my Colombian home. The timing of everything was perfect, and helped me find myself and brought me new, profound, invaluable comfort. I can't wait to go back... I feel like i must.
Living in Colombia
November 30, 2015by: Sammy Magana - PortlandI absolutely LOVED living in Medellin, Colombia. I could not have gone through a better program either. The Intern Latin America group is the best. The women in this office literally put their hearts and souls into their work and it shows. They made sure we were always safe, had great recommendations of where to go (for food and entertainment), and planned fun activities for us. I highly recommend this program for any first time international solo travel. You won't regret it!

An Extremely worthwhile experience
November 19, 2015by: TYM - LondonProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Going to another country to live and work in is not easy but the staff at Intern Group Hong Kong were extremely helpful in helping you settle down. I was put into work in which I was given what I wanted in terms of my career path and I found my internship a worthwhile and very enjoyable experience where I have gained connections and experience which will help me in my future career. Furthermore, I met some amazing people during this internship which only made my 2 months living and working in Hong Kong even more enjoyable.
Medellin, La ciudad de la eterna primavera
November 15, 2015by: Peter Panigiris - SYDNEYThis photo just sums it all up! Nacional Cap, Flag Wrapped around me, Overlooking the beautiful Guatape The girls at the inter group where amazing, and really showed the Colombian spirit. I would recommend Colombia to all of my friends, and continue to say what a beautiful and amazing time I had there

Una pasantía, una exeriencia de vida
November 11, 2015by: Erika - MedellinMi pasantía con Intern Latin America fue una experiencia maravillosa. Tuve la oportunidad de participar en el proyecto de mis sueños en la Gobernación de Antioquia, donde recibí un trato amable y profesional. El equipo ILA me apoyó durante todo el proceso, desde la primera entrevista hasta la finalización de mi proceso. Durante mi estadía en Colombia sabía que no estaba sola y que contaba con personas que me ayudarían en cualquier situación adversa. Me enamoré tanto de Colombia y de Medellin que ahora vivo acá y quiero trabajar por mejorarla cada día. Hacer una pasantía en el exterior me permitió tener una visión más amplia de mi carrera y los ámbitos en los que me puedo desenvolver como profesional, además de convertirme en una persona con ventajas comparativas a la hora de postularme para un nuevo trabajo o una maestría. Recomiendo altamente este programa.
Amazing experience
November 07, 2015by: Hannah - The WirralProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
After finishing university I wanted the opportunity to go travelling and work. I stumbled across The Intern Group and just applied to see 'what if' and 2 months later I was working and living in Hong Kong. The whole experience has truly been amazing and I have met the best people! The company I worked for gave me so many opportunities that contributed greatly to the whole experience. I didn't want to come home by the end! The process of it all was smooth and I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to travel but wants to gain valuable work experience. Hong Kong is amazing.
Amazing Experience
October 29, 2015by: Emily Collins - St. GeorgesProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I couldn't recommend doing an internship through the intern group more. I spent 6 weeks in Hong Kong doing an internship with Maya Events. I was placed in an amazing company and met great people, all of whom the intern group connected me to. They do a great job at making sure there is always something fun going on and at making sure you meet a lot of people through the program. My only regret is that I didn't do the internship longer!
The Intern in Colombia
October 22, 2015by: Chukwuka Amadioha - AberdeenAs an international student, the best gift I gave myself was travelling to Colombia for an internship. Interning in Colombia with The Intern Group was one of the best/crazy decision I have made in years now. Although I had some discouragement from several people not to go, plus the financial responsibility, it was worth every penny.They took care of my visa application, accommodation, and job search. With Intern group, it felt like I was a king coming home after few years away. The work experience at Cryogas was exceptionally rewarding. I enjoyed being in an industrial/business environment while adapting to the culture and language challenge.The experience not only developed professionally but also increased my networks and cultural awareness. Massive thanks to The Intern Group for creating this opportunity for me as well as a lot of other students. In summary, the weather, cultural events, and people were amazing. And for those who are still contemplating the decision, you have a "Chicharrón" and need to try "Bandeja paisa".
Marketing Internship
August 26, 2015by: Trang Trinh - MontrealProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The eight weeks that I have spent in Hong Kong was amazing; it is an experience that I would never be able to forget. I was able to learn and grow so much within such a short span of time, and this mind opening journey would not have been so beautiful if not for the team at Intern Hong Kong and the interns from the program. The team at IHK are not only attentive and responsive, they are incredibly caring and friendly. Ryan, Yiyan, Jeniffer, and Gemma were by my side every step of the way, from visa application, to internship placement, to accommodations and excursions. IHK had tried their best to tailor the internship placement to my background. I major in Marketing and as a marketing intern for an online high-end wholesale fashion company, I was in charged of their retail network along with their social media content. I was able to learn greatly from this internship, in regards to the fashion industry as a whole, and micromanagement of an online retail company in specific. Accommodations in HK are generally quite small, however, the placements are very modern and clean. Aside from the professional internship and the accommodation, the social aspect of HK was the most educational and memorable component of my time in HK. Thanks to the two amazing event program coordinators of IHK, not only was I able to explore all the breathtaking and hidden places of the concrete jungle that is HK, I was fortunate enough to meet and befriend a group of high energy, educated, and incredibly sweet individuals that are the interns. I love every single moment I've spent in HK and I highly recommend this program.
M&A Experience of a lifetime
August 20, 2015by: Julian Chavarry - MiamiProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Upon arriving in Madrid for my 10 week program, I was immediately thrown into the mix and culture of the Spanish people. This I have to say was my favorite aspect of the program. The idea of finding yourself an opportunity across an ocean in an unfamiliar country may seem crazy, perhaps even foolish, but I can proudly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The feeling of walking to my job every morning knowing that I was going to be surrounded by helpful and experienced professionals each day really gave me the confidence that I needed to surpass expectations and grow as an individual. I got exactly what I wanted and more from this experience. I was able to land a great and respectable job while practicing my spanish and even travel on the weekends. The Intern Group really made my experience enjoyable and seamless. If you are looking to add to your CV, learn/improve language skills and experience unfamiliar cultures, meet new and exciting people, and have an amazing experience, the Intern Group will not let you down.
Amazing experience!
August 17, 2015by: ElenaHi everybody! I recommend Intern London as a provider for your internship in London. The staff is really helpful and the events organised during my time in London were great. The accommodation was really nice also. It was located in zone 2 along the Thames river and I had a bus stop in front of it. So, it was easy reaching my workplace, shops and a big supermarket (Tesco). Thanks to Intern London I had my first work experience as a marketing intern in an international company which gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about the world of work and how to work in team. I'm sure about that I acquired relevant skills which will be useful for my future goals and my future career. In addition, London is an amazing city. So, there are always interesting festivals and new exhibitions. What is my favourite aspect of London? Its intercultural and international climate.
An unforgettable experience
August 15, 2015by: Tiffany - Hong KongProgram: Internships in Melbourne, Australia
Although the program seemed pretty new and a little unorganised at first, everything started to run more smoothly as more interns arrived. My internship itself was good, worked with a great team and had a great insight into the field I opted for. However, the time I spent in Melbourne was made even better with a lovely group of people and that was definitely the highlight to the experience. Living conditions could have been better judging by the amount we paid for, but to me we spent more time out and about busy exploring the city so for a short-term internship it's not unbearable.
I would do it again in a heartbeat
August 13, 2015by: Shanell - WorcesterIf you are looking for a program where you will be able to grow as a person, have the liberty to make your own decisions, but also have a full staff ready to help you then the Intern Group is definitely it! I knew I wanted an experience abroad, but I wanted to make sure that I did it with the right program. After researching and reading endless reviews, I decided that Intern London was the best choice. Once I got to London, I was able to experience for myself all that Intern London had to offered. From a warm welcome with the staff and other interns, to countless meet ups arranged by our Experience Coordinator in different parts of London. They even made sure I had the best way to get to my internship! If I have to say what is the one thing I enjoyed the most about living in London is definitely walking in the streets and hearing at least five different languages being spoken at the same time! It might be a simple thing, but it makes me smile even thinking about it. London is full of people from every part of the world, so yes it is definitely the place where you can make some international friends!
Probably the best summer of my life
July 14, 2015by: Paola Trabanco - San JuanI've said it once and I'll say it again: doing an internship abroad after college was the best decision I've ever made. Not only am I getting work experience that will help me in the future, I also get the chance to live in a different city, experience a different culture, meet people from around the world and make every day a new experience. From the beginnning, I had great support from The Intern Group, answering all my questions and helping during the visa process. They made the application process less stressful for me. This experience has given me the opportunity to grow as a person, to have a new perspective in life and meet incredibly people. If you are afraid of living abroad, don't be! There is nothing to be afraid of! Step outside your comfort zone, go see the world and meet new people. This is the time do it!
Life Changing Experience
June 23, 2015by: Krystal Watson - San Antonio, TexasThis has been one of the best experiences of my life. I am so glad that I chose to apply thru Intern London. I have made friends from all over the world that I know will be life long friends. Meeting new people both from the intern group and those that I met thru my work position, I have gained such valuable knowledge and insight; this is truly a life changing experience. When I arrived in the UK, I added my intern position to my resume and linkedin profile; last week I was contacted for an interview in my hometown with a design firm who found my information, resume, and online portfolio...the owners are originally from London. If this amazing experience has helped land me a job, that is just even more of a reason for students, no matter where they are in their studies, to complete an international internship with a wonderful company like Intern London. I would highly recommend this for everyone! Thanks, Krystal
Best 10 week of My Life!!
April 18, 2015by: Angeline TwoProgram: International Internships in Madrid
Initially, I was hesitant to do my internship in Madrid because I felt that I would be out of place and out of my comfort zone. however, the Intern Madrid helped me feel comfortable and welcoming. Many of the other interns we so nice and friendly, made me enjoying Madrid more. Two weeks after my final semester started, I was asked to give a presentation on my internship to my juniors at University. As public speaking isn't my forte, with the help from professional development workshop that I attended in Madrid, that made me fee confidence in giving a presentation. Most of all my favourite experience of the internship were the opportunity given during internship, it made me think outside the box, the people I met and work with, the culture and the places I have explored were amazing. This internship gave me the best opportunity to be independent. Thank you, Intern Madrid. I'll never forget the great experiences I had during my stay here and I will be back ^^
14,000 Km out of my comfort zone.... I loved every second!
March 26, 2015by: Ethan Gallagher - PerthProgram: International Internships in Madrid
The Intern Madrid team went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was one that I would never forget. From ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment, to finding an intern-ship that suited my personality, the team covered it all. The places I saw, the experience I gained and the people I met will stay with me forever. Even though I was only in Madrid for a short 8 weeks, I felt as though I have gained a second home, due in part to the amazing people I met along the way. I'm not a particularly outgoing guy, and being my first time travelling solo I was very uncertain about what to expect; but the things I learnt about myself definitely gave me the confidence to begin my professional career back home. In my second week back in Perth, I received two job offers thanks to my impressive CV. I cant take all the credit (as much as i'd like to), our professional development workshop came in handy especially when it came to writing my CV and developing interview skills. Not to mention how impressive working and living in Madrid looks on your CV..... Employers love that kind of stuff ;) Thank you Intern Madrid, I had an amazing time and I'm sure i'll be back in the future.
If I can do it again, I would in a heartbeat
March 23, 2015by: Kevin Bedoya - Long BeachProgram: International Internships in Madrid
My six month internship in Madrid was one of the best decisions I ever made and something I will cherish for years to come. After graduating from CSULB with a Hospitality degree, I was looking for an unique experience and I found The Intern Group. After dealing with a long, dreadful visa process (since I was staying over 90 days), I was on my way to Madrid. I had a great 6 months with The Intern Group as they provided me with proper housing in one of the best neighborhoods in the capital (Malasaña) and gave me the opportunity to be an intern for Atlético de Madrid, a professional football team in Spain. Although the internship wasn't in the hospitality sector, I embraced my role and learned a lot about marketing through social media and how to improve the perception of a company through social media. This experience helped me expand my business network, and I am proud to say I have international connections with the people I met within the program and others I met through my internship. The Intern Madrid staff was a small group (3-4 people), but were very attentive to any issues or questions I had for them. Thalassa, the director of the group, was always helpful and open to any suggestions I had for the group. Anytime there was an issue, she would be up and running, ready to solve it. Christina was also very helpful as she helped me get through my visa issues. I was always in contact with her during the weekdays throughout the process despite the 9 hour time difference. Larisa, who was the social events coordinator, was super friendly and genuinely wanted to help us have the best time through tapas nights, movie nights, or recommendations. She brings out the extrovert out of introvert people. Although the Intern Group is only about four years old, I feel it has great potential to be one of the best international internship programs out there. The experience and the relationships I made in Madrid are priceless. I am thankful for the staff who made my six month stay truly one of the best times of my life and I hope to return soon.
M&A Internship
March 10, 2015by: James Martin - LondonProgram: International Internships in Madrid
So, perhaps like many reading this review, back in Summer of 2013 I was graduating from my Masters degree with little on the horizon in terms of employment. I had achieved a distinction, a first in my undergraduate economics degree but, crucially, without having had a previous internship in a financial institution, finding employment in the impregnable world of London finance was seemingly impossible. At this juncture, having heard about the Intern Group, I decided to read up on them to understand what exactly was on offer. At the time, I felt if I could just secure an internship my prospects would change and I would have ticked all of the boxes necessary in order to secure a job. I was intrigued by what I read and was quickly put in touch with their central office in America to arrange my internship abroad. Having spoken to the team, they then directed me to the Madrid office and we discussed the specifics, opportunities available given my CV, when I could start and so on. First hurdle, one which I'm sure has precipitated you searching out this review, was cost of the program. Let's not beat around the bush, it's a lot of money. You want to know you're going to come out of it getting significant value to justify the cost. I had the same concerns but, having spoken to a former intern through a mutual friend, decided the program was worth taking a chance on given the fact I had few other options. I paid the deposit and, upon hearing there was an opportunity available in an M&A boutique, sold my car to embark on a 3 month internship in January last year. So, to cut to brass tax, was it worth it? It was worth every single penny and more. Placement & Work: My job as an analyst was stimulating, constantly evolving and gave me exposure to the world of M&A. As arguably the single most competitive practice area in finance, just securing a position in an M&A firm is testament to the quality of the Madrid team in sourcing opportunities. It was the job I asked them to find and they delivered, so on that basis alone I cannot fault them. I learned the exact kind of transferable skills in financial modelling and analysis that were previously lacking on my CV. Having enjoyed the work so much, I was able to extend my original stay to double the period (6 months) and the company were more than happy to accommodate. Crucially however, my decision to extend my stay wasn't based solely on how satisfying the work was, but was based on the confluence of an enjoyable job coupled with a fantastic social experience. Social: The Intern Madrid team have an individual dedicated to arranging and overseeing an exciting calendar of social events throughout your stay. Whether you're a passionate football fan and want to see the Bernabeu in the guided tour, or wish to discover the culture of Spain with a trip to Toledo, there will be something every weekend (and during the week!) to ensure your down-time is at no point cause for a snooze. What's also good is the flexibility - during my stay the team, on multiple occasions, would arrange events around the wishes of the interns. If there's a particular event or activity that a suitable group-size want to experience they'll make it happen. Concurrently, you're staying in what I discovered to be one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Madrid, literally, does not sleep. On plenty of occasions some of the other interns and I would arrange our own event during the week and just head on out. The social experience will ultimately be what you make it - Intern Group provide a fantastic platform but ultimately it will be up to you. I was housed with some other English guys, along with two Interns, who were teaching English in Madrid. They got involved with events at the Intern Group (they came to the theme park with us, the tapas evenings etc.) whilst we went along to events their fellow teachers were organising, including a house-party at a penthouse apartment that some Americans on their teaching programme owned... Further, even with my glaring lack of Spanish, my social experience even extended to the office and on multiple occasions I went out for drinks after work with colleagues. In my experience, and I'm sure the others on my program would agree, you'll actually find you have too much as opposed to too little in your calendar! The strength of the social experience is evidenced by the fact you'll have to weigh up numerous options of what you want to do with every evening of your week. I came away from Madrid having made lifelong friends. Since returning to the UK, I've met up with some of the English Interns for a reunion and in April this year I'm headed back to Madrid to see two of my work colleagues over the bank holiday weekend! But ultimately, whilst the social experience alone would have been worth the trip, I went there to pursue an internship and begin my career. I'm delighted to say that upon returning to the UK, I immediately attended two interviews and now work in a boutique Private Equity firm as an investment analyst. During both interviews, the primary area of questioning would be centred around my time abroad - one of the firms, who ended up giving my the offer and I now work for, was particularly taken with the fact that I in fact didn't speak Spanish and chose to go anyway. It shows your an individual with a mind open and inviting to new experiences, willing to challenge yourself. So in summary - I sold my car and in return made friends for life and secured my dream job. I can guarantee you'll have your doubts and you'll have nerves all the way until you wake up on your first day in Madrid. Then you'll start work, you'll start making friends and you'll have your own Madrid experience that I have no doubt will be just as fantastic and unforgettable as mine was. Following your internship, you'll be set apart from your University friends but not just because of your CV, but because whilst they reminisce over their University experience and how it's once-in-a-lifetime and they wish they could go back and do it again, you'll be thinking the exact same thing but about your internship instead.
I couldn’t recommend it more!
March 09, 2015by: HB - LondonProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The whole internship program is run superbly- I couldn’t recommend it more! The interngroup helped me organise my trip well and gave me a massive amount of details about Hong Kong before I even arrived. When I arrived in Hong Kong I was welcomed with open arms by the staff and fellow interns, I felt immediately at ease, safe, looked after and welcome. Ryan, Yiyan and Steph do an excellent job! I really enjoyed the amazing internship they helped me secure and I was given a detailed reference from my boss once I left which I believe will greatly help with future job applications. The social aspects of the group were arranged excellently, there was never a moments silence! There is a Whatsapp group where you can arrange meals, drinks and nights out after work and everyone is of a similar age and of the same mentality that we had a very fun social life. The only sad part was leaving, so I extended my time in Hong Kong for another month! I have had the most incredible, once in a life time experience and made some lifelong friends around the world.
Enriching
February 27, 2015by: Chris Kamper - SydneyProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I found the experience as a whole great; on both a personal and professional basis I feel I have grown in ways I couldn't even articulate. In terms of living space I have had no problem. The apartment is small, however, it is clean, bright and all the appliances work well. Socially, HK has been fantastic. All the interns are extremely friendly and it was easy to socialise from the beginning as everyone is on the same boat (in terms of experiencing something new and being slightly nervous about it). The IHK staff have been very accommodating and friendly. They made is very easy to settle in to HK! The internship was great. The people I worked under were very intelligent and taught me a lot. However, in terms of constructive criticism, I would have preferred to be pushed harder at work. I do appreciate the flexibility and laid back nature of the job, I just feel as though I would have learnt a lot more if the nature of the work included deadlines, proper instructions, detailed feedback etc. Additionally, some form of remuneration (even if it be paid lunch) would obviously be a preferable arrangement. If IHK could guarantee paid internships, I think I would be able to get 100 students from my university to sign up overnight; it is the only downfall! With this said, a paid internship would provide incentive for the employers of the firm to push the interns and make sure they get their moneys worth. Holistically, HK has been great. As i stated earlier, the personal fulfilment and growth I have experienced is invaluable.
2 months in London England
February 25, 2015by: Alexis - OntarioWhat a wonderful way to start off 2015 in a new city, halfway across the globe. I wouldn't change a thing about my internship and am so grateful for the lifelong global friendships I have established as a result. The customer service provided by The Intern Group was superb as well as all of the social events that are already organized for you to enjoy during your stay. Being able to experience what it's truly like working in the field you are hoping to pursue is invaluable. I was welcomed with open arms to the company I worked for and every associate was more than willing to help and assist wherever needed. The city of London is forever rewarding, with new buildings/sights/attractions to explore on your weekends. Even in the coldest month of January, when I came to London, I never found myself bored or without something new I wanted to do. The transportation is very efficient and interconnected, allowing you to travel the city extensively without having to worry about losing your way. The accommodations are situated in a safe neighbourhood within reasonable proximity to tube stations/bus stops/grocery stores and more. The flats are clean and well-kept and are cleaned weekly which was a lovely addition. All in all, without hesitation I would recommend The Intern Group London to any recent graduate craving an international adventure with a beneficial academic pay off. You truly do get the best of both worlds.
Holiday Internship Hong Kong
February 25, 2015by: Zeals - MelbourneProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
My internship at Hong Kong was extremely memorable. The community managers and fellow intern group participants were extremely helpful and friendly. They made the experience of living and working in a foreign city significantly less daunting. The activities organised by the group outside of work were also extremely well organised and interesting showing just how wonderful of a city Hong Kong is and it is an extremely vibrant and lively city. Even if you work late into the evening there is still something to do in town. The actual internship was overall very enjoyable, the firm was extremely welcoming and taught me many things and I felt comfortable in the environment. The overall culture also made the entire experience extremely fun and enjoyable with the environment being relaxed while still having interesting work to do and learn from.
Hospitality Internship
February 25, 2015by: Al-John NgoProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I've had the best time in HK! This 16 weeks internship have made me a better person and I've gained so much knowledge and grown so much professionally, culturally and personally. I don't regret choosing IHK as my placement agency since they did such a great job helping me with visa application, school requirements and internship placement. They basically found a company for me to have my internship and it was a great F&B consultancy and management group, wherein I was taught basic management, marketing, accounting, retail and service. Also, it's great having the internship with them because everyone was so nice and welcoming. All the other interns with me were very well educated, open minded, friendly and fun. They built an intern community where everyone is like family. We also went out a lot and just enjoyed the internship experience outside of work. I've never felt more free and responsible. Basically, the best weeks of my life!
Intern Group Hong Kong
February 12, 2015by: Charlotte - BrisbaneProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The Intern Group was so amazing and helped with everything making the move easy and convenient. I had an amazing apartment in Sheung Wan (near central) so I was very close to all the nightlife and work was just a short trip on the MTR. I study accounting but I did my internship in luxury fashion wholesaling. I soon found out that this was a great combination due to the increased demand of luxury goods by people from mainland China. I recommend anyone seeking to get work in the fashion industry choose Hong Kong for this reason. I love Hong Kong so much! It's like the New York of Asia, they have the best people and the best parties. I'm going to be really sad to leave! Will miss all the friends I made on my journey. Plan on looking for work in Hong Kong or Shanghai in the future because I just don't want to go home!
Mergers and Acquisitions Intern
January 21, 2015by: Mike La Riccia - MelbourneProgram: International Internships in Madrid
From the internship placement to the housing and social aspect of the program, Intern Madrid and Thalassa gave me the best opportunity to gain the most out of the experience. Quality service and assistance when required. Highly recommend an internship with Intern Madrid for the best experience due mainly to the work of Thalassa.
An incredible opportunity in a one of a kind city
January 18, 2015by: Bryn Evans - Scunthorpe, North LincolnshireSimply interning abroad has benefited me immensly; beneffiting my workplace skills, life experience, confidence or simply gaining a unique addition to my CV. This program in particular however, is a must do with a well organised group of friendly staff at every step of the way offering a wealth of Intern positions across numerous sectors and a series of cultural excurisions that go above and beyond what you might expect. Medellin itself is a unique city currently experiencing strong growth and regeneration - it was voted the most innovative city in the world in 2012 - making Interning here now all the more unique of an experience. Overall a well run Internship program with plenty of exeprience to gain in a great city, I would definetly recommend applying here to Intern abroad
Tourism with a twist
January 14, 2015by: Tom.C - AlburyProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Being an intern abroad is one of the best things I can recommend to anyone! Experience the new environment like a tourist whilst boosting your education in an foreign workplace; learning new skill sets and making new connections and networks for the future. Not only this, but being able to 'slide right in' and get along with locals and embrace the local culture is one of the most captivating experiences of your intern journey. An internship abroad is not working 5 days a week with no fun. It's an experience that broadens your outlook on life, provides you with new skills and traits whilst also being able to experience the local sights and culture along the way. Tourism with a Twist. Interning with Initiative
Hong Kong Tech Industry Internship
January 04, 2015by: Duncan Brown - PurleyProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Had a really great time in Hong Kong, the intern group was a key part of that, providing the support I needed to feel comfortable working abroad for the first time. Really enjoyed my work and enjoyed the whole experience. Will be coming back to Hong Kong to continue working with PassKit in summer.
IT Intern in Investment Banking Sector
December 30, 2014by: Michael L. - BellinghamMy experience with The Intern Group – Latin America was overwhelming positive. The internship placement matched my unique career goals quite well, combining elements of financial services and IT. I was not able to focus on some of my areas of interest, such as credit analysis, as much as I would have liked since a previous intern had completed a project on that topic and the needs of the company dictated that I focus on IT-related tasks. That said, my coworkers were very helpful in teaching me about the business and supportive of ideas I brought to the table. I learned a great deal about the industry, and I have seen in job interviews since my internship that employers are impressed by the international experience. My time in Colombia far surpassed my expectations with regards to cultural immersion and excursions. Intern Latin America facilitated a number of social outings and encouraged interns to explore the country and take advantage of all it had to offer. There is so much to do so close by. Medellin will never bore you. In fact, I liked the city so much that I have already planned a return trip and am considering relocating permanently. Thank you, ILA, for the fantastic opportunity you have given me.
An amazing time in HK
December 28, 2014by: Shane D. Nelson - Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The Intern Hong Kong staff was attentive, responsive, and assisted with almost every aspect of my time in Hong Kong. Along with that, the position I was placed in has helped set a strong foundation for my future career goals. This journey was unforgettable! I plan on recommending this to any and everyone back home.
Full immersion in Colombia

Market research intern
December 07, 2014by: InterninHKProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
I did a 10 week internship in Hong Kong through the InternGroup and had a really amazing time. I am really glad I came in October, as we were all at similar stages with out education and the age of the group was early 20s, rather than undergraduates. Even though people came and left throughout my 10 week period the group of people were always really fun. The social aspect of the InternGroup was the best part of my experience, as I was not completely happy with my internship. The company was just at the start up stage and the amount and quality of work they offered me was not what I was hoping for. However, the overall experience of living and working in Hong Kong was great!
Gobiernacion de Antioquia - Secretaria de Equidad de genero
November 27, 2014by: Susana Cunha - LondonMy Internship could have been more organised, but saying that, I gained experienced and knowledge that has helped me not only know what exactly I want to do with my life, but also with my career prospects in general. Meeting people from all different backgrounds in a completely new environment, has made me grow while adapting to different cultures, way of working etc.
The amazing Hong Kong!
November 27, 2014by: Mr V.Program: Internships in Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is an absolutely amazing city to do an internship at. This city actually never sleeps on any day of the week so the first couple of weeks before settling into the Hong Kong life I didn't sleep either as there is so much to do. All the interns are very friendly and the staff (Steph!!!!!) are really nice. Steph is great and everyone loves her (even her "interesting" dancing). The actual internship was a great way to learn a lot of things in a very short time. Also its a great way to explore different jobs to see what you enjoy doing or not as you get to do all sorts of jobs that no one else in the company wants to do (I know I never want to do market research ever again). It was also nice working for a small company as you can actually see it progressing a lot over the short internship. PS. Steph and Yiyan are great
8 Amazing weeks in Hong Kong
November 25, 2014by: Annalisa - TortonaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
From my experience, I can affirm that the Intern Group Hong Kong is a very professional company!! During the whole internship process, the company demonstrates a real care of my needs, both from the professional and the human point of view. A the beginning, they provides me exactely the internship I was looking for, putting me in contact with high profile companies. Once you find the internship, the Intern HK take care of everything, visa and accommodation, making you very easy to settle in Hong Kong. Even if I was a little bit afraid by the huge distance from home, thanks to the its amazing staff, I met a lot of friends from all over the world and I shared with them amazing trips, parties and unforgettable moments! Here I found the perfect balance for a really amazing experience: a formative job, which allowed me to put in practice everything I have learnt during my university years and an amazing group of people to share with a full immersion in such an amazing country.
In Pursuit of Something New & Worth Having
November 23, 2014by: Roma Pilar - Makati CityProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
The Intern Group was a happy last minute blessing. Having not found anything that suits my fancy back home I pursued the opportunity and was rewarded with one of the best times in my life. The group and the program, I believe, is serious in what they intend to provide their interns. The process was easy to follow through and the coordinators are easy to reach out to. The people, the country, the immersion, the work was all so wonderful. Having this experience was worth all the expenditures, home-sickness and immense walking. To be here and to have done this was an awfully amazing adventure and I loved every bit of it.
Mind changing experience of living and working in Asia
November 12, 2014by: Anna - ValenciaProgram: Internships in Hong Kong, China
From the very beginning the Intern Hong Kong team was very professional and helpful. I have traveled a lot, studied my Masters degree abroad and attended numerous language courses across Europe, but my 6 weeks stay in Hong Kong was definitely one of the most comfortable trips i've ever made. The Intern HK took care of everything: visa, accommodation, networking events, so basically I was able to concentrate on work and exploring the city. Moreover, from my experience, I could say it actually makes a big difference when you have somebody local willing to help you 24 hours while living in a new country and facing a new culture. It was my first time in Asia, so of course, I was worried before coming to Hong Kong. When you don't know enough about the mentality&lifestyle getting around could be hard. However, thanks to Intern HK I met so many friends from across the globe and got to visit so many places, so actually Hong Kong felt like a second home for me right from the start. The thing I liked the most about the Intern Group is people. From my first interview with Kirstie Weston and to the moment I met the Intern Hong Kong team, Steph, Yiyan, Ryan, Kelvin everybody was so professional, attentive, caring and willing to help. The company I was interning for was really good, my boss and supervisor were amazing people. So it is actually a good thing Intern HK gets in touch with the company first, so when you start your internship you know its not going to be an odd random company with arrogant employees. By and large, I enjoyed every moment of my stay and learned a lot about Asian culture, people and business.
