I come from France and it is was very challenging to find a suitable internship there. This program was very helpful for it connected me with a highly reputable corporation in Asia. I did not think I could have found this internship on my own. It was also a very enjoyable program for we had the opportunity to travel many times on the weekends and also after we completed our internships. After participating in this program I moved back to France and I was able to obtain a very good job here and I think the internship was very important for my success.

Last year I went to my University career center and they recommended that I look into this program. I applied on their website and they had a admissions coordinator work with me and figure out what kind of internship I wanted. I think they did a good job of being transparent about what positions were available for me because most of the other companies like them do not tell you anything and just want your money. The internship was really great and the housing other services were nice and what I expected. I'd recommend taking a look at this program if you want to travel and also get ready for finding a job after college.

I had a great time doing my internship with SK Pacific. I wanted to share this here because the program was a huge help to me getting a full time job in the US. I had been turned down by a bunch of companies for an accounting position, but after doing my internship abroad I was offered an great job in the Bay Area. I am honestly very thankful for the service that SK Pacific provided me and I HIGHLY recommend that any other college student give it a try.

I even got to travel to the most amazing island I've ever seen. Check out my picture...

Read my full story

Doing a summer internship with SK Pacific was one of the best experiences of my life.

I was able to build on my skills and add work experience to my resume, while traveling the region and meeting new people.

Having never traveled prior to joining the program, the package they offered made it easy for me to acclimate to a totally new environment. The housing they offered was comfortable and closely located to the central business districts. The other interns in the program also made the experience more fulfilling, as we were all able to explore and learn about a new culture as a group.

This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in gaining internship experience and expanding their cultural horizons!

What would you improve about this program?

Daily transportation to and from work could be a bit more streamlined.

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

I chose this program because it was an opportunity to travel to another country and experience an entirely new culture. The internship that was provided allowed me to expand my knowledge in finance and greatly helped in making my resumé look stronger for potential employers in my field. I also chose this program because it was an opportunity to be out on my own.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

My program provider assisted me with dates and extension for the tuition payments, and also provided me with a summary of cultural differences for the country I traveled too. They also connected me with my host company and explained the day by day for interns. All I was in charge of was buying my plane ticket.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

My advice would be for individuals to be open-minded. Traveling to another country can be a scary and intense experience and traveling with a closed mind can impact how an adventure can go. I went on my trip with an open mind and was excited to meet new people, try new food, and experience their nightlife.

Being open-minded really made the adventure one of my greatest experiences.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

An average day is working 8 hours in your host company and really gaining experience about the day to day of the company. My co-workers were the most welcoming people and really helped me fit in their company.

After work, I would hang out with my other peers and explore the area while meeting new people who welcomed us to their country.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

My biggest fear was traveling to a whole new country. I feared if their people would be welcoming, worried about how their currency works, and how I would get from place to place. The way I overcame this fear was by simply going out there and doing it and quickly adapting to how the country runs. Fortunately, my program adviser was able to assist with these issues and made my experience very easy to adapt too.

What would you have done differently?

The one thing I would have done differently was to have gone out more and explored other areas near Manila. I was able to explore Cebu as well and it was an amazing weekend.

My first month was full of adventures, but in my second month, I had decided to stay in. Although I enjoyed staying in and living by myself, I would love to have had explored what the Philippines has to offer, but I do not have any regrets.

Overall, it was an amazing trip.
