Intern Group Experience

I just wrapped up my internship in London with the Intern Group, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! They helped me find my internship super fast and were always checking in via email to make sure I was comfortable with interviews. The accommodation they set me up with in central London was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed! The event coordinators, especially Autumn and Peach, were fantastic at their jobs – super friendly and always quick to respond, even within 15 minutes. Overall, my time in London was fantastic, and I highly recommend going abroad! Don't worry about accommodations or making friends; the Intern Group has got your back!

London Experience

I loved my internship experience here it was challenging and exiting which helped me the most. Through this process I had a great support from Peach my london program manager. She supported me through giving us events to go to and a safe space to come to her with anything. I was able to go to her for advice about being abroad and career development. There was great support during my internship and i’m so grateful for this opportunity. I think the encouragement as well was a confidence booster that I can be independent here and not rely on anyone else.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t be afraid to travel on your own. You will learn so much about yourself when you do. Also don’t be afraid to meet those fun people while traveling around the country.
Pros
  • Learn something new everyday
  • Make new friends
  • Growing confidence in yourself
Cons
  • Home sick
  • Navigating living in new country with other social norms
  • Jet lag

Great Option for an Internship Abroad

I had a great experience with the Intern Group. I had some reservations initially about the program, as I was told I was best suited for an internship with a nonprofit company, which wasn't necessarily something that aligned well with my career goals. However, I ended up being paired with a language and technology company outside of the NGO sector that was extremely well-aligned with the interests I expressed in my CV and resume. I also really enjoyed the program events and meetups and was able to meet a lot of very cool people from all over the world. The program and event coordinators go above and beyond, and I wish I could have had more time getting to know them, as they are amazing people. I don't know if I would suggest this over studying abroad, but if you're looking for an international internship postgrad, I would 100% recommend it.

Chai

During my time interning in London, I experienced a period filled with joy, excitement, and a sense of achievement. From cultural outings to professional networking opportunities, this Internship ensured that I had access to experiences that broadened the horizons of my future career and deepened my understanding of a friendly working atmosphere. By the way, I truly appreciated how Peach not only organized a few fascinating activities besides my internship but also made sure I felt welcoming and secure.

Thanks for support and positivity

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Peach for being such a wonderful source of support and relaxation during my internship. While internships can often be stressful, Peach always had a way of making things feel lighter and more enjoyable.
Her cheerful attitude and great sense of humor brought so much positivity to my days, helping me unwind and recharge after work. Whether it was sharing a laugh, having a casual chat, or simply being there to listen, Peach made a real difference in making my internship experience not just productive but also genuinely enjoyable.

A Great Boost To My Portfolio

The Intern Group helped me get two different opportunities. When my first internship offer was rescinded after a higher-up quit, I packed, but I quickly got another interview offer. The role I ended up getting was much, much better. Instead of web content writing, I get to write stories, and several of my articles have been published already. I have been assigned stories across so many topics, from politics to travel, and have been able to carry out a couple of interviews. I knew the Intern Group would help me expand my CV, but I never expected this boost to my portfolio! Plus, as someone who hasn't been home in three years, having access to so many Latin markets has been really special. Plus, the trips we took with the group in the first week really helped me realise the tube was not all that scary.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Using the tube was anxiety-inducing, especially when I had to take multiple lines. One time, I got stuck in a station that was so below ground there was no signal, and so I couldn't look up my route in Google Maps. I climbed a couple of floors, got signal, took screenshots of all the details of my journey, and tried again. Now I always travel with screenshots.
Pros
  • Multicultural cuisine
  • Lots of things to do
  • Accessible
Cons
  • High cost of living
  • Crowded streets
  • Crime

Seamless and Enriching Experience with The Intern Group in London

I had a fantastic experience with The Intern Group. From start to finish, the process was easy, and the team's assistance was wonderful. Everyone was incredibly responsive and helpful with any problems I encountered. A special shoutout to Rachel for her outstanding support!

My time in London was equally memorable. The events organized by The Intern Group and the people I met were great and fun, allowing me to experience local entertainment and traditions firsthand. Kudos to Peach for making it all happen!

My only critique is that applying for an internship in the IT department for software development was a bit of a mixed bag. The uncertainty around whether the interview would be technical and not knowing the programming language until the interview were minor drawbacks.

Despite this, I would highly recommend anyone who is still on the fence to join the program. It's a valuable and enriching experience!

Great Time in London

I 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!
