CIEE Global Internships

My internship at the Bellbird Biological Corridor in Costa Rica has been an incredible journey of personal and professional growth. Immersed in the heart of Monteverde, a region renowned for its stunning cloud forests and rich biodiversity.This hands-on experience in sustainable practices, coupled with the opportunity to observe and participate in the local conservation efforts, has been amazing. This internship has not only enhanced my understanding of ecological preservation but also strengthened my skills in collaboration and cross-cultural communication.

I studied abroad and worked at The Podcast Studios in Dublin from June 16th to August 11th. I had a wonderful, well-rounded experience. CIEE is very flexible with student travelling abroad to different countries, I had an amazing and beautiful weekend trip with some girls I met from the program to Edinburgh, Scotland. I also went on CIEE's various trips to different cities in Ireland, like Kilkenny. They took us on a brewery tour, gave us some time to explore on our own, and organized all of the travel plans/expenses. My favorite trips/activities were those hosted by CIEE because they were paid for, almost everyone in my program went to them, and they were always a good time. In the last week of our trip, they organized a karaoke night, a picnic/beach day, and a farewell dinner to end off the week.

While the programs needs to improve their pre-departure communication. once arrived I had a blast. the staff is extremely supportive and kind. shout out to teddy for taking me to the orthopedist at 6pm last minute when I was getting bad pain in my arm. theres is some great opportunities to experience working and living in a foreign environment. make sure to be very clear in your internship placement meeting what your looking for if you want something that fits your goals and dont be afraid to ask questions.

CIEE made my trip in Seoul, South Korea amazing. From the extracurricular activities to my internship, this summer has been the best one of my life. They are a very reliable option if you want to have a good mix of extracurricular activities, study, and free time. I would recommend CIEE for anyone planning on study abroad. The staff themselves are a great example of the CIEE program and their mentality, and they have always made sure that we felt safe and comfortable. I am forever grateful to CIEE and the opportunities they have provided for me.

I cannot recommend this program enough! The pre-departure process was very easy and I was in contact with several people who were in charge of the program. By the time I left for Barcelona, I felt prepared. The orientation was very helpful and was a great way to meet other people and learn more about the city. I met several people through both my class and the activities offered through CIEE. Barcelona is a great city to study in and has a great nightlife, as well as beaches and restaurants. I will be very sad to leave both Barcelona and CIEE!

I met a lot of fun people and had the chance to explore the city really well. We were able to meet and interact with a lot of locals and were lucky enough to be here for the Euros, which was really fun to watch with the friends that we made here. We also had a chance to explore the continent which was really fun. The only issue was that CIEE wouldn’t give us the contact information of the others in our program before we arrived even when asked. Overall it was an experience I would relive if I could.

I was trying to find an internship abroad for a long time before I ran across CIEE, and I could not have been more grateful to have applied and been accepted into the program. The CIEE team are all great communicators with tons of support, and they help make sure that you have a smooth and fun experience abroad. Seville is also a gorgeous city with tons of things to do (although it does get a bit hot by the end of the program) but would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get an internship in Spain!

My internship experience in Singapore was nothing short of extraordinary. The helpful and welcoming staff, engaging events, and the chance to meet incredible people all contributed to an enriching and enjoyable journey. Beyond the fun and adventure, the internship provided invaluable professional growth and learning opportunities, equipping me with skills that will serve me well in my future endeavors. As I bid farewell to this captivating city, I carry with me a treasure trove of memories that I will cherish forever. Singapore has left an indelible mark on my heart, and I am grateful for the fantastic experience it has offered me.
