An Unforgettable Adventure Abroad

I had an incredible time! It allowed me to build lifelong friendships with people from places I never imagined. The opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture and navigate life in a foreign country was both challenging and rewarding. Absolute Internship provided constant reassurance and support, making the experience much smoother, especially when adapting to being on my own. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking personal and professional growth abroad.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do not get too comfortable in a routine, keep things fresh and fun by trying some new ATLEAST once a week.
Pros
  • Gave me a chance to network and make new friends
  • Experience a new culture and perspective
  • Really good support and advice from Absolute Internship
Cons
  • The internship placement may not perfectly align with your personal career goals or skills (might be a good thing if you're looking to try something new).
  • While making connections with other interns is great, there could have been more opportunities provided to fully integrate or connect with Swedish culture and local professionals.
  • Wish I got to try more food and stay longer!

Best Life- Changing experience ever

Went here during my gap year, with no clue on what was out there in the world or what to expect. I learned SO much from this, from my career field to working in a team, managing tasks and meeting new people. The office was stunning, and Absolute Internship was always there to help and checked in too. I came back with a new sense of understanding, belonging and more. Truly a good experience for those who want to learn more about their field, themselves and even just have fun in general! Thank you so much Absolute Internship!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I attended a talk by THE Microsoft CEO, which was super cool. This was just on top of the other entrepreneurs who came by. On a more fun note, I went for the Eras Tour, boat rides, amusement parks, concerts, bars, camping (midsummer was amazing) and even a cruise!!
Pros
  • Life-changing
  • Fun and engaging
  • Learn more about the outside world and cultures
Cons
  • Homesickness
  • Unpaid internship
  • You won't want it to end!!

My Internship Abroad Experience

My internship in Stockholm was an incredible experience which I am deeply grateful for. I made lasting friendships with other students from all over the world, explored a new country, and worked with a company that was exceptionally welcoming. They equipped me with invaluable industry skills and hands-on experience, greatly enhancing my knowledge and confidence moving forward. Additionally, I was lucky to work with an extremely supportive team, making this experience both personally and professionally rewarding.

My Internship In Stockholm

What made my experience great and unique is I got in an industry I wanted with minimal effort and the lady I worked for was kind and gave me constructive work that was meaningful. What this company is doing well is doing a great job working hard to get students into fields they are interested in and are there for whatever questions and concerns the students have along the way. Another thing that made the experience unique is the social aspects of the program. Spending lots of time with students in the same program from other schools and seeing new countries with these students was a great way to meet new friends and create memories.

What was your funniest moment?
Biking with some friends and going too far that we had to hurry back before it got too dark.
Pros
  • Get to see beautiful countries while still developing your resume.
Cons
  • It was a bit stressful at times balancing everything going on in a foreign country.

Amazing Experience

During my internship in Sweden, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a dynamic and innovative work environment. The Swedish work culture, known for its emphasis on work-life balance, allowed me to grow professionally while also appreciating the importance of well-being. I was able to contribute to meaningful projects, and my ideas were welcomed and valued by my colleagues. The collaborative atmosphere and flat organizational structure fostered open communication and teamwork. Additionally, living in Sweden provided me with a deeper understanding of its rich culture and high quality of life. This internship was an invaluable experience that enhanced both my professional skills and personal growth.

Exceptional experience

It was an amazing experience since I could discover new culture, food, and people. Beside this the academic and professional experience gained from the internship is invaluable. I would say being friendly and ethical helped me gain trust and share the knowledge with my supervisor, which helped me a lot. Without forgetting the assistance of Absolute during my stay in almost everything, from information, tips and having someone to talk to! The best moments were the trips to Uppsala and Gothenburg.

Expanding my own horizons

Working international is a valuable experience for anyone. Here's why my experience was extraordinary:

With a perfect match with the internship company, I had set sails to a successful internship. The only downside on this was, that I found this match 4 Days before flying out to Stockholm, which made me very nervous. Special thanks here to the staff, who managed to calm me down multiple times.

Arriving in Stockholm, we got a helpful and informative introduction to the city and the internship from an on-site program manager.

Floorball is a sport very popular in the northern countries of Europe. As a player, it was a great honour and experience to play with a local team during my stay. This wasn't set up by Absolute Internship, but I would recommend you, to try and find a club of your sport to see how it's played in another country.

A big stress killer was the knowledge of having support from the Absolute Internship staff, even when they weren't on site any more. They checked in with us regularly and helped with problems with the company, accommodation and gave great tips for free time activities.

For me, the 2 career workshops, weren't helpful and more time-consuming, than a learning experience.

If it is worth the investment of the money: I can't say. For me, the University paid, but I do think that it is worth it.

Last but not least, I want to say that the bondage, you'll create with the other students in the program are very interesting, since you wouldn't meet such people any other way.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Step out of your comfort zone! Not only by going to the internship, but by doing stuff when you're there. Nobody knows you and if you do something weird or suck at an activity you do, nobody is going to remember it as soon as you're back in your home country.
Pros
  • Very well organized
  • Professional Staff
Cons
  • Late Internship placement
