Popular Programs

Engineering

While engineering plays a pivotal role in driving progress, innovation, and sustainable development, Tanzania’s urbanization challenges include a lack of planned housing and poor public infrastructure. As an intern, you’ll collaborate alongside industry professionals assisting in the development of a fast-growing urban city while navigating underdeveloped and under-resourced infrastructure.

This is an in-country internship, with accommodation and select meals included.

Interning with Intern abroad HQ has been one of the highlights of my life thus far. I felt well prepared before traveling to the country of my placement, Tanzania, thanks to the staff that was readily available to answer any questions or provide support. The placement itself was absolutely incredible. I never felt unsafe or unsupported throughout the duration of my experience. The local team was kind, humorous, and genuinely really good people, whom I will remain thankful for in years to come. I can not recommend this experience with Intern Abroad HQ enough, as I have gained invaluable hands-on experience, had immense personal growth, and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Zanzibar is the most amazing island- the culture is so fun, with everyone dancing on the streets, doing flips on the beach, and singing afrobeat at the nightclubs. Intern Abroad was fun in particular because I was paired with the most amazing host family who made the best food, and I was put in the hospital to learn the culture and grow my pharmaceutical knowledge. From about 8-12 I would attend my volunteering position, I'd eat lunch at 1, and then from 2-7 I had free time to roam about Stone Town. I would for sure recommend- do this while you can and while you're young!

Pros

Local cuisine
Watching and learning afrodance
Understanding the Tanzanian healthcare system

Cons

Was paired with a boy just us two in my apartment
There were local pharmacy students who I had to share my mentor with
Make sure you don't go during rainy season

I absolutely loved my time abroad in Tanzania this summer. Compared to my many past experiences volunteering abroad, this has been the best journey I have had. I taught at a primary school called Assumption School that was rich with socio-economic diversity among the student body and staff. The children were absolutely adorable and completely fluent in English! I was so lucky to have had the opportunity to have had taught them and I wouldn’t change it for the world! I felt so well informed and well prepared for my work, and was lucky enough to be with other interns who brought so much positivity to the accommodation to the point where I was excited to not only go to work to see my kids, but also to come home and spend time with my new found family.

What would you improve about this program?

There is not a thing I would change! I really enjoyed my trip.

Response from Intern Abroad HQ

Hi Natalie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! It's awesome to hear that the teaching staff were so welcoming to you and assisted with so many aspects of your internship stay. I'm sure that your positive energy will also be missed by the team and your home-away-from-home.
All the best with your future plans!
Asante! From Dallas and the Intern Abroad HQ team :-)

Going abroad for an internship was one of the best things I could of done for my self growth. It opened me up to an environment that is completely new and full of opportunity. My supervisors were all helpful with answering questions and being a friendly face to see everyday. She checked in on me quite frequently to see how I was doing in my placement and overall. There is a lot of public transportation that will help you get anywhere you want. Everyone in the city who I interacted it were very friendly. I lived not too far from my work and the center of the city. The interns all got very close as well, which made Arusha feel like home. The experience was something I will treasure for a lifetime, and hopefully will get to do again sometime in the future. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested.

What would you improve about this program?

What I would improve is more structure at the shelter. When I got there I have never been in an environment where there was no structure, so I felt very lost in the beginning.

My last day at the shelter being given a conga (what I am wearing) and a certificate of appreciation

Response from Intern Abroad HQ

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

After graduating from university, I made the decision to move to the UK and ended up living in London for 5 years. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! London is such a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, and being so close to other European countries, the world really was my oyster. Coming from such a small country like New Zealand opened my eyes to so many different cultures and ways of living. I was pushed out of my comfort zone, forced to make new friends, travel the world, become more independent, and adapt to a whole new way of living. I made so many great memories and will forever treasure my time spent there.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Intern Abroad HQ has always been an environment that fosters creativity, teamwork, and new ideas. A company is only as good as the people it employs, so to be around colleagues that really believe in the work that they do, has only motivated me to be my best, not only professionally but personally too! Speaking to so many interns day to day has made me so much more confident and compassionate. I feel secure in voicing my ideas, troubleshooting problems, and contributing to overall company success.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

The feedback I receive from returned students is almost always related to their increased sense of self. Traveling abroad, being pushed out of your comfort zone, and trying something new force you to put a lot of faith in yourself and your abilities. Each participant's experience is different, with the highs and lows teaching valuable lessons about one's strengths and weaknesses. For many, completing an internship reinforces passions, hobbies, interests, and career paths. For others, it reinvigorates a love of language, art, or travel. Whatever the outcome, the opportunity to travel abroad expands perspectives, leaving you more culturally and self-aware.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

For me, I'd love to participate in one of the Social Work & Community Outreach Internships in Arusha, Tanzania. Interns can be placed in NGOs, rehabilitation centers, charities, and with community programs that provide assistance to address specific social issues such as alcohol and drug abuse, domestic abuse, youth pregnancy, and unemployment. Interns can help to improve access to vital healthcare services. Tanzania is such a beautiful country, so to be able to explore world-famous natural landscapes, all while giving back to the communities that make it so special, would be amazing.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

Intern Abroad HQ has come a long way since its establishment in 2017. In just 6 short years, we have established over 240 internship programs in 22 countries, and it all comes down to the hard work and dedication of those behind the scenes. Our office is full of young professionals who understand the struggle of landing that first job with little to no experience. The ability to relate to our interns, their struggles, and their motivation allows us to reflect more critically on programs and how we can provide the best service possible. We take pride in our programs and respect that people travel from all over the world, investing their time, resources, and energy into them. We take feedback seriously and continuously reflect on how we can improve our services to foster successful and positive experiences.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Motivation and enjoying the work you are doing. You have to believe you are making a difference and surround yourself with a team that shares the same goals, values, and objectives for success. Having a shared purpose gives employees something to work towards while also letting customers know what they stand for. At Intern Abroad HQ, we truly believe that an internship is an amazing way to gain practical experience and bolster your resume. Choosing an internship abroad or an international remote internship offers the additional benefits of gaining overseas work experience and broader cultural immersion, both of which will help you stand out to future employers. We track our success by the feedback and reviews our interns give us, so we’re motivated to ensure you have an unbeatable internship experience.
