Internships in New York with The Intern Group

Make sure to participate in everything you can. Whether it's an Intern Group activity or one organized by co-workers, or even one you find for yourself, take every opportunity to immerse yourself in your surroundings. There's so much to see and do, both in New York City, and in the other Intern Group locations around the world.

Every opportunity is a chance to learn and grow -- take advantage of it!

During the weekdays, the interns go to work at their companies, learning everything they can. Then, on the weekend, everyone gets together to go do something fun, whether it's a visit to a museum, or go on a sightseeing cruise, or check out the cultural hotspots of the city -- there's always something new and exciting.

My biggest fear was not being able to handle it. New York City is a pretty extreme jump from my hometown, and I was worried about being overwhelmed.

Fortunately, meeting with the other interns helped to set my mind at ease. I wasn't the only one in a strange new world, I had other people here sharing my experience, who I wouldn't have known otherwise.

The Intern Group staff were also extremely helpful, happy to answers questions or break down the essentials of the city for anyone who needed them. It made it much easier and less confusing to navigate - now, I see being thrust into this enormous city as one of the most exciting opportunities of my life, armed with the knowledge that I can work through the overwhelmingness of it.
