Program Reviews

Becoming a virtual intern was not my plan initially but I believe it was the best option given the circumstances, and in retrospect I can say it has given me a new perspective in my professional life, not only because it was virtual but also because it was with an overseas company. Global Experiences continuously nourished this experience by providing supplemental videos, documents and meetings. They were constantly checking in and inquiring about the program and my work and responsibilities to ensure that it was a 10/10 experience, and it was!

This experience was great! Having different meetings with helpful input and discussion about resumes and work ethic really helped me get a better understanding of what to expect when entering the workforce. I felt as though I had a group of people behind me helping me all the way through this experience. I learned more about myself as an individual and as a worker and discovered my different strengths through this program. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would recommend it to all students.

The experience provided with a wide variety of information about places which I have never been to before. Observing and adsorbing cultures I have not yet witnessed in person. This was quite a unique opportunity. Sadly, if not for the pandemic, I might not have gotten this experience, as I may have been more busy with local matters, thus losing out on this opportunity. As such, a virtual internship is one of the most comfortable ways of learning about foreign cultures. It saves you the hassle of travelling and immigration, while still providing plenty of interactions with the local public there.

Overall, this program offered so many opportunities. From the pre-program support in resume, cover-letter, and Strength Assessment even before placement, to the virtual check-ins that offered career support and information, as well as networking time with other interns, there was so many valuable opportunities. Throughout the process, the team was so helpful, meeting with me to provide information and walk me through the preparation. Throughout, they also were very clear in offering support in the program.

This experience taught me how to stay connected with myself and take steps with intention throughout the way. The program emphasizes taking action whenever you feel there is room for improvement and teaches you how to stand up for yourself and ask for what you want. This experience built my confidence in who I am, as well as taught me to celebrate my strengths and cater to them to truly flourish as a person. I am very grateful I took part in this and felt so supported by everyone in the program.

An amazing experience that I would recommend to any college student seeking experience in the field for their resume. With the help of Global Experiences, they selected the ideal placement for me as an interning writer for the digital media outlet FM Hip-Hop. Even though the internship was virtual, GE offered me plenty of chances to meet other interns from various industries and fields and allowed us to share stories about our experiences as well as advice. Throughout my program GE reached out to me consistently to make sure I was entirely satisfied, and now at the end of my program I can without a doubt say that I was.

The experience helped develop my professional skills and introduce me to working for a business-oriented company. The GE staff was so helpful and always was there for anything. A bi-weekly meeting kept everyone engaged and allowed for a great opportunity to network and learn about other's experiences. I also enjoyed the content that GE provided virtually including an art and cooking session. I don't think there would have been a better program, especially for how convenient GE made the whole process.

Global Experiences found a great internship for me at Dublin City University. The overall experience was really useful in terms of personal and professional development. I think the skills learned working virtually are vital in the modern workplace and this was an opportunity to master them.
It was also really nice to have the opportunity to network with other interns. Global Experiences made sure that even though the internship was online, there was lots of opportunity to get to know people in your fields and other fields, and share your experiences and learn from others' experiences.

I had such a great experience interning with Barcelona Wedding this summer. The placement process was so smooth and they do all the work for you to find a company and role to help you achieve your internship goals. The team also gives you the tools you need to succeed in an international virtual internship and are always there to help you. Although I couldn't travel to Barcelona and work in-person, the virtual events and constant communication with my supervisor, other students and staff made this virtual program so rewarding!

I interned with Shamrock School, Nepal through global experiences’ virtual internship program. This was an entirely new experience for me, as it was my first ever internship. It was also a virtual one, which was quite disappointing at first, but turned out to be a great journey nevertheless. I thought the virtual internship program was great and everyone was extremely supportive and motivational. As an intern, I was constantly re-assured that I shouldn’t be nervous to reach out for help whenever I needed it. This support made my overall experience extremely enjoyable and kept me motivated!
