AIFS Abroad Reviews

My virtual internship with Global Experiences exceeded my expectations. I was placed with a company that is closely related to my passions and GE gave me all the support. Besides that, the meetings with Global Experiences staff were surprisingly fun and insightful! I also had the chance to connect with other interns.
I wholeheartedly believe this experience had a very positive impact on my career prospects and I can barely believe how much I've learned in 8 weeks, even though I did not even leave my house.

I thought this was an amazing experience I got to learn and work with a company in Italy. I helped work on their marketing team and work on their marketing platform. I also got to advertise in the United States for them on a crowdfunding project. I thought it was incredible and helped me network and meet new people. All the staff are so nice and help guide you through everything at Global Experience. They make sure you are well prepared and always are staying in contact. This was a 10 out of 10 internship and I would never take it back.

Everyone I met and talked with at GE Virtuoso and Global Experiences genuinely cares about their participants and the work they are engaged in- its incredible! I felt so taken care of throughout the experience- from first email exchanges to interview prep to check ins to culture seminars! I was matched with a wonderful non-profit organization in Ireland, and I felt so welcome and at home there (even just through a virtual internship)- so much so that I plan to go back and work for them in the future. I feel like my work actually helped people, and I am grateful for everything I learned.

The GE Virtuoso program was an invaluable experience. The GE team matched me with the perfect company in London to fit my interests and career goals. Through check-ins and workshops, the GE team really set all of us interns up with the tools and resources to help us succeed in the digital work environment. My projects were challenging but I felt supported and encouraged from day one by both my host company and the GE team.
If you are looking for an international experience or a regular internship, I 100% the Virtuoso program.

This program is one I would recommend to anyone. It was a very engaging experience and really set me up to succeed in my internship. I learned more about myself and the skills I have that made my internship very successful. The virtual internship allowed me to better enhance my technological skills and everyone at GE was very supportive. They provided me with information throughout my entire experience that allowed me to get the most out of my internship. This is an experience I will always remember.

GE Virtuoso provides an amazing platform for the participants of their program. I felt confident in myself and my ability to thrive in my virtual internship thanks to the insight and training they provided prior to my internship. Having never experienced a virtual internship, I was both nervous and excited to see what was to come. By working remotely, interns have the freedom to work from wherever they want to as long as they have internet connection. This allowed me to take trips during the week that I normally would have not been able to take working in-person.

GE did an excellent job in placing me in my internship and supporting me along the way! They were quick to smoothly transition to an online platform in the wake of COVID-19. I ended up interning with an environmental NGO in Costa Rica, which couldn't hav been a better fit! I am majoring in Environmental Studies and Spanish and was able to learn a lot in both of these areas. Although the internship was not in person, I gained a lot from GE's program such as meeting on Zoom with GE's CEO and other international professionals. We also had some professional and personal development workshops where we learned about workplace cultures and talked with other interns about our experiences! I felt so supported throughout this process and never felt alone! Would definitely recommend!

This program was worth it! The team from Global Experiences works hard to ensure that you have the right internship placement. Their team was more than supportive, and they challenged us to come out of our comfort zone to gain and take advantage of the tools they provide. Throughout the weeks of my internship, GE had regular check-ins to ensure that students were thriving and encouraging each other during this time of the pandemic. One of my favorite activities was the cooking class. I learned a few international recipes from these activities that I will never forget!

A virtual internship with Global Experiences is genuinely a fantastic option that allows you to develop your remote working skills, digital tools, and build a family around the world. I feel so happy to have experienced my first virtual internship with such a supportive, friendly, and professional team! During my time at Global Experiences, they made it easy to secure a great International internship. This gave me the chance to expand my perspective and gain a different cultural experience. My time with GE Virtuoso was surely an experience that I will always cherish...

This program was really an awesome opportunity. The projects were creative and challenging without feeling tedious. The staff is really supportive and will help you along the way if needed. The staff will also help you with resumes and cover letters which can be useful in the future. I definitely learned a lot not only about my field of work but also about other cultures. The weekly weekly journals are a good way of reviewing what you have done and the logs allow you to see the progression of your work from the beginning of the summer until the end.
