Program Reviews

I spent an incredible month in China with CRCC Asia, where I interned at a dynamic startup focused on mobile games. My role involved coding projects, which offered invaluable hands-on experience. However, what truly stood out were the networking opportunities and the friendships I formed. We traveled around China, indulged in amazing food, and embarked on countless random adventures that made the experience unforgettable. Additionally, we had the chance to learn Chinese, which added a unique cultural dimension to the internship.

This experience was pivotal in my career. A few months after returning to university, it directly led to my first paid internship, setting me on a path towards a future of working abroad. When I reflect on my time there, I’m filled with fond memories and gratitude for this journey. I highly recommend CRCC Asia for anyone looking to combine career growth with cultural immersion and global connections.

I had an incredible two-month internship in Japan that exceeded my expectations. I got hands-on experience, learned so much from professionals in the field, and had the chance to explore the city on the weekends. I loved wandering through bustling markets, visiting stunning temples, and experiencing the vibrant nightlife. The city was alive with energy, and every day felt like a new adventure waiting to happen. The CRCC Asia support team was always helpful, and the other interns made the experience even better. It was a perfect mix of work, travel, and cultural immersion—I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and rewarding internship abroad!

Overall, I loved my time as a CRCC intern. I had the opportunity to meet other interns from around the globe while also had the chance to meet and talk with people that live and work in Japan. I really enjoyed my experience in Tokyo my favorite part of the CRCC internship program was the cultural events as this allowed me to learn more and appreciate Japanese culture. Throughout my process of enrolling into this program, meeting host companies, sitting interviews, and working with my host company, the staff were always with me if I ever needed assistance. The staff have been genuinely lovely and supportive and I really appreciate their kindness. I am delighted to have completed this program, it was my dream to live and work in Tokyo as in the near future I plan to move here full time. This program really helped me get a feeling for Tokyo living, appreciate the culture, work in the environment and meet some of the nicest people! I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in living and working abroad for a period of time:)

My CRCC Ho Chi Minh City experience was a dream come true! I really enjoyed the work I did at the company I was placed at and did genuine work that contributed to the company! The CRCC staff are super helpful and friendly! Plus the community volunteers they get to connect with us helped us deepen our understanding of the local spots….especially the cafes for me! I think if you’re thinking of going abroad and interning CRCC is a great company to do it with, comfortable housing and of course meeting great people and making lifelong friendships with fellow interns. 10/10 would recommend.

Anthony Bourdain's wisdom of being "a traveler, not a tourist," is the perfect way to describe my experience in Tokyo with CRCC. While I typically love backpacking when I travel, this program forced me out of my comfort zone to experience what is was like to live like a expat and thoroughly experience the all of the pros and cons of Tokyo. The program is pretty hands-off when it comes to your internship and activities - which is something I appreciated but some may prefer more involvement. Overall, I highly recommend this program to those who can afford it (many schools have scholarships for this !!). At the end of my time though, it was really the friends I made who really made my experience.

I had a wonderful experience and felt that the CRCC staff was supportive during my entire time in Vietnam. I felt like I grew a lot as a person and learned from being in a completely new culture. This experience taught me the importance of embracing new surroundings and preparing for adversity, as well as asking for help when unsure about something. My internship placement was incredibly rewarding and taught me many new skills that I will carry on with me in my future professional career. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to broaden their cultural diversity

I had the incredible opportunity to intern with CRCC Asia in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was an experience I will cherish for a lifetime. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and support from the CRCC Asia team, making me feel right at home in this vibrant city.

One of the standout features of this internship was the cultural immersion. Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling metropolis with a rich history, and CRCC Asia ensured that I not only worked on meaningful projects but also had ample opportunities to explore and appreciate the local culture. Whether it was trying delicious street food, visiting historical landmarks, or learning about Vietnamese traditions, every day was a new adventure.

The professional growth I experienced during my internship was remarkable. I was placed in a dynamic work environment where I was able to apply my skills and gain valuable industry-specific knowledge. The mentorship and guidance provided by my supervisor were instrumental in helping me develop both personally and professionally.

What truly made this internship unique was the strong sense of community among fellow interns. I made lifelong friends from around the world, and we supported each other through our challenges and successes. The cultural and social events organized by CRCC Asia allowed us to bond and create lasting memories.

For future participants, I would like to emphasize that this internship is not just about gaining work experience but also about personal growth, cultural immersion, and building a global network. Ho Chi Minh City, with its unique blend of tradition and modernity, is an ideal backdrop for such an enriching experience.

In conclusion, my internship with CRCC Asia in Ho Chi Minh City was an unforgettable journey filled with professional development, cultural exploration, and lifelong friendships. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to broaden their horizons and embark on a transformative adventure.

My time in Seoul as part of the CRCC Asia Program is one to remember. Going to Seoul, I was nervous and sad about leaving home. From the moment I landed, I was greeted with a positive attitude and a very enthusiastic program manager. The people I met during my time in Seoul (on the same program and the Korean buddies) are life long friends, and the experiences we shared together will be memories we will cherish forever! To sum it up, the program has taught me life long skills, and connected me with a network from another country. A tip from me is to be proactive and find a company you want to work with! I ended up suggesting to the manager a few architecture firms to contact and I ended up with a very highly regarded firm in South Korea.

To sum it up, you will no regret going on this program!

As my first time living abroad going to England taught me quite a few things. Like how to navigate a foreign country and how to make my own travel plans. If I were to do it again I think I would have wanted to do an Asain country because I felt that England was very similar to America in many respects. I absolutely loved the people I worked with, and the people on my program. I know I enjoyed my internship, but it can be hit or miss as some students disliked theirs. It can also get a bit expensive so do be prepared for that.

From the start till the end it was a very wonderful experience both professionally and socially.
I had the time of my life because I made lifetime friends and the vibrant city of Manchester was a wonderful city with lots of events and activities to do.
The internship program had quite a number of events and activities that were worthwhile and very educational like charity walks and volunteering opportunities which is good for your resume.
Thank you CRCC ASIA for a lifetime experience..... Andrea you made it happen.
