Amazing with GoAbroadChina

I came to China for an Internship in Finance at an investment company. I chose China because the Chinese economy is booming and it is the best destination now. I decided to use GoAbroadChina services because their program was the most suitable for me and offered more options for Internship Programs. Also, the extra activities that GoAbroadChina provides are more tailored for young foreign people. I am double majoring in Real Estate and Finance, my Investment Internship really completes my academic background. I’m sure my internship will help my future development.

I really liked the GoAbroadChina program a lot and my experience was so much more than I expected. I wish I could stay more and explore more because there are so many things to see. My Home Stay family was very nice and I’d say the whole thing was once in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My Chinese classes were very helpful, especially because there was a great environment to practice. After staying in China and meeting many people I’ve really started to think about my future career in China and keep learning the Chinese language.

Great career growth opportunity for university students

I had an incredible experience with absolute internship during my internship program in Barcelona in the summer of 2022 while studying at the University of Kent. The team was exceptional in helping me choose the perfect program, tailored to my interests and career goals. This internship provided me with valuable opportunities for both personal and professional growth. I gained practical experience, developed new skills, and built connections with like-minded individuals in my field. It also gave me a significant confidence boost as I took my first steps toward my career. Beyond the professional benefits, one of the most memorable aspects of the program was traveling with fellow interns and exploring the beautiful cities of Spain on weekends. These adventures added an extra layer of excitement and created lifelong memories. I highly recommend absolute internship to students and young professionals looking to kickstart their careers. It's a fantastic way to grow, learn, and experience life in a new and vibrant culture!

Summer to Never Forget

It was an amazing summer and program. It was a great time and the placement was fantastic. Housing was amazing and the cultural activities were unforgettable. I remember being greeted by the program advisors, and they made the transition to a foreign country seamless. Furthermore, they helped us adapt to the country, feel comfortable with our placement, and navigate the city with a dominant foreign language. I had so much fun and met so many great friends who were also participating in the program.

Transformative Internship Experience

My experience with Absolute Internship was phenomenal. The support before, during and after my experience was more than I could have ever planned on. I was provided the opportunity to intern at a company in my field of study, marketing, and preferred industry, fashion! I learned valuable hands on professional skills while growing personal skills. I can not recommend an internship abroad with Absolute more to any undergraduate student interested in gaining cultural understanding and working experience.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take the risk! Soak in every moment because the time flies and once you are home, you will wish everyday you were back.
Pros
  • Valuable professional internship experience
  • Opportunity to travel Europe
  • Met lifelong friends and mentors

Absolute Tokyo

My time with Absolute Internship was amazing and really eye opening both in the work force, learning new skill and technique but also socially, meeting a wide range of people who I now cherish. I was placed in Tokyo, Japan the opportunities this granted me while out there have become core memories for the rest of my life. I worked remotely which was surprisingly helpful as I could manage my work a long side trips. It meant the world to me to see parts or my childhood like Pokémon and Nintendo all around me. So from day one I could tell it was going to be an unforgettable trip. Additionally, the friends that I made along the way elevated my experience even more!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Experiencing the work time rush on the trains was a crazy experience but as long as you stay focused and confident you'll be just fine!
Pros
  • Amazing support from staff
  • Friends for life
  • Travel opportunities
Cons
  • Expensive

The best thing I did this summer!

Doing an internship with Absolute Internship this summer is the best decision I have made for my personal and professional development! I spent a month in Barcelona as a marketing intern where I was able to spend time in industry and meet amazing people from across the globe.

I heard about Absolute through a Global Opportunities session at my university. I first explored a few different companies but from the start the team at Absolute Internships was engaged and happy to answer my questions. They helped me find an amazing company to work with and helped me get ready for the trip through briefing sessions. There was a period of quiet in between being placed and gearing up to start, but it was good to know I could reach out with questions if I had any.

After landing in Barcelona and meeting the Program Coordinators I felt comfortable. It was scary to travel on my own but the transport to our accommodation was a great way to meet my fellow interns. We had a nice meal to get to know each other and a city-wide scavenger hunt in teams helped introduce us to the city at large. Our program coordinators were on hand if we had any questions, which was very reassuring. The accomodation was lovely with great facilities on site and nearby. Being able to go for a swim in the pool after working remote was very refreshing!

My internship company was a perfect match for what I wanted to gain experience in. Being able to create content to a brief and have constructive feedback at every stage really helped me feel more confident. I quickly was able to get involved in the brand and am proud of the work I delivered. Putting theory into practice has made my third year at university much more productive as I can better understand key concepts.

I could not recommend this experience enough to anyone who is interested in travelling and gaining experience in their field! Absolute Internships was the perfect summer experience and has led me to further opportunities which is improving my career.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
A magical moment for me was visiting Sagrada Familia at night with a friend who had come to visit me and seeing someone playing the violin. It just struck me how special this time is.
Pros
  • Excellent experience
  • Supportive Staff
  • Beautiful city to explore
Cons
  • Working while on holiday took away from being able to explore

First time traveling abroad

Absolute Internship was the best way for me to get comfortable traveling abroad. It gave me the opportunity to grow personally and professionally in ways I never expected. I had an amazing time getting to know people from all around the world, seeing iconic landmarks, and becoming fully immersed in the rich and diverse culture of the United Kingdom. Each day offered something new, from exploring historic sites to trying local cuisine and connecting with people from different backgrounds. I would highly recommend Absolute Internship to anyone who is ready to step outside their comfort zone, try something new, and experience what it truly means to live and work abroad. This experience gave me the confidence to navigate unfamiliar environments, adapt to new situations, and embrace the challenges and joys that come with international living. It’s a journey I’ll cherish forever and a step I’m so glad I took.

The best decision I ever made!

I highly recommend Absolute for anyone considering an international internship experience! My internship in Lisbon, Portugal, was incredibly enriching. I made lifelong friends through work, immersed myself in Portuguese culture, and got to see countless amazing places.

Lisbon itself is a fantastic place to live and work, with its unique blend of city life, beaches, nightlife, rich history and culture, and beautiful natural scenery. The people here are warm and friendly, and I felt so welcomed everywhere I went. I wish I’d known more Portuguese before coming, but I picked up so much during my time here!

Navigating the city was easy, thanks to its excellent public transportation system, which made it simple to explore Lisbon and beyond. Absolute went above and beyond to organize cultural activities and trips, adding so much value to our stay and helping us feel at home in this amazing city.

The Absolute staff was also very accessible, always available to discuss any questions or concerns. They even organized mixers where we could connect with coordinators and fellow interns, which helped us build relationships and made our experience even more enjoyable. If you're considering an international internship, I can’t recommend Absolute and Portugal enough!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
While most people speak English, it is so rewarding and appreciated to be able to communicate in the local language! I learned a lot of Portuguese during my time here, but wish I would've come with a bit more under my belt so that I could be that much more advanced.

Japan is a Wonderland

The company and the people was the best thing about my experience I met so many amazing people in Japan and created such special bonds with everyone! I could not begin to describe how rewarding the whole experience was. As a Computer Science student at "Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education" I worked at "Irvine Systems" company in Tokyo from August 2024 to Decemeber 2024 I found this opportunity through the internship agency "Absolute", it was so much fun, I learned a lot of things, developed new skills, grew as a person, and made many great friendships while I was there. So many memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Japan has such a unique and authentic culture and getting to experience it was amazing!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Internshipping in another country with such unique culture like Japan is the most life changing experience one can have
Pros
  • Looks great on CV
  • Makes great friendships
  • Gets fully immersion in another culture
Cons
  • Housing may not be the best
  • Long Programs may not include as many experiences as short programs
  • I lost contact with the internship team for most of my stay

The internship abroad that changed my life

The beginning of my journey abroad was filled with adjustments. Entering new environments had its fair share of challenges. Navigating how to allocate time for myself, enjoying the company of new friends and settling into my internship all required a balance to be struck.

Although this time abroad was a step out of my conform zone, it has allowed me not only to gain experience in the non profit field but also grow on an individual level. I have had to the chance to disconnect to learn more about myself and how I may begin to picture my future. I have had the ability to grow a more profound appreciation for life and all the little moments it has to offer.

This opportunity has granted me to gain insight into the working of the Housing First Project and the remarkable work it yields. I have had the chance to be welcomed into the Crescer organization even if it was just for a short time. A team of passionate and driven individuals who have truly been an inspiration to me. Most importantly, I have had the privilege to have gotten to know the people participating in the project. They have welcomed me not only into their homes but also into their hearts.

An unforgettable experience that wouldn’t be possible without the Absolute Internship Company. Their guidance helped immensely with the adjustment as well as facilitating opportunities to explore the beauty that Portugal undoubtedly has to offer.
