Program Reviews

Intern Abroad HQ was an engaging and affordable program. Throughout the process of the internship, they ensured participants were supported by staff members. The internship placements themselves were flexible and facilitated the cultural growth and awareness of participants. Not to mention, the accommodations were excellent. Overall, I was able to enjoy livening in the city, gain knowledge of the culture, and establish connections with the locals who I worked with. I would recommend this internship to anyone!!

I recently completed a medical internship with Intern Abroad HQ and had an exceptional experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the initial application process to the completion of my placement, the support and guidance provided by Intern Abroad HQ were outstanding. The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive, ensuring that all my questions were answered and that I felt prepared for my journey.
The internship placement itself was well-organized and tailored to my academic and professional goals. I had the opportunity to work in a dynamic and supportive environment that allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge to real-world situations, significantly enhancing my skills and confidence.
I highly recommend their programs to anyone looking to gain valuable professional experience, develop cross-cultural competencies, and make lasting memories. Intern Abroad HQ truly provides a comprehensive and enriching internship experience that prepares individuals for future academic and career success.

I've had an amazing experience with InternHQ, providing an excellent service that has enabled me to pursue my field of specialty. My local team ensured my accommodation and arrival was smooth whilst answering any questions I had along the way. During my internship, I had met new friends from all over the world through placements and the fantastic activities and classes provided throughout the duration. There were challenges along the way for example, language barriers and adjusting to a new environment with unfamiliar faces however the local team ensured you are never left alone and guide you along the way to give you the best experience possible. I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

My experience was very beneficial to my career and life as a whole. I learned more than I thought I could've learned in the world of business and sales. Ireland is a beautiful country with great people. My coordinator and local team did a fantastic job at helping me and supporting me with the internship and any questions I had about it. The company and the host family were great and treated me well. I would highly recommend this internship in Dublin to everyone. I would 100% visit Ireland again.

My internship through Intern Abroad was a truly rewarding experience. I gained valuable knowledge and skills while contributing to a meaningful organization. I really appreciated the supportive and collaborative work environment at the organization and I felt encouraged to ask questions and take on new challenges. I would definitely recommend this internship to anyone interested in microfinance or community banking projects in the development space. The support from Intern Abroad was exceptionally and I would highly recommend them.

I have just returned from the best 6 weeks in Gondwana Game Reserve (South Africa) completing the 'GIS and Reserve Management' internship, run by Intern Abroad HQ and Wildlife Ecological Investments (WEI). During my time in Gondwana, I gained valuable insight into how conservation practices work within a reserve, I have developed my GIS mapping skills to new levels via a lecture series and research report, and also improved my cultural awareness and communication skills in a mixed- nationality camp. On top of this, I have come away with some amazing memories and close up animal experiences. The highlight of my trip would have to be the sunset drives every Sunday, where we drive to a viewpoint and watch the African sun setting over Gondwana's beautifully hilly landscape. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would recommend this internship to anyone who wants to learn or improve their GIS mapping skills, and is passionate about applying this in a conservation setting.

I'm writing this 4 months into my 6 months on the Sustainable Business and Environmental Tourism Internship in Quepos, Costa Rica and I can safely say I've made the best choice I could have. The internship has been really interesting and I've been supported well throughout. Intern Abroad provide weekly reflection reviews for the first 12 weeks which really make the experience useful in developing my own professional skills. On arrival, travel was arranged for me and the accommodation has been fantastic throughout with lovely food. I feel like I've really immersed myself in the culture and helped make a difference to the company while learning a bit more about the business practices needed for a charity.

The internship was advertised as educational with conservation opportunities. That is not at all what I got. It was a scuba diving vacation with no other structured activities and all the other interns got drunk every night of the week. All optional activities costed lots of money and if you didn’t want to pay for it you sat at home bored. There was not much to do in camp and not much to do in the small town we were located in. The internship description said they provided food (which they did) but it was so basic I couldn’t even make a legit meal out of the ingredients.The company that hosted the internship in country forced me to pay a lot of extra money upon arrival for things which were not disclosed beforehand. I felt like it was a waste of time and money and do not recommend.

This experience has helped me develop my understanding of how an organization operates in every way possible. During my internship I helped with market research in Mexico for companies that would be good prospective customers. I chose to participate in this remote internship because it allowed me the freedom to work from home, while getting involved in a field I love with an international company. Reflecting on the experience, I'm most proud of my professional growth and all the knowledge I gained. I feel really good with this experience and how much it has helped me in a professional and personal way.

Morroco is the perfect country to do your internship in. It is a beautiful country and filled with amazing people. Intern abroad made sure of our safety and that we were staying in a fabulous morrocan riyad. This internship helped me gain a huge amount of experience which I know will help me with my future ambitions. I also made many new friends along the way and experienced the different cultural aspects of the country. The food in morroco is also very lovely and there are many restaurants all over Rabat.
