Amazing Experience

This was a fantastic experience in Madrid. The intern group was a great organization to pick as my host. They ensured I was comfortable and listened to me whenever I addressed any issue. Upon coming here, I thought that my main purpose was my internship, however it's everything. It is about experiencing the culture—especially the cuisine, architecture, and nightlife—which Spain has in abundance, and meeting the people (who are incredibly nice, even to non-fluent Spanish speakers like myself) lol. Also, living and embracing another way of life was very eye-opening and informative. All of this, combined with the company I worked for, made up my internship experience in Madrid, and it was incredible. Finally, Lalita and Nikte are amazing women, and you couldn't be in better hands as you embark on this journey.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind and let the experience shape you in unfamiliar ways. Also, remember that you are very much in charge of how much you want to experience during this trip. Yes, your coordinators will organize activities for you, but we are all unique individuals with our interests and definitions of fun. So, do your research and explore Madrid in ways that you love (and don’t be afraid to explore on your own). For example, I visited flea markets because of my love for vintage jewelry and explored various perfumeries around Madrid. These were some of the things I loved and made sure to experience. You are the author of this journey, so make sure to write a beautiful story!
Pros
  • Amazing Cuisine
  • Wonderful Nightlife and Historical Sites
  • it is WALKABLE
Cons
  • it is hot
  • You might get sick just because of a change in environment, so budget for that!

My Internship in Melbourne

The program was incredibly well structured and there was always support available when I needed it. I enjoyed the events and excursions, especially the trip to the Yarra Valley. The entire experience was seamless and I was paired with an excellent organization that encouraged and facilitated professional development. The Intern Group was amazing and made it easy to find a fantastic internship abroad.

This program has given me the support and confidence to grow and flourish both professionally and personally. My experience coordinator has been integral in this, she has been professional, competent, and efficient, as well as a great friend and a lot of fun.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Seeing Koalas for the first time
Pros

NYC has my heart <3 Thank you, The Intern Group!!

NYC has my heart <3

Spending two months in New York City for my summer internship was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I arrived, the city’s energy was infectious. Every day brought a new adventure, whether it was navigating the bustling streets of Manhattan, grabbing a slice of pizza from a corner joint, or simply soaking in the diverse culture that NYC has to offer.

The internship itself was a deep dive into the professional world, and being in the heart of NYC only amplified the experience. The pace was fast, the expectations high, but the rewards were immense. Working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry was inspiring, and I learned more in these two months than I could have imagined. The opportunity to network with professionals from various backgrounds opened my eyes to new possibilities and directions for my career.

Beyond work, the city itself became my playground, and it was made even more enjoyable by the incredible people I met along the way. I was fortunate enough to forge friendships with individuals from all around the world, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences to the table. These friendships, built over just two months, feel like they’ll last a lifetime, and they truly made my time in NYC even more special.

Living in NYC also taught me the art of balance. The city that never sleeps can be overwhelming, but it also offers endless opportunities to recharge, whether it’s a quiet moment by the Hudson River or a late-night jazz session in a cozy bar. I found myself growing not just professionally, but personally, as I navigated the challenges and embraced the thrills that came with city life.

By the end of the internship, I realized that NYC had become more than just a backdrop to my summer—it had become a part of me. The memories, the lessons, and the connections I made will stay with me long after I’ve left the city. NYC has claimed a piece of my heart forever, all thanks to The Intern Group. I’m grateful for the experience and the unforgettable memories:)

From meeting other amazing interns to working at a firm that met my professional goals, I was able to gain new professional and personal skills that I will carry to the next stage of my life. There is so much to do in Madrid, filled with culture and amazing food. Lalita and Nikte were so helpful in ensuring we had a great time here with the events. It does get really hot in the summer but the experience is so worth it. Recommend traveling to other cities in Spain while you’re here!

Once in a lifetime experience

Going to New York for an internship is one of the best decisions I have made. My workplace was really supportive, and the whole process from the interview to onboarding was smooth. Not only that but the amount of activities and fun you get to do within the city is incredible. And if i ever needed help at any time, my programme mentor responded to me very quickly. The lessons and online classes the intern group provides definitely help with your overall professional resume as well. I definitely do recommend

Good opportunities

I had an incredible experience with the InternGroup in Tokyo. The staff was exceptional, providing continuous support and assistance in all aspects of my internship. My internship was equally fantastic; the company I worked for significantly contributed to my growth by enhancing both my skills and knowledge. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in Japanese culture, exploring the diverse food, and learning about the rich traditions. The whole experience was enriching and memorable, making my time in Tokyo truly amazing.

Amazing experience in Madrid

The internship was truly a one of a kind experience, In the 6 Weeks I was there I grew as a person worker and much more due to the cultural immersion and work experience I was luck enough to participate in. The Madrid intern group was there every step of the way and very helpful throughout the whole process.

Madrid is a beautiful city with tons of things to do no matter what your interests are, the food is amazing the public transportation is very accessible and easy to navigate.

Overall I had an amazing time made several great connections and would recommend this experience to anyone thinking of participating in an internship abroad
