Internship in Madrid

Living and working inMadrid was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I had the most incredible time working during my internship and met amazing people along the way. This program not only pushed me to get out of my comfort zones and grow but also have the best time while doing so. Would definitely recommend if you are thinking about working abroad! The Madrid program also offered fun meet ups to get to know other interns and explore a few cities around Madrid which was very helpful in getting to know our new city.

Environmental protection

I had such a great time doing the internship last year and made so many great memories and learned so much. Everyone I talked to to get into the program was very helpful. The trips and events that the program had were always a lot of fun. I got to research environmental protection impacts and see if they could be implemented around Spain. It was a learning experience to be able to work with so many people with different backgrounds. I am currently working full time for an environmental construction company using what I learned in Madrid in my workplace.

Madrid Internship

I loved everything about the program. As an international student, I was so nervous about my arrival and meeting new people. But everything about it was great, I feel like I’ll never forget this experience and I am so thankful for the amazing relationships that I made. I learned so many things and Madrid is one of the best cities in the world. I recommend this program without any doubts, and if I could, I would repeat it a thousand times. Eternally grateful for the opportunity and the experience that I gained! <3

Madrid Internship

Living in Madrid for the past two months has been the best summer of my life! When I first arrived I was so nervous about adapting and making friends. Everyone in the program and the people of Madrid are so welcoming and friendly. I felt right at home immediately. The program directors at the Intern Group were great at organizing events to get everyone together.

As for my internship in particular, I loved working with kids at a for a not for profit. Working with kids helped me to learn so much about myself and improve my Spanish.

Loved it.

Thanks for everything, truly a wonderful experience. Lots of learning curves along the way but overall a very immersive and educational time here in Madrid. Met lots of kind and welcoming interns and co-workers. Madrid is truly a sight to see and there are many new things to try. I was here for over 6 weeks and it still didn't feel like enough to explore everything I wanted to see. Would love to come back here to work again or just visit. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity and experience guys! :)

Madrid Internship

I had such an amazing time in this city! The intern group was great at supporting me throughout this journey and making sure I adjusted. There is always so much to do and see. The night life is some of the best in the world and there are so many historic sites to see. The people are super friendly and welcoming, I never felt out of place here. I hope to return soon!

My internship was so amazing I worked with children in at an NGO for two months and learned so much about myself as well as children.

Hong Kong Internship

I had a great time, all the activities were organised super well and I felt supported to go about the city on my own through the programs help and guidance! It made the experience feel seamless and let me meet many people in a safe environment. I was able to enjoy my internship which they guided me in choosing so that I would get the best option for my trip and made sure that I was never stuck for things to do! From hiking, Temple tours and many great restaurant experiences, it was all a fantastic time that I enjoyed thoroughly!

Unforgettable experience in Tokyo

This is my experience in Tokyo Program.
Really recommend if you, like I was, are looking for a international experience.
Fast and easy to apply, within 3 months everything was scheduled for my program.
The TIG team in Tokyo is great, especially the experience coordinator Erika. Professional and easy going person, always ready to help if issues happen.
I had some misunderstandings during my the placement with the internarional team at the beginning of the process (that's the only reason for the 4/5) but no big deal.
Of course there are things that can be managed better, but for what concerns the overall experience in Tokyo is a 100/100.

Pros
  • Great in person assistance
  • Beautiful organised events
  • Building with the others
Cons
  • Not really clear communication during the application process
  • Often internship are not paid

New York Film Internship

I took part in an incredible 6-month film internship in NYC. It might seem a bit scary at first but everyone that I’ve met there considers it one of the best decisions they’ve made career wise and at a personal level. The city was incredible, the people I met through the intern group are friends that I will keep in contact with forever, Brian was the best person in the program being super attentive, helpful and fun, the internship itself has helped me incredibly career-wise and I didn’t stay in the accommodations but I frequented them to visit my friends and the Brooklyn building was insanely good. Overall best experience I’ve taken part in.

Pros
  • No need for Ubers or cars because transit is very efficient
  • You meet people from all around the world both inside and outside the program
  • You get to hear the song “Empire State of Mind” literally everywhere at all times
Cons
  • New York can be very pricy
  • It’s a safe city but you have to be conscious and careful
  • The American Visa process is very inefficient and long

New York Internship

It was an amazing opportunity to have some exposure in NYC. It was a dream come true. The Intern Group made sire the process was simple and not complicated. They offered various types of arrangements that will fit everyone’s need. They were trying their best to keep us engaged by contacting regularly and arranging group events. I personally opted for separate accomodation but i knew students who were with TIG living arrangements say that it was really good. Overall the experience was wonderful and helped me build my resume.
