Program Reviews

The internship was just what I needed, exactly when I needed it:

-Meaningful experience in the field I wanted
-A way to explore a city and country in more detail
-Networking through TIG
-Making great friends from all over the world

It has been a highlight of my year, and invaluable to me personally. The staff at TIG Dublin bring so much fun, personality and experience to the group. All the little things, like the detail of planning for the day trips, to keeping up with everyone day to day. They make an effort to get to know you, and share themselves in return.

The accommodation was excellent, and being in close proximity with the other who are interning across the city make it easy to make connections.

I cannot recommend this highly enough.

The intern group is a wonderful company that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to complete an internship abroad. I did my internship in Dublin, Ireland and it was the experience of a lifetime. From the moment I got to Dublin I felt welcomed by The Intern Group. I worked at a very interesting company that taught me a lot about the industry I wanted to work in. The Intern Group also did a very good job of setting up trips and fun experiences around Dublin and Ireland. The cliffs of moher were one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced in my entire life, and visit the Guinness Storehouse was also one of the coolest things I’ve done. Overall I would rate this program and my experience in Dublin as am A+ and the reason for that is because of The Intern Group and the team they have in Dublin.

Coined “the Silicon Valley of Europe”, Dublin is the proud home of the European headquarters of many global technology giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and eBay, to name a few. This past summer, I had the opportunity to go to Dublin, Ireland and do a 6-week internship through The Intern Group. Getting work experience was beneficial for my future. I was able to do a lot of cool digital marketing and content creation. The event excursions we went to were really enjoyable. The Intern Group was wonderful in making sure all of the interns felt at home. I learned a lot and gained so much experience in a short amount of 6 weeks. The experience was rewarding both personally and professionally. I honestly had a great time and would recommend everyone to do an internship abroad.

My experience at Dublin was amazing and extremely valuable. I did a 6 weeks internship with an architecture firm where I got to learn meaningful skills set for the pursuing of my studies and my professional career. TIG was supportive throughout the entire interview process and also provided us with a pertinent workshop at our arrival to help us better navigate as interns in a new city.

The TIG team is amazing, extremely supportive and makes the experience a whole lot better, easy and amusing. Ireland is a charming country with an wonderful culture and extremely nice people!

I highly recommend doing an internship abroad with The Intern Group, it is the greatest experience you could get! Although it might seems scary and intimidating at first, jumping head first into the plan towards greener grace, fish and chips and Guinness will be your best decision ever!

This program provides the opportunity for a perfect balance of building valuable career experience, being exposed to a new culture, and making friends. I was quickly placed into an internship in which I was able to work directly with my boss on a variety of tasks. I had a lot of flexibility, but still felt that I was doing meaningful work.

My housing accommodation easily exceeded my expectations and allowed me to become friends with other interns. I was then able to travel around the country with these friends on many amazing weekend trips.

The Intern Group was very involved with everyone during the course of the internship, hosting events and checking up on all the interns. The office in Dublin is always open to the group, and is a nice place to stop by after work.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I absolutely loved my time in Dublin and would 100% do it again. The Intern Group made the entire process very smooth, from interviewing for the position to ending on a good note. The staff from the program were incredible and helped me adjust to life in Ireland. Living with other interns from different counties was an incredible experience. I made friends for a lifetime and now feel like I have people to visit around the world. I gained invaluable professional experience in my field and now have a clearer idea of the career path I want to take. The culture events the program provided helped immerse us in the culture and learn more about the country we were staying in for the summer. I especially loved going to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway for the weekend with everyone in the program.

Had such an amazing time with the best group of people you could ask for. Dublin is great place to live for 6 weeks (wish I could stay for longer), and the people I worked with made the internship really enjoyable. I learnt so much about entrepreneurship and the buzzing start-up environment within Ireland - it is a great chance to gain hands on experience with a fast-growing company, and it looks great on a resume!
Loads of organised events that are always good fun, especially Cliffs of Moher, but there's plenty to do just with people that you meet along the way. I definitely recommend fitting a weekend to Dingle and another Galway in your itinerary. Trust me, they're the places to see. Finally, feel free to get in contact with the Intern Group coordinators, they're always happy to help and are a great bunch to be around.

This past summer, I had the opportunity to go to Melbourne, Australia and do a 6-week internship through The Intern Group. Although getting confirmed for an internship was stressful and last minute, the second I landed in Melbourne I knew I was going to have a wonderful experience. I worked for a non-profit and got to be alongside people from all over the world, not just Australia! Getting work experience was beneficial for my future. Melbourne was a wonderful place to live and see, and The Intern Group was wonderful in making sure all of the interns felt at home. You don't often get the chance to drop everything and live someone new, so I highly recommend you go for it -- The Intern Group is a fantastic way to pursue that adventure!! Don't forget to eat some Tim-Tams!

Even though changing careers might be difficult or uncertain, that is what I decided to do. I returned to school and completed a bachelors degree at the University of Texas at Arlington on May of 2019.
I am so happy that during my time at UTA I learned about The Intern Group from the Golden Key International Honor Society. In my opinion, what they do it is simply amazing. Taking part on an internship experience is beneficial not only for young adults, but for professionals like me that chose to change careers.
The Intern Group has a dedicated staff with the most welcoming attitude. They have a passion that drives them to give their best to every single intern, from the moment of the initial interview with the headquarters staff in London, to the moment of the exit interview with the program’s country staff.
I chose to go to Medellín, Colombia. Camila, Catalina, Alejandra, and the rest of the staff were great at taking care of our needs, keeping us informed, planning our excursions, choosing the best partner companies, and everything else they did.
If anyone is still thinking if they should apply, I would say: Go for it! I am sure that the program they chose and the staff at their host country will be amazing wherever they chose to go with The Intern Group.

The Intern Group Program was such a fun experience!
This experience was one of the most amazing in my life. I traveled across the world and was going into a job that I really knew nothing about. Thanks to the placement from the Intern Group (Thanks Pip & Jessie!) I was put into an environment where I learned so much about myself and about the startup ecosystem, which is something I literally never thought I would care about! The Intern Group helped push me to excel with professional development sessions! They also made the experience so much fun with events almost every week (Thanks Alana!), where I got to hang out with other interns! I now work full time for the company I was placed at by The Intern Group!

Basically, The Intern Group is AWESOME & I totally recommend doing their program!!
