API Intern Group Reviews

The Intern Group has been a very nice experience for me. They have helped me to find an amazing 6-month intern job at the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. After signing my contract, they helped me to apply my visa online. When I arrived, Sau (program advisory and visa officer of the Intern Group) was organising some online events when I was in quarantine.

On the same week that I left the quarantine hotel. He organised a dinner at the restaurant with other people from the Intern Group. It feels very nice to meet new people when you just arrived in a new city.

After that, during all my internship period. Sau was organising some visits and hikes around Hong Kong, which were very well organised and great! I’ve got the chance to meet a lot of interesting people from many different countries.

At the end of my internship, I succeed to find a trainee job at the Belgium-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce. Sau helped me to apply for my new job visa! He was very kind with me and always tried to catch up with me. It is a pleasure to meet him, and I wish keeping hangout with him in the future if I stay even longer in Hong Kong.

Best wishes to you Sau and thank you to the Intern Group for this experience!

My experience was excellent.
I went to a 4 month internship program in Hong Kong. At first I didn’t know what to expect because it was my first time travelling with The Intern Group, but I can say that since the beginning they supported me with the whole process and I did not struggle at all to fill out the documents that they requested. During my stay, the customer service was phenomenal and they immediately answered any question or doubts I had. The city, the residence, the job and everything met my expectations.

The living conditions are great. And the city is beautiful. I met so many amazing people! I was also able to participate in some cool projects involving human resources and corporate wellbeing. Make sure that you choose a company that you can feel passionate about when applying. TIG is great at giving you the experience you want. Don't be scarred to discuss your needs with them.
Also, be sure to do more than just explore the city. Make sure to explore the many amazing hikes and beaches in Hong Kong.

I had the opportunity to intern in Hong Kong in a prime french company in their sourcing department. This opportunity was enabled by The Intern Group Hong Kong. I am very thankful for this opportunity that enabled me to increase my experience, expand my network and familiarize myself with the rich Cantonese culture. I blindly recommend enrolling in their program and also recommend taking an internship in Hong Kong that happens a great city to explore, hang out and have unique experiences. I would recommend Lan Kwai Fong over the weekend for outings and for networking with local and international professionals living in Hong Kong.

Honestly, I was nervous to go abroad at the end of 2021 because of the pandemic. I was worried we wouldn't be able to go out and explore or really get to know the city. I couldn't have been more wrong. During my ten weeks in Dublin, I was not only able to work at a really unique internship, but I also got to see so much of the city! The weekly meetups that all the interns and intern advisers had greatly contributed to this exploration as we went to the Guinness Factory, to several local restaurants, to unique pubs (shout out to Token), and on trips across the country to Galway and the Cliffs of Mohr!

Thanks to Alexis and John my friends and I felt confident enough to book our own solo travel on the weekends. Both of them encouraged our travel and, in sharing some of their own stories, made the world seem a whole lot more accessible. I went with another intern and visited Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Belgium!

Overall a 10/10 program that is well worth the money. If I could do this program again I would.

I really enjoyed having this opportunity, I think that is the best way to start building your resume while you get to know another culture and live the experience having new challenges. All the intern group team is super supportive and they really make an effort for offering you the best experience. They were always there, even for the minimal doubt. Also I loved that there were fun activities in order to show you new places or give you a cultural immersion of the City and also they are also helpful because they facilitate to get to know the other interns

The Intern Group has definitely opened the doors to my future career path & I'm very grateful for this! Even during a pandemic, my two coordinators Sau Yi & Joyce were fantastic to making sure everything was smoothe before I even arrived to Hong Kong - their support & organisation during such a hectic time was so so helpful. Once I was here, I was welcomed by their activities & I've met some people in the accommodation that was offered to top off my experience with them. I took away a lot from my internship & I networked with a lot of people ... I even extended my time in Hong Kong with their help of finding a new job here!

The Intern Group programme in Madrid was an incredible experience and opportunity for myself. I worked in a forward thinking organisation, on projects involving EU funding, and gained experience in a field I hope to work in. I met friends from all over the world, with whom I have travelled with and hope there will be more adventures to come. This programme has really given me an insight into what I want for my future and the goals I now intend to pursue. It’s a great chance to step out of your comfort zone and push yourself to learn new things. I am grateful for the support and activities organised by Lalita and hope to meet her again when I return to Spain for my future studies.

I was able to do a double virtual internship with the Intern Group, and each host company that I was with (one in Dublin, and one in London) were excellent! I learned so much that will help with my career going forward, I've made great connections within the companies I've worked for but also with other interns and supervisors, and have expanded my knowledge of not only the world but my career field. If you have the chance to do an internship with the Intern Group, DO IT!! You will be so thankful and glad that you did.

The Intern Group was able to provide me with assistance in finding a placement when I needed it most. I highly recommend their programs for anyone looking for valuable experience and knows how time consuming applying for internships independently can be. The career advancement training, keynote speaker series, and career coaching are highlights of the program that prepare students for the professional world in ways a regular internship just can't.

The staff at the Intern Group were also incredibly helpful- from the online support to engaging with the interns.
