API Intern Group Reviews

This experience offered me invaluable amounts of personal and professional growth I wouldn’t have gotten in America. Through this internship I truly learned the meaning of hard work.

The Intern Group staff were always in contact with me assuring me if I needed anything throughout the entirety of the program I could go to them for help which was a big relief.

The housing accommodation was truly amazing and I will cherish and hold the connections I made with everyone for my entire life.

I would definitely recommend anyone thinking of an International Internship to take the opportunity!

A famous quote states that “great achievements emerge from great opportunities.”

Whether it was hard-work, effort and dedication, an enormous coincidence of life, destiny itself, or something else, I feel very lucky for the fact that I was given a great opportunity for professional and personal growth.

I could not be more grateful to The Interngroup and The International Business Hub for having so much trust in my abilities, values and in me overall; I hope I can correspond by bringing great results to the table as well.

I am also thankful with the housing administration for paying close attention to the needs and wants of their residents and for keeping a detail-oriented approach to make the experience even better.

It is crucial to mention that I have felt very welcomed and well-treated by the vast majority of people that I’ve met so far here in Madrid, which have been very polite and friendly to me overall. I also hope they can get a positive impression of me in general terms.

I still have a couple of months left in this program, and I am hopeful that by the end of it I can look back and be proud of the professional and personal progress being achieved. Meanwhile, I also desire to explore much more of this wonderful city. Madrid’s prolific monuments, beautiful edifications, delicious food, fascinating landscapes, and unique culture are only some of the things that continue to amaze me every single day.

Going back to the quote from the beginning, I’m aware of the great opportunity I have right here and now as an intern, and I hope to advantage it to the greatest possible extent and be able to make great achievements and reach my goals.

My experience with the Interngroup in Madrid has been rewarding and fulfilling, both in terms of the social encounters I have made and the professional skills I have gained. Whilst studying Media and Communications in the UK, I completed a PR and marketing internship with a venture and law company, as I am passionate about the PR industry and want to pursue a career in this field. While my tasks initially included social media management, they have gradually expanded to include creating LinkedIn and Instagram ads, writing the newsletter and blog, but also contacting newspapers to place our content! It is true that the internship in Madrid has far exceeded my expectations and my previous concerns about making friends in a country where I don't speak the language or adapting to this new working environment were swept away as soon as I met my new flatmates and started working. The intergroup did a fantastic job of integrating me and I never felt alone or left out. On the contrary, I felt like I never had a minute to myself and never had enough time to do all the projects and plans I wanted to do! If I were to give any advice to any new interns or those considering applying, it would be to start the programme with an open mind, positivity but also perseverance and hard work from day one, an attitude that eventually allowed me to extend my contract with my company and gradually be offered more responsibilities! The social aspect of the programme and the new bounds I have created have made my experience one that I will never forget and contributed to shape me as a more mature and fulfilled individual.

This was by far such a fun way to travel the world and develop myself professionally. I loved that there were other interns and community managers with you every step of the way. I felt supported when I need help, I felt in community with the group I was with and I felt excited by the activities that were set up for the interns throughout our time in Dublin! What an amazing city. If you're on the fence about this experience, what I can definitely say is you won't regret it, it is one of a kind.

I did my Business Development training/internship in Hong Kong. It was a very interesting experience which boosted my career essentially. The Intern Group organized everything perfectly, in advance but also on premise. There was great support at all times from The Intern Group, they are very welcoming and professional. I arrived in the middle of the COVID crisis but with the help of TIG and the company in Hong Kong, it was not a big issue at all. TIG helped me to get the opportunity to work in an international company and learn about another industry and its global projects. I can definetly recommend this program without any doubts.

Thank you to the TIG team for always been there every time I had a question and any kind of problems.
Because of the pandemic, there were a lot of problems with the flights, quarantines, and destinations, I had to change the first option from Melbourne to Hong Kong, and I have to say it was the best decision I could have taken, I had the best time there, the friends that I made, the experiences that I had, what I learned at a professional and personal level, the adventures, everything was better than I expected and that was because I always kept an open mind and a positive attitude.
Taking part in this program was one of the best decision I have taken, I recommend it to everyone interested in gaining professional experience and wanting to build a career abroad, but at the same time, you get to know a different culture, allowing you to grow in so many different ways. If things don't go as planned, don't worry, the TIG team will be there to help you out and figure out so you can have the best experience, but remember to always keep a positive attitude and an open mind.

Thank you to the team at The Intern Group (especially John + Valeria!) for helping make remote interning a smooth and rewarding experience. TIG made the selection process extremely easy, which was a relief because I was right in the midst of exams. I was surprised to find out it was quite a collaborative process, and after a bit of back and forth I found a company I wouldn't have previously considered, but so glad I took the chance!

Apart from the 10-week professional internship, the program also includes career advancement training comes in the form of modules, all of which have fascinating articles, videos, podcasts, and quizzes to build key competencies in a digital workforce. It also offers a platform (Trivia Nights and discussion boards) to meet and interact with other interns from all over the globe, so you can share your stories with people who are going through the same experience as you. The program also offers three months access to the Keynote Speaker series – exclusive, real-time talks from leaders in many different industries.

I definitely recommend this program, because apart from work experience, it will help strengthen adaptability, digital literacy and cultural awareness, all of which are pursued by employers but can best be learned beyond the traditional classroom setting.

Glad that I found the organization I work for right now through TIG. At the beginning, I wasn't really considering this type of company but because TIG listed as one of the five options for me, I had a try for the interview. Turned out it didn't disappoint! I'm happy with both TIG and my employer. Even though the internship is online, I never felt that I was alone. There are always different kinds of online events that you can participate, from trivia to networking, my advice is to be open to the experience! I learned so much professionally and grew as a person. I also liked that there is a 3-month coupon for online therapy at TalkSpace. We all know how the past year has been challenging in many ways, so talking to someone professional definitely helped me to be more positive and set the right mindset not only for now but also for the future.

For future participants, this program is great experience to grow professionally and personally. You will be encountered with so many options of your field of study and many companies that will offer you a job experience through a period of time. This experience will prepare you to become a professional and be more confident in what you want to become. It is more than just working for a company, you will learn more about ways a company works and the important factors to become a great employee for a great company.

I joined the January 2020 program for a month and it was such an amazing journey. I was signing up late for the program, but the Intern Group people were very handy to finally got me the internship that I want at the last minute! Everything was excellent and the other interns whom we got to share apartment with were all friendly, we then become friends until now! I learnt that if you really want something, you will get it if you put effort in it. Oh, I was faced with language barrier, but it wasn’t a big deal since Thai people are friendly, just don’t be shy to blend in! Definitely recommended :)
