Program Reviews

This program was worth every cent. My 6 weeks in Dublin was perfect in every way! The Intern Group coordinators Paul, Caragh, and Isis made sure everything ran smoothly. It was so nice having a built in group of friends with the other interns and to have activities planned every week. I was really happy with my placement at a solicitors office! It was right on the Liffey and next to the Four Courts! I couldn’t believe the opportunities I got from this experience! I was able to go to court and participate. I was also tasked with writing some portions of legal documents for the solicitors I interned for. It was such a good learning experience and I was able to establish great connections with my coworkers. This internship has only made me want to move to Ireland after graduation! It was that good of an experience!

I´ve recently spent 6 weeks in Bangkok to join the international internship Program hosted by the intern group. The support from the Intern Group is remarkable. Even before my arrival in Bangkok I was professionally guided through all Visa steps and I received helpful advice that need to be considered when travelling and working abroad. By the time I arrived in Bangkok all new interns were welcomed with an authentic Thai-dinner and a supplementary orientation presentation given by staff from the Intern Group. After this I felt well- prepared for my first working day. Throughout my whole internship (Consultancy) I was fully involved in several interesting and challenging consulting projects that definitely equipped me with useful and new knowledge for my further professional career. Alongside the internship we had the opportunity to travel on weekends and to socialise with other interns from the program coming from all over the world (either on weekends or in evening events). My overall experience is far beyond my expectations - so everyone who is seeking a new and challenging professional experience and who is open-minded and keen to meet international people will have a great time in Bangkok!!

I had the best time with my internship abroad in Dublin. I originally had planned on going elsewhere, with Dublin as my “back-up.” Everything happens for a reason, and I am so happy I ended up in Dublin. I met the most amazing people, made friends with people I never thought I would have, and had the work experience of a lifetime.
I have never lived away from home or traveled by myself, and I was so welcomed when I went to Ireland. There were people like me from all over the world coming to have the same experience as myself. There is something so magical in that! The community created and nurtured by The Intern Group was so safe and comforting.
My internship was nothing short of amazing. I learned so much about an industry I was interested in but didn’t know much about. I felt like everyone involved was really caring about how I did, what I was learning, and where I would take this opportunity beyond Dublin.

The Intern Group gave me the opportunity to work with a publishing house that got my foot in the door for the career path I want; but it also introduced me to people in my program across the world. I now have connections in Germany, America, Canada, New Zealand, and, of course, Ireland where I interned. I can utilize those connections for professional and travel purposes whether I'm trying to scope out a job in their area or crash on a couch because we're good friends. Getting the experience of working in a different country will give you the extra leg on the competition for a job because it shows your flexibility, courage, and, most of all, your ability to network. I'm so thankful that I got to work with The Intern Group and Columba Books.

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.
