API Intern Group Reviews

I had a really fun and meaningful internship with the Intern Group in my summer holidays. The company I was allocated is very supportive and really allows the interns to have the freedom to express their own ideas. I was able to take my own initiative and carry out my ideas instead of being told what to do by my boss, this experience has really made me grow as a person. The activities planned by the Intern Group were really fun and engaging, we were able to experience the local food and sceneries, giving us an opportunity to know more in-depth about the city. Overall the experience is very memorable for me and I really had lots of fun with the other interns and my colleagues in the company. Last but no least, the accommodation was really new and furnished, the local coordinators are very helpful and they always help us when we have a problem.

Everyone is super nice and supportive. My internship was really fun and I learned a lot. I took photoshop and illustrator in class for my college classes, but I felt like I didn’t learn a lot and I didn’t really remember about it after the classes. However, through this internship, the skills that I have acquired through using photoshop and illustrator is being used everyday and it helps me with remembering all the keyboard shortcuts and everything. The staff of the intern group is also really nice and took us out to get us to know more about the city. We also had a cultural etiquette workshop to learn more about shanghai’s Culture and also a shanghai cooking class to learn how to cook chinese shanghainese food! It was really yummy and lots of fun.

I strongly suggest doing an internship with the Intern Group, I did the 12 weeks program working as a Digital Content Creator Trainee for a company provider of Digital Marketing Services, it was my first real work experience and the Intern Group did it the friendliest way possible, at the company I enjoyed my work a lot and wanted to learn so I got the opportunity to get involved with other departments such as design and programming which were very useful experience for me in future opportunities. About the housing, the Intern Group helps you with this process and for me it was a great experience I ended up making lifetime friendship with my flat mates which we are still in contact two years after, for me what I liked the most is that all of us came from different cultures and we were all very open minded about it. About the city I think I couldn’t have found a better city for me for doing this experience, even though I was doing a job experience I met students from all over the world and I could always find a nice terrace or rooftop to have a beer with the best views of the city.
This experience also had a huge personal growth in me, learning to move by myself in a new city and looking after myself, at first it was an intimidating experience and a bit difficult to be honest but I wouldn’t change anything out of it, and after being done with this I ended up very interested in doing another international experience. After I finish the internship I went back to Mexico to do my last semester in university and after I graduated I started looking for job opportunities in different countries and because of this internship I was able to find a job in Paris as manager for the digital marketing for the Spanish market in a startup.

Going to Shanghai was my first traveling experience and i can never be more happier that i chose to do this with the intern group! Tommy and Olivia are such great people that really try to help you as much as possible while also making sure you are having a great time and experience in Shanghai by doing some fun activities and enjoying delicious meals together. What i gained from this trip was to be more independent and do your best to communicate with others which was a stretch for me. This program helped me get out of my comfort zone and really improved as a person! Also, the company where i worked really enhanced my skills for the career i am pursuing so now i feel more confident with my skills! I'm glad i had the choice to choose this startup business because i feel like i showed them some things and vice-versa. During this 4 week duration at Shanghai I have done things i would never have done back home which is exactly what i was looking for! The only downfall was the hotel service because of miscommunication and delays but other than that the stay was fine. Overall, the intern group really developed me as a person and taught me to always live your best life and enjoy trying new things even though they can be completely different from what you are used to. Thanks The Intern Group! You might see me again soon.. ;)

I stayed in Bangkok for a month and will remember this experience for a lifetime. The internship company had me working on a relevant project which made me feel like I was contributing to the company and also allowed me to work flexible hours which let me explore the city. With food stalls, shopping malls and street markets everywhere, there's something for everyone in Bangkok. I loved exploring randomly and would encourage future interns to do the same. It's fairly simple to use the train system and you can always get a motorcycle ride for shorter journeys too! The intern group coordinator in Bangkok was very friendly and helpful too whenever you needed anything. They organised weekly social activities too which were a great way to bond with fellow interns in different companies. The Thai cooking class would be my standout activity and would highly recommend anyone visiting Bangkok to try. I'd also encourage travelling outside Bangkok to Amphwa floating market, Ayuthaya (Old capital), Pattaya beach or even the islands in the south if you can on weekends or public holidays. There's so much to see in Thailand so definitely make the most of your time there!

My experience with TIG Madrid exceeded my expectations. The immense support from TIG's team helped me adjust to living and working in a foreign country. Also the organized social events (shout-out to Carlos!) contributed a lot to fostering community between the interns while helping us explore the city and live like a local.
I was placed in a perfect internship which helped me secure my dream position upon arrival back home. The professional development is invaluable and having an internship abroad is a once in a lifetime experience.
10/10 would recommend this program! You're investing in not only your professional life but personal via The Intern Group.
THANK YOU Lalita, Carlos, Laura and Beatriz for making my time in Spain unforgettable!

My time in Toronto with TIG was truly awesome. They have a great staff network (Vanessa and Sabine) based in Toronto who always provided support as well as a heap of fun, always organising fresh new cultural activities. The housing is also in a great location, and gives you a chance to explore Toronto (highly recommend a Raptors game). I selected the program because I wanted to travel as well as build my career, and in this respect TIG, and Toronto did not disappoint. I got to travel to New York, Montreal, Banff and also Niagara Falls in addition to building my experience in the marketing communications field, gaining an awesome career mentor in the process. The rare opportunity to live in a new city and meet people around the world is truly epitomised in this program.

My experience in Madrid was unique and exciting. At first, I must admit I was a little nervous because it was the first time I´d go this far away from home and to a real job. But ever since the beginning, the Intern Group was very attentive and they made me feel safe. When I got here, I realized every one was feeling this way too which is awesome because they are open to meet new people. I love how The Intern Group organized several unique activities as a way to get to know Madrid, its culture, and other interns. I am returning to Mexico with a big smile on my face and extreme satisfaction because this program exceeded my expectations. I would like to give a special thanks to Lalita, Beatriz, Laura, and Carlos. You guys are the best and you are always there for the interns when they need! I would without a doubt, recommend interning in Madrid.

Originally, I applied for a two month internship in Dublin without thinking much of it, I just wanted a reason to justify going abroad for a few months, and doing an internship seemed like the perfect way to do it. Little did I know I was about to partake in the most incredible, rewarding experience of a lifetime. From the moment I stepped foot in Dublin I was welcomed with warm, open arms, everyone I encountered was so lovely and helped me feel at home almost instantly. Over the next two months I engaged in what I believe was the perfect work-life balance, feeling rewarded with both the experience and opportunities I was gaining in my professional life, as well as the cultural and social experience that took place outside of the office. Despite only being in Dublin for a short period of time, I made friend and connections that I truly believe will last a lifetime, and got to witness so much of the beautiful cities, country towns and scenery that Ireland has to offer...I was constantly in awe. I am so thankful for my experience with The Intern Group and would highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to gain both professional and cultural experience in a fun, laid-back environment, and can proudly say that thanks to this program I am already now growing in my career and building a strong path toward my future. If I could relive my time in Dublin all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat.
