Fantastic Internship Experience

Having spent my 2014 summer with Dream Careers for a business internship, I speak highly of the program they have put together. Everything is well planned out from check in to departure. The location they have for accommodation is prime in the heart of NW DC. The seminar speakers are well connected, successful professionals from who there's much to learn from, especially with regards to enhancing networking capabilities. More so, the program presents incredible professional networking opportunities. The internship itself was applicable to my major and productive from a career and investment perspective. It goes without saying that great friendships were created and there was plenty of time to explore and enjoy the city.

What would you improve about this program?
Program is well as it is. They really follow through with you all the way.

100% Worth It

Like many others, upon first hearing about Dream Careers, I was skeptical about it and its legitimacy. I wondered if each area of the cost breakdown was worth as much as they claimed. Despite my inhibitions, I continued with Dream Careers and found myself spending the summer in Miami Florida. I can now truthfully say that this was the best decision I ever could have made. Dream Careers is a fantastic, reliable, and absolutely necessary organization to help you get the summer internship of a lifetime. Do it, do it, do it!

What would you improve about this program?
I wouldn't change anything about the program. This Miami Program could not have been done better. The only thing is that I would stress the importance of people getting involved with this ASAP. I signed up in October 2013 for the summer of 2014, and still could have used more time.

Great Experience!

My summer in London was the most amazing experience. Both working everyday and just living in the city and experiencing so many different cultures everyday was so exciting. My best friend had participated in the New York Program the summer before me, and she had nothing but good things to say about it, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment I got to chalk farm, and the stay club, I felt completely at home and comfortable. Our staff was amazing and made sure to help us in every way possible! The first day at work was obviously stressful, but as soon as I walked in everyone was very friendly, and I have definitely made some great business connections as well as life-long friends! Traveling to a different country can definitely be scary, but the fact that you're living with around 100 people your same age going through the same thing makes it so much easier, and I found that I quickly made friends. This was definitely a once in a life-time experience, that I would recommend to anyone who loves to travel, and wants get experience working abroad!

What would you improve about this program?
There definitely could have been a few better meal options, but other than that, it was a pretty great program overall.

DCinDC

As a 2012 dreamer I had the best summer of my life. The DC program provided several opportunities for my personal and professional growth. The DC staff was more than accommodating; anytime I needed to talk whether it be about my career or personal goals they were open and respectful and truly cared about all of the students. The weekly sponsored activities allowed me to see DC in a way I never imagined; I truly enjoyed my summer in DC and I have Dream Careers to thank for that.

Amazing Program

The London program exceeded all of my expectations and was the best way I could have spent my summer. I knew Intern Group had a good reputation because my brother also had a huge experience with them in Miami. It was a long flight but the travel was smooth and once I arrived I was able to get to the place where we stayed at and met Stefan and the rest of the staff and then got started. The Stay Club is in a fantastic location and had everything we needed. I had a really good roommate and we definitely enjoyed the restaurants that were part of the meal card plan. Camden Town is a terrific place and there was always so much to do with everyone and try new things. The internship I had was a great process beginning with the interviews before the summer. For getting around and to work everyday we had public transportation cards we could use for the Metro and Buses and it was the best way to do things and get places. Amongst many other things provided by Stefan and his staff, there were events and activities being hosted all the time. At my internship I was very involved with the company's work and the other employees there were great people to get to know. They engaged with us and gave us advice on how to establish a career and find a position you want, not just land a job. I was able to expand my networking abilities by getting to know professionals in my field that I want to work in one day. On one night at dinner we were fortunate enough to meet the Intern Group CEO when he was in town. International work is a fantastic experience and we also received great advice from international guest speakers who had strong success stories. Learning how to build on the experience with Intern Group is the way to go, and there are people there to help you do it. The Intern Group experience in the city of London has been one of my best opportunities so far for getting involved with a great internship in my field, meeting lots of good friends from different places, and exploring new cities and new countries that have provided me with experiences I will always remember.

What would you improve about this program?
The program could be improved with a larger variety of breakfast or lunch but the fact that breakfast is already provided on a day to day basis is great in its own right. Everything else is well done and efficient.

This is the greatest thing i have ever done.

MPD

I enjoyed my internship with Metropolitan Police Department . I was able to choose my own 8 hour work shift. It was an incredible experience working with Criminal Investigations Division. I was able to work and get a feel of the field I received my degree in, Criminal Justice. I essentially shadowed them and assisted them with whatever they needed help with their cases- calling victims/suspects, typing emails, going to court, creating bolos, and going to calls. It was a blast and I would do it all over again.

What would you improve about this program?
I would enjoy a more apartment like housing.

Melbourne Internship

I really enjoyed the program. Regarding the professional experience I was able to acquire knowledge and permit me to grow as a person and a professional. I also had the chance to meet interesting people, who many of them I consider my friends now.

I also got to discover Melbourne, which is a wonderful and exciting city. I consider this trip as a life-time experience as it is really far away from my hometown.

Finally, the Melbourne Intern Team were superb and really helpful at all time. The really make my stay more enjoyable.

What would you improve about this program?
Particularly for me, the accommodation was far away from CBD, where I worked. Also, it was hard to go out at night as it was far away from the bars and other night places, especially when we return home as there was no public transportation (except for the night rider) and the taxis were really expensive.

Life changing experience - would do it again in a heartbeat!

My summer with Intern Group in London was one of the most defining summers in my entire life, if not the most defining. I've always loved England, and the change to live and work in London (probably the coolest city in the entire WORLD), at a film company to learn the ways of the film industry was simply indescribable. But in addition to having gained valuable working experience - which I use today - I was truly supported and taken care of by all of the Intern Group staff (so much so that I returned to London the next summer to staff London 2014 with Intern Group as a Media Manager). More than anything, Intern Group helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life, and gave me the courage to graduate college early to pursue my career and dream in New York City. Truly an incredible experience.

Miami is the perfect summer

Miami is an insane amount of fun. Working in such a vibrant city will help you progress as an individual and as a professional.
You will not be disappointed with the amenities offered by Dream Careers. The housing set up is prime for young professionals living in a big city hoping to branch out.
Don't miss this!

What would you improve about this program?
Ameen Shallal, my supervisor, needs a raise or to be promoted for his tireless work getting this Miami program off the ground successfully and for his passion for each Dream Career intern to have a great summer and successful professional career beyond the program.
