London Experience

I loved my internship experience here it was challenging and exiting which helped me the most. Through this process I had a great support from Peach my london program manager. She supported me through giving us events to go to and a safe space to come to her with anything. I was able to go to her for advice about being abroad and career development. There was great support during my internship and i’m so grateful for this opportunity. I think the encouragement as well was a confidence booster that I can be independent here and not rely on anyone else.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t be afraid to travel on your own. You will learn so much about yourself when you do. Also don’t be afraid to meet those fun people while traveling around the country.
Pros
  • Learn something new everyday
  • Make new friends
  • Growing confidence in yourself
What other participants should know
  • Home sick
  • Navigating living in new country with other social norms
  • Jet lag

Amazing Experience!

Although my experience took place online, and I am living in Valencia I have had an amazing experience with the culture and community in Valencia. I have gone to some events with friends I have made out here and it has been great! Valencia is a beautiful city, and Spain is a beautiful country overall! I truly have enjoyed this entire experience! My supervisor was always easily accessible and very helpful! Her whole staff were very nice and helpful to me! I learning so much about the business side of the fashion industry during my internship.

A Valuable Gap Year Experience with The Intern Group

I recently completed an international internship in Dublin, Ireland through The Intern Group as part of my gap year before attending medical school. The Intern Group made sure I had everything I needed to succeed, from pre-arrival assistance to ongoing support throughout my internship. They also organized events that made it easy to connect with other interns and build lasting friendships.

I was placed with an inspiring nonprofit organization, and the experience opened my eyes to new directions in my career path while deepening my passion for practicing medicine with a more global perspective.

In addition to the professional growth, the cultural experience was truly unforgettable. Dublin is an incredible city with so much history, vibrant culture, and friendly people. It's also easy to travel and explore other parts of Ireland. I made lifelong memories and met amazing people from around the world.

Overall, this internship was an invaluable experience, and I highly recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain international work experience!

Dublin/London Internship - The Intern Group

I absolutely loved my internship and the help I had during the process. The company, people working, and coordinators in each of the locations I was at were phenomenal and helped me gain so much insight. I will now be moving to Ireland full-time because I love it so much. This type of experience is a great way to add to your resume and understand how the workforce is in different countries. It brings opportunities for travel, eating different foods, meeting new friends, and experiencing different cultures.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve wracking thing for me was starting a job in a foreign country. But remembered that each job no matter where will be different and people are there to help! Your supposed to not know anything!
Pros
  • Travel
  • Meeting new people
  • New opportunity
What other participants should know
  • Culture shock
  • Not knowing too many people
  • Price of program

Great Option for an Internship Abroad

I had a great experience with the Intern Group. I had some reservations initially about the program, as I was told I was best suited for an internship with a nonprofit company, which wasn't necessarily something that aligned well with my career goals. However, I ended up being paired with a language and technology company outside of the NGO sector that was extremely well-aligned with the interests I expressed in my CV and resume. I also really enjoyed the program events and meetups and was able to meet a lot of very cool people from all over the world. The program and event coordinators go above and beyond, and I wish I could have had more time getting to know them, as they are amazing people. I don't know if I would suggest this over studying abroad, but if you're looking for an international internship postgrad, I would 100% recommend it.

Response from API Intern Group

It's amazing to hear you had a great experience with us in London, Luke! Thank you for sharing your experience - we're so pleased you found your role aligned with your interests and you enjoyed everything our program and experience team organized. We're wishing you all the best with whatever comes next for you!

Amazing time in Madrid!

I had an incredible time during my internship in Madrid! From start to finish, it was a rewarding and fun experience. The work itself was engaging, and I had the chance to learn so much while contributing to meaningful projects. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the amazing people I met along the way.

The support I received from Lalita and Nik was nothing short of amazing. They were always there to guide me, offer advice, and provide encouragement whenever I needed it. Their mentorship and genuine care made a huge difference in my experience, and I felt incredibly supported throughout the entire internship.

The team overall was welcoming and friendly, creating a fantastic environment for growth and collaboration. Whether we were working together on projects or exploring the city in our free time, I always felt like part of a great community.

Madrid itself was a highlight – full of rich culture, history, and vibrant energy. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the city, both professionally and personally.

Overall, this internship was not only a great career opportunity but also a memorable personal journey. I'm grateful for the chance to work with such wonderful people, and to experience Madrid in such a meaningful way. I highly recommend this internship to anyone looking for both professional growth and unforgettable experiences!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Definitely the calamari sandwich, a staple of Madrid cuisine!
Pros
  • Meeting so many amazing people
  • Living so centrally in Spain’s vibrant capital
  • Gaining relevant industry experience whilst conducting it all in Spainish!

During my time interning in London, I experienced a period filled with joy, excitement, and a sense of achievement. From cultural outings to professional networking opportunities, this Internship ensured that I had access to experiences that broadened the horizons of my future career and deepened my understanding of a friendly working atmosphere.

Thanks for support and positivity

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Peach for being such a wonderful source of support and relaxation during my internship. While internships can often be stressful, Peach always had a way of making things feel lighter and more enjoyable.
Her cheerful attitude and great sense of humor brought so much positivity to my days, helping me unwind and recharge after work. Whether it was sharing a laugh, having a casual chat, or simply being there to listen, Peach made a real difference in making my internship experience not just productive but also genuinely enjoyable.
