Madrid Internship

I did the 6 week program and I loved every second of it. Madrid is an amazing place and there is always something to do. The Intern Group makes moving abroad so much easier by providing you with your living accommodation, public transportation card, and even activities to do with the other interns. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and welcoming. The part that made me the most nervous was where and who I was going to be living with. But I was very happy with my apartment and my roommates. I definitely recommend doing this to anyone who is interested on going abroad.

Bangkok Abroad Program

This program truly exceeded all my expectations and was an absolutely incredible experience! From the amazing advisors and engaging events to the provided housing, everything was meticulously organized. The friends I've met through this journey have become like family to me. The highlight was undoubtedly being matched with an amazing company that provided a supportive and enriching environment. My coworkers and mentors were not just colleagues but became mentors and friends who I still regularly keep up with. Additionally, the opportunity to explore Thailand was incredible. The culture, the places, and the people – every aspect was mesmerizing. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone looking for a comprehensive and fulfilling experience.

Amazing Experience

I had an absolutely wonderful experience in Dublin with the Intern Group and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to gain working experience in a new and exciting country/city. I spent three months in Dublin this fall after graduating university in the spring, and it was definitely the right decision. I was matched with a great company that gave me a lot of responsibilities and tasks, which kept work exciting each day, and made invaluable connections. Dublin was also an amazing city and I met some great people through the intern group, which provided me with a small social circle from the very start that I spent a lot of time with exploring the city and the rest of the country. Overall it was a great experience!

Pros
  • Connected me with other interns and made great friends
  • Dublin is a really exciting city with lots to do
  • Internship experience and recommendation looks great on a resume
Cons
  • Gets cold and rainy quickly after September
  • The housing company's service wasn't great

Best Experience of my Life!

As someone who has never travelled alone or outside the country, my month in Thailand was so pivotal. Not only did I realize my own independence, but I was so happy to be immersed in a culture so different from my own. I also was able to make great friendships despite going on this trip with no familiar people. I am happy the program also immersed us in the community such as bringing us to street fairs and showing us the history of our destination. Because of this trip, I am open to exploring more of the world and am fearless when it comes to changing my environment!

What was your funniest moment?
I went to this giant mall and there was a boba shop, but right next to the stand was a boba mascot costume. I decided to get in it and dance around and all of my friends were dying.

Internship in Bangkok

The day to day life in Bangkok was a truly inspiring experience. No day is the same. From getting the bts or mrt to new places you've never heard of or trying new street food daily. You wont get bored. The work culture is completely different from the western world with the attitude of work hard play hard being the key factor. Theres a party on every street that ventures into the early hours of the morning. On top of the activities there are to offer the work place is friendly and welcoming to everyone. With lunches at the market to hanging out after hours. Being an intern in Bangkok is one of the best experiences to have.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
No matter what say yes, on your weekends and public holidays explore the rest of the country! Getting to other parts is easy and affordable. Plus you will meet so many people that you instantly connect with its easy to make friends.
Pros
  • Experiencing a new culture
  • Affordability of day to day life
  • Friends for life
Cons
  • Time zone diffrence with people back home

Tokyo Internship

I have had an amazing time here! During these two months I've had the opportunity to work with professionals and learn a lot about marketing and startups, which where the fields I've worked in.
Living and working in Japan has had a huge impact on my everyday life. Now how know what it feels like being reallt far from home and having to rely just on myself and on my skills to sort out problems and difficult situations.
Thanks to the InternGroup I've experienced super funny and heartwarming moments, thanks to Erica and Alysha, our coordinators, who where always there to help and share valuable moments together!

TIG Dublin Experience

Doing an internship in Dublin was a once in a lifetime experience that I was so lucky to be able to do. Rachel and Lauren were a huge help in making it such a positive experience and I am so thankful for their guidance and support. I am so glad that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone by coming to Ireland because I met people I never would have and formed relationships that will last a lifetime; and was able to completely immerse myself in a different culture, which is a very valuable experience. I believe this program is ideal for people who are looking to build their resumes and travel post-grad.

Pros
  • Rachel and Lauren from TIG
  • Walkable city
  • Safe city
Cons
  • Host Point Campus

Worth the while

This experience will take you on a roller coaster, driven by rich cultural exposure and a unique placement experience from the other side of the planet. The Intern Group provided a very warm and safe environment for us to work and have fun. Throughout the program, you will develop new ideas and approaches, meet new people, and undoubtedly acquire a range of skills. This includes not only technical skills relevant to your placement but also broader skills such as traveling, personal growth, application of transferable skills, and overall self-development.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Prioritise thorough research about the area you're heading to, whether it's your placement city or another destination. You'll always uncover valuable insights on what to do, what to avoid, and how to manage your budget effectively.
Pros
  • Food
  • Culture
  • People

Absolutely loved it

I had a great time on my Dublin program! I decided to do a three month internship the fall after I graduated college, since I didn’t get to study abroad during school. Rachel and Lauren, my program coordinators, made the transition seamless and organized a lot of fun events for us interns that helped us bond. I made some amazing friends through this experience and I loved the city as well! Dublin has a lot of history, great museums, a fun pub scene, some amazing food, and a lot of cool little towns just a short train ride away. There is so much to see and do there!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Definitely be open to taking adventures on your own, but also try and bond with other interns on your program! Everyone has a similar goal in participating in a program like this, so it’s more than likely you’ll find someone who wants to travel to the same places as you or do some of the same activities. Don’t be shy about jumping right into activities with new people.
Pros
  • There is something for everyone, Dublin has a lot to offer
  • Easy to travel to other places in Europe from Dublin on weekends
  • Got to work in a position that is going to look great on my resume
Cons
  • Some workplaces can be quite a long commute (1 hour or so) from the accommodation
  • The bus system can be unreliable

Experience of a lifetime!

I did my internship with The Intern Group in Colombia and I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing it was. The internship experience was beyond my expectations and the activities that were set up by the company were amazing. I cannot express how much this helped me in a professional matter. Also, our coordinator Maria was amazing and was always there for us. Please don’t think twice about doing your internship in Colombia! You will never regret being in such a beautiful country and with such beautiful people.

What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment was when we were watching the Alborada in the rooftop with the other interns and we couldn’t stop laughing and crying because it was a really beautiful scene.
Pros
  • Great for CV building
  • Great to meet and know other cultures
  • A way to understand more of your field of choice
Cons
  • Internship may not go the way you imagined
  • Accommodation may be awkward
