Program Reviews

My experience with the intern group in Colombia was both exciting and educational. This is the first time I have ever left the country and it was very scary when I first arrived. I never took any Spanish classes in school so unfortunately I was going into this journey without any knowledge of the local language. Don’t worry though I’m here to tell you that if you are in the same situation as I was you’ll be okay. Without the intern group and the help of our advisor Maria I would have been lost. Luckily they are there with you the entire time assisting in anyway possible. They have Spanish classes providing you with the basic information necessary to get by on your own. You will pick up so many new words and phrases simply just from existing so don’t worry if you’re Spanish isn’t the best or Is just a little rusty, you will get plenty of practice and quickly become confident going out in public. The city of Medellín is one of the most amazing places on earth and there are so many cool places that are a must see here. The intern group generously hosts events for you throughout the time your here. My favorite tour was the trip to Guatape! There is an enormous rock with stairs taking you to the top for a spectacular view of all the different lakes and mountains in the landscape. Later you tour through the city after eating a delicious local lunch. Finally you go out on a relaxing boat ride to end the perfect trip. There are also many different towns outside of Medellín that are absolutely stunning and worth visiting if you have the chance. Jardin, la cascada, salta del buey, cascada el hato, and puerto triunfo are all some of my favorite places that I visited outside of Medellín. Aside from all of the fun and exciting things to do here, I have had a very wonderful experience in helping me to decern my future career path. I came to the intern group looking for an international experience to learn new cultures and just a different part of the world. I also came looking for help in finding an internship that could teach me the necessary skills to move forward in my career. I can confidently say that I will be leaving my internship not just properly prepared for the next step in my career path but also well traveled! I will never forget the many amazing people I have met through this internship and will cherish these memories forever! I highly recommend this amazing fun adventurous trip to everyone. Thank you so much to everyone on the intern team for making this possible! Especially thank you to Maria for being the support we all needed every step of the way!

The experience in Colombia with the intern group was by far the best experience I’ve had in my life. I’ve only ever lived in the UK, so moving across the world to Colombia for 3 months was daunting. But Maria, the programme coordinator, along with the other interns on the programme, made the experience better than I could’ve imagined. Whenever one of the interns had a problem (for whatever reason, big or small) Maria was always so supportive. There were many times she came down to Indie to talk to us in person which made the whole experience a lot easier because I always felt reassured. I’m so glad I had the experience with intern group rather than on my own. The internship was such a valuable experience and helped me to learn so much. I felt so supported the whole way through and have left with such special connections.

T.I.G made me feel welcomed as soon as I landed at the Narita airport. Shuttle service delivered and the accommodation was more than I expected.
Erika has been an ABSOLUTE GEM! She has made this experience so memorable and ensured that we were all entertained and safe throughout this entire journey. Alisha was also exceptional, I just had more dealings with Erika. If we needed anything from keeping warm, to helpful traveling tips to making sure that all of well-being was dealt with promptly. T.I.G excursions were very authentic and memorable that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

THANK YOU ERIKA and I wish you an ABUNDANCE of BLESSINGS for the future.

The Tokyo, Japan Internship has been amazing! But if there is one thing that has made this internship the best experience it has been Erika. After a bumpy start to my internship journey (delayed start) if it wasn't for Erika helping me navigate my internship here in Tokyo I really don't think I would have been able to get the quality i have experienced over this period of time. Erika has gone above and beyond regarding the full package experience while here in Tokyo, from organizing large group discussions and events effortlessly to finer details to ensure the culture is respected and experienced to the fullest! I cannot fault Erika's expertise through this life changing time of my life. It really is the people, the relationships and experiences that bring quality to this internship and Erika should be valued because of this. Thank you Erika I know that not only in my personal but also professional career you have added such value. All the best

Far exceeded all expectations!! By far the best part of this internship/experience was all the amazing people and activities. I never considered the level of detail or organisation that the excursions would have. Then of course I met a lot of wonderful people from all around the world, some of these people I’m sure I will keep in touch with! This truly changed my overall experience for the better. The internship was well organised and my host company was very accommodating, plus I learned a lot along the way!

The whole program was a wonderful experience. The group helped with the difficult parts like housing and the internship placement. They also provided lots of fun activities every weekend. Overall the experience was wonderful and the coordinators were super helpful with everything. Great way to experience Tokyo and Japanese culture while building your resume at the same time. Allowed for lots of different job opportunities and even had options for online work. Great experience for anyone looking for internships.

The experience I had during my six-month internship was terrific, satisfying, complete, and I’m my opinion it is undoubtedly highly recommended.
Moreover, I believe this is essential before professional life, thus I am grateful to have had this opportunity.

This internship is well designed and it provides plenty options to meet new interns, there were always activities that allowed me to meet new interns and visit new places. Therefore, It is great for a network expansion, friendships and traveling.

My ability to work to tight deadlines and manage my time effectively,
I should be hired for this role because of my relevant skills, experience, and passion for the industry. I've researched the company and can add value to its growth. My positive attitude, work ethics, and long-term goals align with the job requirements, making me a committed and valuable asset to the company
have always been passionate about adding more experiencein my goal of informationtechnology, and this position aligns perfectly with my skills and interests

I liked the opportunity to experience an intership abroad and my destination (Madrid) was incredible. I believe that the initial investment that you do it's totally worth it, considering all the help The Intern Group provides you and the activities they organise during our internship. I think that like any investment, at the beginning it is considerable and/or expensive, but totally worth it. It is a completely different experience that helped me professionally and the company where I did my internship amazing. Being in a program like this was amazing, I could visit a lot of cities in Spain and the EU and I could know a lot of cultures because it's easy to move around Europe. It's like being on vacations but with the opportunity to develop as a professional and as a person.

Dear Gooverseas,

After an absolutely fantastic experience, I have now found that I have grown into a stronger, more mature, resilient, and independent working person. I learned many things along the way such as how to speak to people of different languages, to manage my time, to learn from others, and to work in a team.

Additionally if it wasn’t for my leaders, and I’ll mention Jinnie to be specific!, then we wouldn’t have had anywhere near as much fun as we thought. She was great and looking out for us, and she always responded when you needed her.

Just want to say a massive thank you for this experience, and i will never forget it.

Thanks
