Program Reviews

I am so appreciative of the ABROADER team for all of their efforts throughout this unprecedented remote internship experience; I felt constantly supported and engaged in the country of Vietnam, even while in a remote setting. While working for an international organization while working from home was inherently difficult/challenging, ABROADER and the Local Buddies made this the best possible experience for all of the interns! I cannot even imagine how wonderful this experience will be for future interns who get to travel in-country with ABROADER for their internships and get to meet all of the wonderful, supportive, and KIND team members.

Abroader did an impressive job getting creative to keep us interns engaged in an online setting. It was often difficult to stay motivated while working for a company across the world, but Abroader had weekly meetings with all the interns and local Vietnamese buddies so that we can learn more about the country and it’s culture. These events made the internship not only more fun, but added value to the overall educational experience. I definitely recommend applying for a position through Abroader.

I always felt very supported by the team, and they helped immensely to facilitate communication between me and the host company. They also created a really positive and energetic community which encouraged cultural engagement, and I not only learned a lot about Vietnam but also felt that I made friends along the way. I was very happy with the internship the team matched me with, and after working there this summer I feel much more confident and informed about possible future careers both technically and introspectively.

I had an amazing experience with ABROADER! I had the opportunity to work with VUN Art Vietnam, a fantastic social enterprise that empowers its workers, who are individuals with disabilities. I worked on a number of different projects, but I mostly worked on market research and development and marketing. I really enjoyed how engaging, exciting, and educational the internship was. The ABROADER team was very responsive and supportive, and I cannot recommend them enough! Additionally, the weekly cultural sessions really made me feel more connected to Vietnam's food, landscape, and culture even though I couldn't be there in person.

The ABROADER team is such an engaging and helpful organization to work with! I had an amazing virtual internship experience, as I was paired and worked with Vun Art- a social enterprise in Hanoi, Vietnam that employs individuals with disabilities to create art from recycled silk scraps. ABROADER helped me get everything ready for my internship and everyone was so responsive to my emails and messages. They served as mentors throughout my internship and organized incredible cultural exchange sessions with local students that allowed me to learn all about Vietnamese business culture, music, student life, food, family values, and so much more! Between my Vun Art host organization and my role on the project through my university, ABROADER helped me smoothly transition to my virtual internship and I couldn't have done it without their support. This is an experience I recommend to anyone seeking global development and cultural exchange experiences. Be sure to have ABROADER organize it for you, as their team is dedicated to your learning and they are one of the best organization's I have ever worked with!

ABROADER is such a supportive organization. Everyone is so kind and wishes the best for you. Even in remote settings, you can connect with people across the globe from you. Professionally, ABROADER assists you with your internship, offering valuable advice and mentorship. A remote internship requires you to be self-directed and responsible, and communication becomes more vital than ever. I’m glad ABROADER was a helpful bridge between the intern and host organization. This is definitely an experience that you will remember!

I was doing an internship in Vietnam with the GreenHub organization. ABROADER made sure that I got more than working experience. I was able to have fun, meet new people, learn different things about Vietnamese culture and food, and many other things. Even though it was online, I really enjoyed the virtual experience from Vietnam. I am so grateful that I got an opportunity to do an internship in Vietnam and I am thankful for the people I met and everything I learned. I hope I will have a chance to visit the place in person.

Julie and Ngan are incredible-- gained so much out of this and was really impressed by how organized this internship was given that it was virtual and across multiple timezones. The Abroader team checks in regularly and we have weekly meetings. They also organize cultural sessions which are really fun to attend-- I learned a lot about Vietnamese culture and again, was so impressed by how easy it was to make this connection with people I had never met before virtually. All in all, a great experience.

It was an incredible experience and made something valuable out of the difficult situation of Covid-19. I learned so much about Vietnam and was able to connect with a bunch of peers in Vietnam. It was also a great social outlet during a remote internship which can feel isolating sometimes. I am so thankful for all the support Abroader provided and all the work they put into making a really great program. If you are doing a remote internship or looking to learn more about vietnam, this program is perfect for you.

I had such an incredible experience as a Public Health Remote Intern in Hanoi, Vietnam. From the support I received to the work I did with my team, I could not have asked for a more positive internship experience. Despite the fact that I was not able to travel to Vietnam, I felt so connected to the people and culture. The relationships I have built and the lessons I have learned are so priceless and humbling. I truly commend this program for the wonderful work they do and I am so incredibly grateful
