Program Reviews

Thanks to Sage Corps I had an amazing experience interning abroad! From before my departure to after my time abroad ended, Sage Corps was there helping me every step of the way. With Sage Corps, you don't just apply then get sent away. The whole Sage Corps team works to help find a start up that is right for you. You are taught the hard and soft skills you will need to work at a start up abroad. If you have any questions about flights, accommodations, or general travel, there is a team member happy to help you. Once you arrive program managers and city managers are only a text away no matter what you need. There was not one moment I felt truly alone despite physically traveling alone across an ocean. Even after your program concludes Sage Corp helps you build your resume and connects you with its extensive alumni network. Once you are a part of Sage Corps, Sage Corps cares about you and your future success. That never ends. Because of everything Sage Corps did for me before, during, and after the program, while I was there I was able to feel totally confident everyday at work and after work in a way I never felt before. I was on my own exploring a new city and taking on a new job, but I knew I was capable. This feeling allowed to me experience all my internship and the city of Barcelona had to offer. I cannot imagine a better way to have experienced living and working in Barcelona!

My internship experience in Australia at an ed tech company was nothing short of exceptional. Sage Corps not only places students in dynamic work environments but also ensures that the internships provide valuable and practical learning experiences. The exposure to a start-up culture allowed me to contribute meaningfully to my host company while developing essential skills for my future career.

One of the standout aspects of the Sage Corps program is the opportunity for extensive travel and exploration. During my time in Australia, I had the chance to immerse myself in the diverse landscapes and vibrant culture. From scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef to exploring the enchanting rainforests, every moment was an adventure. The program's structure encourages participants to make the most of their time abroad, fostering a sense of curiosity and discovery.

Lastly, being part of a cohort of students added immense value to my Sage Corps experience. The program creates a supportive community that extends beyond the workplace. The friendships I forged during my time abroad are enduring, and we continue to stay in touch, sharing our post-program journeys and supporting each other's endeavors. The sense of camaraderie fostered by Sage Corps is a testament to the program's commitment to creating a holistic experience for its participants. Highly recommended!

It was my first time ever being in Europe, so was honestly a surreal experience. I really like how the program, although had quite a few events where all of us interns could meet eachother, was not too much and gave me the opportunity to explore the city of Lisbon on my own. Everything else about the internship was amazing from my job too the people I met/connected with through social events. The only reason I gave housing 3 stars was because of Livensa Living, they had some rude staff (even with being such a nice place) that would not be very attentive if you ever had problems. This is not Sage corps fault, but I can see them picking a new place in the future. Everything else about the program was an amazing experience!

I am absolutely thrilled with my Sage Corps experience! Without a doubt, this past summer stands out as the most remarkable season of my life. I had the incredible opportunity to connect with numerous individuals in my age group who shared similar aspirations. Together, we embarked on journeys, shared our ambitions, and even cohabited, with some of these newfound companions becoming cherished friends.

This program afforded me the invaluable chance to establish international connections, and my time in Sydney was nothing short of spectacular. Witnessing diverse ways of life across the globe was truly eye-opening, enriching my understanding of the world. I am now equipped with a wealth of knowledge gleaned from this global adventure, and it has left me with an insatiable desire to continue exploring new horizons.

My initial motivation for studying and interning abroad was to discover more about myself on both a personal and professional level, and I can confidently say that Sage Corps not only met but exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable.

It was a wonderful chance to make connections abound and to expand my knowledge outside of what I already have. It was a wonderful way to meet people and get to learn more about a culture that I was not a part of. I also really loved the support that the staff provided from Resume review to teaching modules to help with interviewing well. It was a great process that was made very easy by the supportive staff at Sage Corps. They work really hard to make sure you are prepared for your experience.

Sage Corps Remote is a great program for students who want to gain international work and entrepreneur experience without having to leave their homes. The program is well-organized and the staff is supportive and helpful. I was able to find a great internship with a UK based startup company in North Ireland, and I learned a lot about the internal process of business. I would highly recommend Sage Corps to any student who is interested in gaining valuable insights about real business world and get mentored directly from CEO and founders.

Sage Corp is a unique experience for many reasons. However, what stood out to me was the internships that we worked and the experiences we had. Specifically, being with other college students created a great environment. Whether it was riding the metro to work together or grabbing lunch on our breaks, it was incredibly helpful for all of us to stay focused. All of the internships we had were with startups or environmentally focused brands, which I am incredibly passionate about. The combination of creating friendships and working towards something that I felt mattered were two of the unique aspects of Sage Corp.

I wanted to study/intern abroad to learn more about myself both personally and professionally, and Sage Corps gave me exactly what I wanted and more. My internship options were tailored exactly to my interests, and from seeing my cohorts' placements it seemed that was the case for everybody. The internship-matching process is one of the things that stands Sage Corps out from other intern-abroad programs, among their commitment to cultural immersion and student safety. We had lovely Sage Corps staff in Sydney that helped us feel looked after and supported while being in a foreign country, and this local staff was also able to pick out the best cultural and professional events for us to attend. Sage Corps also has a large and lively alumni base that was happy to connect with Sage Corps prospects before going abroad (I connected with alumni from the program in 2018 and 2019!). Despite all this, along with boosting my resume and professional experience with my dream internship, the people in my cohort are what made this experience the most special. Getting to live abroad for 2 months with students from all over the country in a multitude of disciplines (hand-picked by Sage Corps staff to ensure everyone is like-minded and driven) made for a truly life-changing experience that I am thankful for every day.

Last summer I had an unbelievable time in Paris. I completed a Marketing internship at Watch Certificate, a startup company that certifies and provides market valuations for luxury watches. At Watch Certificate I had the opportunity to create comparative analysis models of the international watch market, expand company contacts through global outreach, refine their unique selling proposition, and redesign their website using Figma to enhance the user experience. I met some of my best friends that I am currently studying and traveling abroad with. Sage Corps allowed me to experience Paris like a local and provided me with a sense of security in a foreign country

It was a great experience for a college student looking to get ahead over the summer! I was in the Chicago program and got to work for a startup in Merchandise Mart (one of the nicest buildings in Chicago right on the river). Here I had a great time connecting with like minding students and gaining real-life experiences. I was able to work for a growing company and worked directly with the ceo and finance director in order to create models to tailor their marketing strategies. It was a great experience and they helped me get more connected in the area as well.
