New Zealand offers an emerging global market, a growing global interest, state-of-the-art research and amazing environmental industries with insight to Pacific and Maori culture.
We connect students and recent graduates with customized internships in New Zealand in a variety of career fields and with the option to receive academic credit.
With our network of partner companies which include multinational corporations, emerging start-ups, and NGOs, we connect you to an internship based on your career goals, interests, and past experiences. This means your internship is tailored specifically to you.
A large part of the custom-matching processes involves our one-on-one advising session, pre-departure webinar, and guidance, all of which help you stand out from the crowd and become a competitive applicant.
Our team provides you with professional development resources and support before, during and after your career-building experience so that you are able to maximize your personal and professional development at every stage of your program.
In addition to New Zealand, we also offer internship opportunities in Australia, Chile, China, England, Ireland, South Korea and Spain.
