Life changing internship experience!

I interned with IAHQ after having just earned my degree in international relations and was eagerly looking for my first role post-college. Having several study abroad experiences already, I set my sights on positions outside the US. That's where IAHQ came in. I felt like IAHQ met me with the same enthusiasm and hope I had as a fresh graduate. We worked together to figure out my strengths and see where I could be a fit for their partnerships in South America. I was matched with a marketing internship in Cusco, Peru. Dallas was my program manager. She was available at what felt like all hours of the day/night for every question I could think of! I felt so prepared boarding my flight to Peru and even as I settled in, I knew Dallas and the whole team at IAHQ were behind me. To say the internship changed my life would be an understatement. I worked on translating my placement's website, taught adult English classes, worked the field assisting in home nutrition visits, and even got to help in their pastry program. It was through my work as an intern that I found a full-time job to stay in Cusco! I became a coordinator for a tourism agency there and stayed for about two more years. Intern Abroad HQ will set you up for success, help you forge lasting friendships and professional connections, and cheer you on every step of the way! If you are at all curious about working outside your country and boosting your resume, you can reach out with confidence!

Review of Online Developmental Psychology Internship

I completed an online internship based in India focused on developmental psychology. My role involved watching recorded sessions and writing analytical reports, which strengthened my observation and report-writing skills. Communication was quick and efficient, though there was limited direct interaction with clients, which could be improved.

Opportunity of A Lifetime

So, alot was expected. I signed up about a year ago, originally to go to South Africa for the Marine Biology and Reef Conservation. I was advised to try Costa Rica because of the travel scares of traveling as a female. When I signed up, my program manager, Dallas, had every single thing laid out for the smoothest process possible. I signed up for every excursion, added a week to obtain my dive certification and received college credit towards grad school. During my time there, my hostess, Maria was amazing and cooked some of the best dishes. She took all of my food allergies into account and kept me safe. It definitely helps to become familiar with the language of your visiting country. Every morning around 7am, I walked to the dive shop where we would go out for a.m. and p.m. dives. You become part of the community as you frequent the street and wave back at the ladies having their morning tea on their balconies. I felt safe.

Your training is with some of the best PADI Dive certified trainers in the country. You'll be back in time for classes and socializing with your housemates after a long day and just in time for dinner. My weekends were filled with thrift shopping, market food and latin dancing. It goes so quick! I encourage you to immerse yourself in the culture, the language and the people. My housemates and I are now friends for life and future dive partners.

Seven weeks was perfect for me. I was ready to see my family. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go to Samos, Greece next year with your new program. But after seeing InternAbroads thoroughness in helping me with travel and transportation arrangements, I'm doubling back on South Africa for sure. My grad school schedule only allows me four weeks of vacation per year cause were year-round...so know that this is not the last you have seen of me InternAbroad HQ!😁 See ya soon. Rachel

would 100% recommend

As a university student looking for an internship that would really make an impact, I’m so glad I found Intern Abroad HQ. From the start, their team was so helpful and made everything easy to understand and showed me the right steps to follow which took a lot of stress off my shoulders.

The internship gave me the chance to understand how building on skills that I've learnt can be used in real world application. It also helped me grow personally because I got to live in a completely unique location and experience a culture that’s different from my own.

What I appreciated most was how supported I felt the whole time as it made me comfortable to make the most of the experience. If you’re a student wanting to build useful skills and have an amazing experience abroad, I definitely recommend Intern Abroad HQ.

Thank you for your kind words, Maya! I'm delighted to hear that the internship has contributed to your personal & professional development! I'm glad to hear that you got to participate in real-life conservation projects with your dedicated mentor - it's great to hear that you have gained a better understanding of the conservation industry and grew your skillset. Despite doing the internship for a short duration, we've been very impressed with efforts to write a report about cheetahs as your report will be used to influence management decisions around future conservation projects in the reserve. We'd love to have you join us again for another internship in the future! Wishing you all the best for your career plans.

I really enjoyed the Marketing & Communications internship in Japan! It helped me grow personally, especially when it came to time management and gave me valuable, hands-on experience in marketing, design, and even improved my Japanese language skills. I know I’ll be able to apply a lot of what I learned to my future career. I also loved getting to travel and connect with so many new people. The program advisors were incredibly supportive and were there to help every step of the way, which made the whole experience even better.

Incredible Remote Internship – Real Impact, Real Growth

My remote internship with Intern Abroad HQ was an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience! From the very first week, my coordinator and the local team made me feel supported, valued, and part of something meaningful. The projects I worked on weren’t just “busy work” — they were real, impactful contributions to ongoing initiatives that directly benefit the community.

One of the highlights was collaborating on creative media and reporting projects that showcased the organization’s work. Even though we were on opposite sides of the world, the team maintained clear, consistent communication through weekly Zoom calls and regular updates. I always felt comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and taking ownership of my tasks.

This experience challenged me to think critically, adapt to new ways of working, and build skills I know will be valuable in my future career — especially in communications, cross-cultural teamwork, and nonprofit support. It was inspiring to see the dedication and passion the local team has, and I left with not only professional growth but also a deeper appreciation for meaningful change.

I would 100% recommend this program to anyone looking for a meaningful, flexible, and enriching remote internship. I am 17 years old and this was my very first internship, and I couldn't be more grateful for this experience. I truly recommend to all ages and typed of people - as it is an opportunity to gain real-world experience while contributing to a cause that truly matters.

Intern abroad found me an internship I really enjoyed doing! All my conditions that I wanted were met and the company that I did my internship with were also very good. The support I received from intern abroad was also great- I could always reach out via email and even had support during my interview. Although it may seem expensive I definitely thought the experience was worth it.

Nancy and Jaime were wonderful hosts and encouraged me to explore Belize while also being focused on the animals. The meals that we got on weekdays were always very good and filling. Being taken around San Ignacio on the morning of my second day helped me to learn more about the area and feel more comfortable and better adjust. I immediately felt welcomed by the whole family and the other interns, and I could not have asked for a better experience!

The experience not only allowed me to gain valuable insights into the professional world, but also helped me grow both personally and professionally. The placement process was smooth and efficient, and I truly appreciated the support and communication from the Intern HQ team throughout.
In particular, I would like to sincerely thank Marc Nelson, whose kindness, enthusiasm, and continued support made a lasting impact on my experience.

This internship has greatly strengthened my confidence, work ethic, and global outlook, and I will always carry this experience with me.

All the support I received from the advisors and supervisors was incredibly helpful. It made the preparation process much less stressful and allowed everything to flow more smoothly. The internship experience itself was truly incredible. The only thing I wish I had was the opportunity to read or see more about past interns’ experiences beforehand, as it would have given me greater insight before traveling. That said, I’m so grateful and honored to have gone through such a unique and meaningful experience.

Valuable Remote Internship Experience in Marketing and Communications

I completed a remote internship with a UK-based marketing and communications company, and overall, it was a valuable experience. I started as a digital marketing intern and eventually took on more responsibilities as a sales and marketing executive. I had the chance to work on real client projects creating social media content, designing marketing materials, and helping manage B2B outreach. I especially enjoyed managing an Instagram account for a university, which gave me practical skills in content planning and digital engagement. The Local Team was supportive and gave me the freedom to contribute ideas and take ownership of tasks, which helped build my confidence.

However, there were a few challenges. Communication could be inconsistent at times, and some expectations, like promises of post internship opportunities or visa sponsorship, were not clearly followed through. More transparency and timely feedback would have improved the overall experience. Still, the internship helped me grow professionally, and I would recommend it to others looking for hands on remote experience in marketing.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that the internship provided meaningful opportunities for growth, especially in digital marketing and B2B outreach. Regarding the mention of visa sponsorship, it's worth noting that as the internship was remote, a visa was not required for participation. The remote nature of the role meant that those aspects were not applicable in this case. That said, your feedback about communication and expectation-setting is valuable and will certainly help the team continue improving the experience for future interns! Wishing you all the best!

A Valuable and Engaging Remote Engineering Internship

My internship experience has been incredibly fun and rewarding. Even though the program is remote, I’ve learned so much, especially about bridging classroom concepts with real-world engineering applications. Everyone I have met so far has been supportive and welcoming, and my supervisor does a great job explaining complex topics clearly. I’ve felt engaged and valued throughout, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow both technically and professionally through this experience.

Internship in Costa Rica, at Marine Conservation in Quepos

Intern Abroad HQ helped me find an internship I needed to graduate really quickly.
The team responded super fast and was really kind to me.

there is many internships available, it's a little expensive, but the service is great overall.
It was a little unclear where and when I will arrive and start working, but there isn't much else to complain about.
