Environmental Conservation Internship in Costa Rica!

This internship was such a great opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture and work on my language skills. Living with a host family was so nice to have a small support system and get to try lots of tasty food! The internship work was very reasonable and also left lots of time for adventuring and exploring during time off! Overall a great experience and such a beautiful country :))

How this Program Reinforces the Value of Adaptability and Openness

Through this experience, I discovered the value of adaptability and openness in building connections. By me stepping out of my comfort zone and actively participating in discussions, I was able to foster an inclusive environment. I learned to appreciate the nuances of people’s culture and share my own experiences, which led to more meaningful interactions. This approach transformed my internship into an opportunity for growth, allowing me to form friendships that transcended language barriers and deepened my understanding of global perspectives. This experience reinforced the importance of empathy and communication in overcoming challenges in diverse settings.

My internship experience through Intern Abroad HQ

I stayed a total of 3 weeks in Valencia, Spain for the physiotherapy internship and I must say Intern Abroad HQ made by experience memorable. Everything was always so organized in a way that facilitated the entire process. I had a great homestay experience and was able to meet amazing people through the program. I also learned a lot from the internship in which I gained lots of hands-on experience. I would recommend staying 4-5 weeks if you wish to gain more experience as I only really got to practice some of the skills I learned near the end of my stay. The partner organization that organized optional activities for us were amazing, however I found their activities to be quite costly on top of the internship fee. If you wish to participate in any cultural activities or do some travelling, I recommend going through another agency or finding a group of friends to go with instead.

Thank you to my local team!

What made my experience so great was my easy adjustment, all thanks to my local team and program coordinators. It can be incredibly difficult adjusting to a new environment, especially when you have a decently long stay and need to quickly adjust in order to establish a routine. Thankfully, my local team was more than helpful, and treated me like family, allowing me to feel like I was home and quickly feel like I was where I belonged.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback Lauren! Stepping out of your comfort zone and traveling somewhere new can indeed be challenging, so you should be incredibly proud of yourself for doing just that! I'm glad that your local team and placement coordinators made the adjustment easier for you, and you soon felt Spain was your home away from home. You have been a pleasure to host and we know you will go far in whatever you put your mind to next!

My experience with Intern Abroad HQ

My experience with Intern Abroad HQ has been great, I had the opportunity to explore how healthcare system works in other countries (Morocco) compared to NHS in England. I had the opportunity to work with different healthcare professionals from different background, culture and ethnicity. I have enjoyed every moment including site seeing the rest of Morocco, meeting amazing and friendly people.

Great support system

I felt well prepared for my trip, which reduced the anxiety I had heading into it. I loved the easiness of signing up but receiving so much support after. Once I arrived to Valencia I still had a great support system and was able to get into the groove fairly quickly!

Great experience

During my placement in Morocco, I was welcomed to the hospitality at the Riyad. I was told where I will be placed and how to remain safe during my stay. The staff at the accommodation were very forthcoming and was willing to provide support at my point of need.
The placement allows you to explore your career in great depth and can be pivotal in helping you make a decision regarding your career.

Exceptional Support and Seamless Experience with Intern Abroad HQ

My Internship through the Intern Abroad HQ platform, was outstanding. From start to finish, the platform was incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate. There were numerous internship options available, each clearly outlined with all the necessary details, making it simple to find the perfect match for my interests and goals.

The payment process was smooth, with instant confirmation and a prompt follow-up email from the Intern Abroad HQ team. Their responsiveness was impressive- swift and efficient at every step. What truly stood out, though, was the level of care and coordination throughout the internship. The team consistently followed up with me weekly to ensure that everything was going well and that I was having a positive experience.

Overall, the support and organization from Intern Abroad HQ were exceptional, and I felt well taken care of from the moment I signed up until the end of my internship. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking an enriching and well-coordinated internship abroad experience.

My experience was good thanks to the people I met however, staff was a bit disorganised as I requested many times to be transferred to another hospital that can give me more explanation about radiology. My request was ignored and other new interns that came after me got to do more advanced observation in other hospital and also got to see radiology departments.

Exposure led to self improvement

I improved my organization skills, team orientation, and communication skills by dividing my time between work and pleasure. They also gained experience working with new people and building rapport with people from different industries. The language barrier was the biggest challenge, but the desire to learn and assimilate helped me overcome it. The local internship team provided support, and I used tools like Google Translate to support conversations, showcasing versatility and enthusiasm in facing challenges.
My experience was valuable, as i saw my potential in full flow and made connections with my surroundings. Overall, the placement was a valuable experience that showcased their resilience and willingness to grow.

Supporting Environment fosters inclusion

What made my experience great was the supportive environment I found myself, I was not expecting to blend or get adapted to such setting as it was a company located in a non-English speaking country. My Local team created a friendly and encouraging atmosphere that made it simple to fit in and work together right away. Colleagues' readiness to impart information and offer help when required really improved my educational experience.
What made the company different even as a start-up was their ability to improve and accept some Ideas that I brought to the table, which some organisations would not because I am an Intern and that made me felt very productive. Additionally, Having firsthand experience with data collection, analysis, and sensor data integration into the mobile app was priceless. I was able to apply my academic knowledge to real-world circumstances and this practical experience has really improved my comprehension and abilities.
