New Zealand Internships

My placement was absolutely incredible and exceeded all my expectations. It will look great on my resume and helped me to narrow down what I am looking for in future employment opportunities.

I enjoyed the team I was placed with and being in New Zealand the most. They showed me that environmental justice and prosperity aren’t impossible and can be successful.

I love taking on challenges and this experience has really helped me grow my confidence and showed me that I can be independent and that I can push myself out of my comfort zone. It helped me realize what sort of career path I want to go down, as well as grew my inspiration for this type of work. I was lucky enough to work alongside some of the most amazing people who were so passionate about what they do - it was so inspiring! As well as this, I was able to be involved in numerous different projects which were all super interesting and it really opened my mind as to what sort of things I might want to get involved in as a career. I loved every second of it and I wouldn’t have changed one bit of it.

I chose this particular internship program with Intern Abroad HQ, as a Psychology student, because I wanted to get hands-on experience and work with children as my future profession (once I have obtained my Phd. in Clinical and Child Psychology). I want to be engaging with youth professionally, and this internship enabled me to perform to the best of my ability. During the internship, I had the opportunity to work with kids with learning disabilities, and this internship was my first-hand professional experience working in that setting. The skills gained in this journey were adaptability and professional experience that will help me in my next step for the future. This experience taught me that a disability is nothing when young people have the passion and desire to complete a task. It was amazing to witness that and be part of that community.
