Why should you consider a Work Experience Internship in Auckland?

PROJECT OVERVIEW
With our Professional Internships in Auckland, rarely are two placements ever the same! Each placement is professionally matched and specifically tailored between you and your host organisation. During your application we will guide you and liaise with you to ascertain exactly what your specifics are and what you hope to achieve on your work experience, to ensure achieve the very best out of your internship.

"I feel I am getting the best experience of my life, working in a different country and meeting new people. I have learnt many new skills already. I feel I am gaining experience in key marketing areas that I can transfer in my next role. I have learnt how to design and create web pages, guides for the clients and how to write marketing text. Outside of work I am loving every minute of it, all my housemates are lovely and we try and travel around seeing as much of the country as possible. Not only am I experiencing working in New Zealand but I am experiencing living with people from all different nationalities."  Kelly Gregory

We make all arrangements for your internship in close liaison with you and you'll be in communication with our partners in New Zealand (IL) during the arrangement process, as well as with our Travellers Team here in the UK. This is to ensure that there is the best possible fit between you and the company and that you are as well prepared as possible before you arrive.

You'll also be provided with a social network so that you get the most out of your stay in New Zealand, thus you'll have access to organised social events and excursions which will give you opportunities to meet other interns and New Zealanders. The following is included in your programme::

• Arrangement of your professional internship

• Meeting you at the airport. Our local Travellers Manager will meet you and will also give you an Induction into the locality and to New Zealand generally. She'll then introduce you to your Facilitator at IL.

• Transport to your workplace on your first day of internship, and introduction to your host company.

• A New Zealand SIM-card

• Evaluation at the internship according to your requirements and/or your university requirements.

• Social activities See Social Activities section below.

• Assistance with permanent good accommodation (see Accommodation Section below)

• Personal help-desk during the internship

• Support for students needing written reports about their experiences for their universities or employers.

• 24/7 Emergency assistance

• Support with local bank account and 18+ card

• Full Kiwi road map of Auckland

• Handbook with local information (phone numbers, places to go)

The friendly IL team will be on the ground throughout the whole internship period and will provide assistance to both you and the company. There are usually around 20 interns on the internships programmes at the same time, hailing from Europe and other countries.

Your Internship will increase your professional and personal development and give you an impressive entry on your CV or Résumé that will make you stand out in those all-important interviews. These internships are excellent!

SPECIAL SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE ARRANGED FOR YOU

A number of optional social activities will be arranged for you during your stay. These will be an extra cost to you to participate, but the costs are kept as low as possible and discounts are also arranged for our interns. For example, at time of writing this, they have arranged for a group the interns to go travelling down south this weekend and have also organised other activities, like White Water Rafting and transport there and back. They also arrange social drinks and meals in the city to give you a chance to socialise with the other interns on placement.
