Expand your knowledge and skills on a Professional Internship in Auckland. We match enthusiastic and motivated interns with relevant employers so that you can gain experience in your chosen field and exchange knowledge to the benefit of both parties. Each placement is tailored to meet your individual requirements and we provide you with full support and back-up during your stay in New Zealand.
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.
