Custom internships with flexible dates match your academic focus, career aspirations, and personal interests! The intern in New Zealand program is an opportunity to gain pertinent professional experience in the most beautiful country on the planet.

During your time in New Zealand, you will intern with an individual, organization, or company and work with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and skill sets. You’ll gain practical internship experience while immersing yourself in the Kiwis’ friendly workplace and lively, modern Pacifica culture.

Living in one of the world’s adventure capitals – Adventure and adrenaline-pumping sports were practically invented in New Zealand. You can bungee jump, tandem skydive, or learn to surf, ski, or whitewater kayak.

A custom internship placement – We know you’re not traveling all the way to New Zealand to pour coffee and sharpen pencils. Our internships are customized, meaning we take into account your career aspirations, interests, and skills.

Sports – New Zealanders eat, sleep, and breathe sports. Rugby and soccer are national pastimes, but if team sports aren’t your cup of tea, there are countless options for hiking, biking, and climbing, and much more.
