As technology is heightening and many areas in North America are growing more diverse, opportunities such as the internship provided by Global Experiences allows for one to gain insight on cultural dynamics while achieving practical experience.”

      Overall, I found the program very rewarding. It gave me a unique opportunity to experience another culture from both a social and professional standpoint. Working in the city was a great opportunity for me as well as living in Sydney. I was able to see some great parts of Australia and meet many great people. The program takes you out of your comfort zone and allows you to develop skills that will benefit you in future endeavors when you return home.

I am completely motivated even more in life and in searching for a career path that works best for me! It was so incredibly valuable to do an internship abroad DURING my college study because now I am even more motivated to study and to pave [the] way for the career for which I will be most passionate.
