Sydney, Australia has a dynamic make-up of different businesses and industries which allows for many different internship possibilities. On top of that, as an English-speaking country, there are opportunities for internship placements in a wide variety of areas. Read on for more reasons why you should consider Sydney, Australia for your international internship experience.
Sydney is considered Australia’s only global city, the leading knowledge-based region in Australia, and home to Australia’s largest local economy. The City of Sydney has ongoing economic development strategies and action plans centered upon green economy, international education, and tech startups, among others. These initiatives make Sydney the perfect place for someone interested in learning more about different types of work and development in different industries. 
Important to any major or career field is Sydney’s commitment to developing a green economy: a green, circular economy creates jobs and ensures a livable city for future generations. Some action areas to promote this involve supporting communities and businesses in increasing the use of renewable energy, investing in local projects that boost the economy, and advocating to federal and state governments to invest in the green economy as a main generator of jobs in Sydney.
Sydney is also a great city if you’re looking to get out and explore. There are so many places to discover in your free time: the Blue Mountains, Bondi beach, and Manly beach are all great for fun day trips or take a train to Gold Coast for some surfing, a winery tour, or a visit to a wildlife sanctuary. If you’re looking for closer to home activities, check out the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, or the Royal Botanic Garden. There are also plenty of museums to visit to learn more about the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. 
All in all, Sydney offers something for everyone, no matter your interests. If you’re looking for a fun, lively place to gain work experience while immersing yourself in a new culture, consider Sydney for your international internship experience with AIFS Abroad.
