Go Overseas Community Choice Awards
Intern abroad programs help interns manage the stresses of moving internationally for a typically short-term job — while still allowing you the chance to expand your worldview and learn important personal and professional lessons first-hand.
We looked at all of the reviews we received this year on internship abroad programs, including the scores we ask reviewers to give on the following categories: Growth, Support, Fun, Housing, and Safety. When we crunched the numbers and read the reviews, we found the the top internship abroad providers in 2021.
Reviews
Hear from some of our graduate reviews which made this award possible…
The amount of experience I gained through this program is irreplaceable. As a diver and conservation biologist this program really delivered experiences that enhanced my skills and knowledge. You could tell the staff wanted you to get to your highest possible potential while with them and have been more than happy to help with future endeavors. With my program complete, I feel eager to step into the next phase of my life.
You can’t go wrong choosing Indo Ocean Project for your Marine Research and/or Conservation Dive Master internship. Interns are coming from every horizon but with the same passion for the ocean so you’re pretty sure to make new friends (and dive buddies!) coming from all around the world.
This was pure happiness. This was the best experience of my life.
The progression I made was not only with my diving, but also confidence in and out of the water. I managed to get over my fear of open water so quickly with the help of the instructors, who took time out of their day to talk to me about any issue I was having, whether it be to do with the program or just something I wanted to talk about.
From seeing over 70 sharks in the 2 months I was there to sitting on the beach, drinking beer by a fire. My time in Bira was one of the best things i’ve ever done.
Want to join the team?
We are always looking for hard working and enthusiastic interns to join our year-round projets in Indonesia. Take an active role as a research assistant while completeing yoru dive master training.
