Internship

Anna from Australia

Hi there,
I’m Anna from Australia. This testimonial is way overdue but I guess it’s not until now, a couple of months later that I can properly express how amazing my time in Canada was.
I lived in Vancouver for almost three months and it was unforgettable! I completed an internship with a sports museum, conducting research, collection management and helping set up exhibitions and events. The behind the scenes experience at the museum was invaluable and will hold me in good stead for a career in the heritage industry.
I had the best time living in the staff house! The housemates were very welcoming and there was always something happening. With so many great people to spend time with and so many awesome things to see and do in and around Vancouver-I was never bored! I could not believe my 10 weeks went so fast!
When it came time for me to leave-I really didn’t want to. I had a great internship. I experienced the wonder of Vancouver and visited the Rockies and Whistler. I had lots and lots of fun and made excellent and unforgettable friends!
My trip to Canada was everything I wanted and more! Everyone says this but it really was one of the best times of my life!
My only advice to people who are thinking of doing an internship in Canada is:
1. What are you waiting for?
2. ALWAYS check your flight times!
All the best,
Anna

 

Patrizia from Switzerland

During my internship arranged by INTERNeX I worked for a non-profit organization, which hosts special events and has a museum. My tasks were different every day. For example I had to help everyone, I was working on the computer with programs such as excel and word tasks or I had to present hockey artifacts at the Canucks games, which clearly was my favorite :-) Seven weeks full of new experiences, new friends and get to know the true Canadian working atmosphere: I wish everybody could enjoy such an unforgettable internship, especially in this great city: VANCOUVER!

 

Bas from The Netherlands

My time here in Vancouver was fantastic! I've been here for 5 months to do my graduation internship. To do my internship in Canada was one of my dreams actually and it came true! I worked in a clothing company where I worked as a International sales assistant, to help out where I can. I got the chance to work at a trade fair in Las Vegas with some staff members and meet lots of old and new clients. That was the highlight of my Internship to be honest, it was so much fun! The atmosphere was really relaxed at my internship and I helped the manager with lots of new things. In that way he could have more stuff done, when I was helping him.

The whole internship worked out pretty good and the people I worked with gave me really good feedback! This experience also changed my life in how I see things, in terms of how you see the world with a much wider view. And this work experience will really be valuable for my personal development and in the near future for sure!

I also really liked the culture here, the Canadians are so nice and always ready to help you out. When I was in Vancouver you can see the huge mountains in the background, just beautiful!
Vancouver is also a great city to live, you can do or buy whatever you want, so Vancouver is the place to be!

At the Staffhouse I really had fun with all the people, going out & party from time to time, it felt a bit like family after a while!

Thank you for this great & unforgettable experience!
