TRAVELLERS WORLDWIDE PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIP PROJECTS OVERSEAS
Travellers Worldwide are a UK based international organisation with over 16 years experience in structured and well supported worldwide internships, voluntary projects and courses.
With over 200 projects in 22 countries specialising in professional work experience placements and voluntary projects in a huge variety of fields.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Travellers currently manage over 110 internships and this is growing fast. Example areas are:
Business, journalism, law, medical, care, teaching, media, finance, engineering, PR & marketing, conservation, hospitality, IT, nursing, education, environmental, advertising, tourism, photography, social work, sports, TV & film, nutrition, fashion, sciences, graphic design, architecture, dentistry, sports management, marine biology …and much more!
You will be assigned an English speaking supervisor to assist and navigate you throughout your internship and the learning curves along the way! The internships are well structured and can be tailor-made for you, enabling you hands on experience in a real life environment. Not to mention an impressive CV entry and an interesting interview talking point. Requirements for acceptance on the internship vary between projects and it is likely we can find something for you even if you do not have previous or relevant experience in the area you are interested in. The more experience you do have however the more hands-on your internship is likely to be (and often far more hands-on than you could hope for in your home country).

HOW MUCH?
These internships are NOT PAID and they require a fee to participate on. Projects start from £575 for 2 weeks. In many cases, accommodation, food, airport collection and internal travel are provided within the cost of the internship. For longer term internships there is a set price which applies irrelevant of the length of your internship but not including accommodation and food. This cost varies between destinations but an example is £1,175 for up to 12 months on a professional and tailored internship in Auckland, New Zealand.
"I came out here just for the work experience, so I could have a pretty looking CV that companies back home would notice. It turned out to be the best thing I've ever done, I am SO glad I took the risk because it's opened my eyes to what I can see and do with my life. It's made such an." (Andrew Coupe-Harris was later offered a job and has now permanently moved to South Africa - Graphic Design & Advertising Internship)
"I feel I am getting the best experience of my life, working in a different country and meeting new people. I have learnt many new skills already. I feel I am gaining experience in key marketing areas that I can transfer in my next role.” Kelly Gregory, New Zealand
