Irina, Russia -Internship NZ Participant 2002/03

Hello. My name is Irina, I am from Russia. And I am participant of the “Internship in New Zealand” program. The program was designed to let the students get the professional experience in their future profession. You can do this training program leading in to your education at University. And try to use your skills in real life at real work.

I found this program in Russia and decided to take a part in something interested and amazing. My education in Russia supposed to give me a degree in “International Relations” which was the main reason I came to New Zealand. The staff from Internship NZ helped me to get Work Permit and feel free here. I know if something would happen those people would help me at any time. That was my lucky chance to come here.

This job helped me to improve my English and gave a lot of opportunities to meet new interesting people. I know much more than before about another culture, about another life.

I made a decision to try it -now I am here, very happy and want to thank everybody who helped me to get it.

Chris, UK - Internship NZ Participant 2002/03

Hi, my name is Chris and I'm from the UK. As part of my degree I had to undertake an internship in my field of study. I wanted to do one abroad and when I heard of Internship New Zealand I jumped at the chance to work in such a beautiful country. From day one the staff were there to help me sort everything out. Because I had applied late there were worries about my visa but I rang Juliet and she worked everything out and put me at ease. When I arrived in New Zealand I met the whole team and they halped me settle in and find a place to stay -Rae-Ann even put me up in her house for a while! Now im up in Whangarei Heads having an amazing time but I always know that if I get into trouble they'll help me out -thanks team!!!
