Beyonders Share Their Experience on Our Program
“What I loved about Beyond Academy and why I choose them is because they are more flexible and more individually tailored to what each person is looking for, rather than just a generalised experience. My group and the entire Beyond community has been really welcoming. I am so lucky to be able to have this experience with people that are similar, as in we are all looking to grow personally, grow professionally and also just enjoy every moment. Everyone here has left behind the familiar and has come to the unfamiliar which can be scary, but when you have a community as good as this, it’s not scary at all.”
Hannah from the United States

Your New York Community
Old and new blends everywhere you look in the city, from just-built skyscrapers to chapels and eateries that stretch back hundreds of years. In fact, New York is a city of contrasts. Arts, architecture, food, and music all have their home here, and there’s something for everyone. Take in a speakeasy-style bar as you soak up the music and atmosphere; or head up the top of the Freedom Tower for an unmissable view. Wrap up warm in winter months and luxuriate in Central Park in the summertime.
World-famous landmarks and more await you, and you’ll explore it all with the support of your Beyond Community. Many interns make friends for life here.
Welcome Orientation
Before your internship begins, we’ll take you on a comprehensive welcome orientation. This is your chance to prepare for the coming weeks; we’ll take you through everything you need to know about your Beyond program, and you can ask any questions you might have while you’re here. We’ll also send out regular invites to our popular community dinners; you’ll definitely want to head along.
Networking Opportunities
Throughout your internship, you’ll meet plenty of fellow entrepreneurs and business gurus. An international city, New York is a great place to pick up some contacts. We’ll help you build up your network by sending you an invite to an exclusive industry event; get to know your sector and good things may come of it.
Brooklyn Tour
Famous the world over, there’s nowhere quite like Brooklyn. Try all the food you can eat in the borough’s selection of restaurants, cafes and bars. Then feel inspired by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Finish off by taking in a view of the Manhattan skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge; watch the sun set lazily over the city, drenching the skyscrapers in warm colors.
Lower East Side
The first racially integrated neighbourhood in the city, the Lower East Side has deep roots in immigrant and working-class culture. Gain a unique insight into this imitable part of NYC; learn first about some inspiring activism at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space. Then take a walking tour or two, stopping off to look at some street art.
Jazz Night
For years, New York has been the cornerstone of jazz. You’re about to discover the musical heart of the city as you hop from jazz club to jazz club; sip on cocktails and take in the atmosphere as you experience a unique cultural feast.

Your New York program
at a glance
If you’re looking to find out just what it’s like to undertake an Entrepreneurship & Startups internship, here’s a look at a typical 6-week program.
Weeks 1 & 2
As you take in that distinctive New York skyline, you can’t quite believe that you’ve finally made it. A fun-filled city of endless culture and attractions awaits you; kick things off by meeting us in arrivals. We’ll take you to your new accommodation so that you can begin settling in; whether you want to unwind in your room or head out and explore the city is up to you.
You’ll join us on day two for your comprehensive orientation. This is where we get you up to speed with your internship and the city itself. In the evening, you’ll head out to meet your Beyond Community for the first time. Get to know your new best friends over a pastrami sandwich or slice of pizza.
Turn up promptly on your first day of work and introduce yourself to your co-workers. Make a good first impression, get the lowdown on the work you’ll be doing, then dive in. This is a learning experience, so make sure you ask as many questions as you can; the insight and expertise of your colleagues will be invaluable.
However, even with the support of your colleagues you’ll still probably come to find yourself challenged. So take a skills workshop and prepare yourself for what’s to come. Work with professional coaches to improve your skills, then apply your new knowledge to your internship.
Soon enough, it’s time for your first day trip. Get to know the world-famous borough of Brooklyn as you explore everything it has to offer. Soak up some culture and take in a sight or two.
Weeks 3 & 4
By your third week in New York, you’ve really found yourself in the groove of life with your busy startup. You’ve been working closely with your colleagues, assisting them as they meet with stakeholders and potential investors; you’ve even had the chance to lead a meeting or two yourself. And you’ve gained confidence in contributing to the no-holds-barred flow of brainstorming and pitching sessions, debating new ideas to improve your firm. So take some time out with your manager to discuss your progress.
After an intense couple of weeks, you’re looking to relax. So accept an invite to a community dinner and head out on the town. Enjoy some good food and chat with your friends as you find out how their internships are going; then grab a yellow cab or the Subway home.
You’ll likely have met plenty of fellow entrepreneurs already. We’ll help you build your growing list of contacts with an invitation to a top networking session; make connections with industry leaders and good things may come of it.
Next up, it’s time for your second tour. Welcome to the historic Lower East Side; immerse yourself in a melting pot of culture drawn from all over the world. Make sure you visit a gallery or museum before you leave.
Weeks 5 & 6
As your internship nears its end, take some time to reflect on your achievements. Book in your 1-to-1 career session to chat with a qualified coach about your time in New York. Finish your session by thinking about the future, setting out a roadmap to your dream job.
Your final trip will take you on a deep dive into New York’s world-famous jazz scene. Enjoy the live music and delicious drinks on offer; it’s a cultural experience like no other.
Before your program concludes, it’s time for your final scheduled event: your goodbye dinner. Meet up with your Beyond Community for one final time; reminisce about your favorite memories of your time here, arrange your first group meet-up, then say farewell. And before you’re due to fly out, you’ll want to make the most of New York. Head to the immersive Friends Experience to see sets from the iconic show; or take in a live show at the Lincoln Center!
