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
PR & Journalism Intern, London Immersive Program
“I am involved in Project Management, which is close to what I want to do in the future. One of my favorite parts of my internship is that I’m taken seriously. In the sense that after building up some trust and showing the company what I have to offer, What was great was that I was able to work on a project from start to finish and really get to know the while process, that really gives me a feeling of accomplishment.”
Karin from Austria
Project Management Intern, Tokyo Immersive Program
“My experience so far here has been amazing, it’s just a shock how much I have been enjoying it. The interns are amazing here so we have been hanging out and getting to know each other and exploring Seoul. It’s really just been a full experience that I have been embracing every single day. I work in a team who creates content relating to K-pop. My favourite part of interning is getting to know my coworkers, being around a group of people that are just so kind and inviting, working alongside them every day has been the best experience. I had been hearing about Beyond Academy for quite some time and I read some really great reviews. I wanted to get the work and life balance, which Beyond offered. My favourite thing about Beyond are the connections I have made here and also the events that have been planned, it gets all of us out to embrace Korean culture.”
Jordan from the United States

Your New York Community
From the arts to architecture, New York is a trailblazer. Sprawling galleries depict a worldwide history of art and anthropology.

With cafes, restaurants, stalls and gastropubs on every block, the city is a culinary delight. And with hundreds of cultures represented, you’ll always find delicious new food to try.
Discover this city of lights and culture with your Beyond Community by your side. Many interns make friends for life on our programs, and this is where it all starts.
Welcome Orientation
Before you embark upon your internship, we’ll take you on a comprehensive welcome orientation around New York. Prepare for what awaits you; then dive in! We’ll also send out regular invites to our popular community dinners; take some time out to kick back and relax with your Beyond Community.
Networking Opportunities
Use your time in New York to build international connections and professional relationships. We’ll help you build up your network by sending out an invite to a top industry session. Head along and chat with fashion executives; impress the right person and job or interview offers may be just around the corner.
Brooklyn Tour
New York’s most populous borough, there’s plenty to do in Brooklyn. Enjoy the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as you experience over 50 acres of plants; then try the New York Transit Museum, dedicated to the history of New York’s Subway, bus, and rail systems. Finish off your day by taking in an unmissable sunset from Brooklyn Bridge.
Lower East Side
Take in a lesser-known part of New York history with a visit to the Lower East Side. The city’s first racially integrated neighborhood, the Lower East Side has a unique history of diversity and activism. See it for yourself at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space; then pick out some street art. Afterwards, explore the Tenement Museum for an insight into the past.
Jazz Night
Famous the world over for its musical output, New York and jazz have a long history. Even today, jazz artists seek out the city as a way of making their name.

Your New York program
at a glance
If you’re keen to know what work experience in New York looks like, we’ve put together this glimpse at a typical 6-week Fashion internship.
Weeks 1 & 2
As your plane glides down, take in that iconic Manhattan skyline. You can’t quite believe you’re about to spend the next six weeks immersing yourself in the Big Apple. So many opportunities await you, but first thing’s first: meet us at the airport and then allow us to whisk you straight to your room. You can spend the rest of your first day as you wish; unwind after a long flight or head out of the door and begin exploring the city.
Join us on day two for your orientation. Here we’ll introduce you to your program, as well as New York itself. Afterwards, head out to meet your new friends. Get to know your Beyond Community over a quintessential New York dish; you’ll be spending a lot of time together over the next few weeks.
On your first day of work, head over to the office and get to know your team. Familiarize yourself with your tasks and responsibilities, then get to work! Your colleagues are here to help you, so draw on their experiences and knowledge. It’s a learning experience, after all.
You’ll soon find yourself challenged by your hectic workload, so it’s a good idea to take an early skills workshop. Under the guidance of coaches and speakers, train your core competencies and leave this session ready to take on everything your internship could throw at you!
Soon enough, it’s time for your first day trip. Experience Brooklyn, a world-famous borough that offers something for everyone. Indulge in an artisan coffee shop, browse a range of cosy bookstores, then take in the view from Brooklyn Bridge.
Weeks 3 & 4
By week three, you’ve found yourself growing more and more confident in your role. Your hard work is really paying off: from increased engagement with your firm’s social media presence; to a newfound confidence and ability to independently engage with clients and investors. You might want to grab a coffee with your manager to discuss your progress.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, so why not take a break with your friends at a community dinner? Chat about your progress as you try one of New York’s many international dishes. Enjoy your evening, then grab the subway home.
As your internship passes the half-way point, you might want to start thinking about future opportunities. To this end, we’ll help you grow your contact list by sending out an invite to the best networking event in the city. Head along and meet with top fashion executives; in this industry, who you know can be just as important as what you know.
Next up, it’s time for your second tour. Visit the historic Lower East Side, a neighborhood with a long and rich history of activism and diversity. Soak up the art and music on display as you get to know a bit of local history.
Weeks 5 & 6
As your program is nearing its end, you’ve decided to take your 1-to-1 career session. Meet up with a career coach and review your achievements. Have you met all the goals you wanted to meet? Conclude the session by casting your mind out to the future; consider the opportunities that await!
Your final trip will take you on a musical experience like no other. It’s time to immerse yourself in New York’s world-famous jazz scene. Soak up some notes as you try a delicious cocktail or two. It’s an unmissable New York experience.
Before you know it, it’s time for your final dinner. Meet up with your community for one last time; arrange your first big group meet-up, then say goodbye. Before you leave New York, see as many of the city’s attractions as you can. Head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to discover over 5,000 years of art history; or take a harbor cruise along the Hudson River!
