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 program
at a glance
If you’re eager to discover just what it’s like to undertake a Hospitality, Tourism & Events internship, look no further; here’s a snapshot of a typical 6-week New York program.
Weeks 1 & 2
As your plane glides down over that glorious Manhattan skyline, you realize you’ve finally made it; welcome to New York City. Your program awaits you, but first, it’s time to move in. We’ll be awaiting you at the airport, so link up with us and allow us to take you to your new home. You can spend the rest of the first day as you wish. Some might want to kick back and relax; others might want to head out the door and start exploring. The choice is yours.
On your second day, you’ll join us for your orientation around the city. We’ll get you up to speed with everything awaiting you on your program. In the evening, settle into life in New York as you experience your first community dinner. Get to know your new friends and enjoy delicious food together.
Of course, you’ll soon find yourself challenged by your workload; a skills workshop will help you as you adapt to your role. Work with professional coaches to develop a well-rounded skill-set. You’ll leave this session ready for anything your internship throws at you.
Next, it’s already time for your first half-day trip. Visit Brooklyn, a world-famous borough, as you enjoy food, cosy bookstores, and fantastic sights.
Weeks 3 & 4
By now, you’re feeling increasingly confident in your role. From delivering perfect service with a smile; to handling all the hard behind-the-curtains work that goes into pulling off the perfect event, you’re really getting the hang of things. Take some time out with your manager and discuss how you’re getting on.
After a busy few weeks, you’re probably looking to unwind; accept a community dinner invite and head out to a local restaurant. Chat with your friends as you see how their internships are getting on; swap stories and laugh long into the night. To get home, grab the subway or hail down an iconic yellow cab.
You’ll have probably made a few contacts already as you’ve worked; now it’s time to make a few more. Head out to an industry networking session and meet and greet with leaders in hospitality and events; make a good impression and good things may come of it.
Next up, it’s time for your second tour. Experience the Lower East Side, a unique neighborhood of immigrant and working-class culture. Discover a history of local activism, art and music; then try an artisan café or two.
Weeks 5 & 6
As your time in New York comes to a close, you’ve decided to pencil in your 1-to-1 career session. Meet with a qualified coach to review your time in the city; consider what went well and what could have gone better, then set out a roadmap to achieving the job of your dreams.
Your final trip will take you on a cultural deep-dive into the heart of New York. Experience jazz as you’ve never heard it before as you take in some up-and-coming musicians across the city’s jazz bars. Enjoy the music and cocktails!
Six weeks have flown by, but now it’s time; get ready for your farewell meal. Meet up with your friends for one last time; arrange the details of your first big group meet-up, then say goodbye. Before you’re due to fly out, make one last dash around the city, taking as much in as you can. Visit the Museum of the Moving Image for a fantastic tribute to art and film; or take a walking tour through Chinatown, Soho, and Little Italy.
