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

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.”

Your New York program
at a glance
If you’re eager to discover just what it’s like to undertake a Human Resources internship, look no further; here’s a snapshot of a typical 6-week New York program.
Weeks 1 & 2
After months of preparation and excitement, you’ve made it: welcome to the Big Apple. You can’t wait to see what awaits you in the city; but first, meet us at the airport and let us take you to your home for the coming weeks.
Join us on day two for your orientation. Here we’ll introduce you to your program, as well as New York itself. That evening, you’ll head out to meet your brand-new Beyond Community. Get to know each other over some of the finest food New York has to offer.
Head over to your office on your first day. Greet your co-workers and make a good first impression. Then get stuck in; your colleagues are here to offer advice and support, so make sure you draw on their wisdom whenever you can.
As you begin to tackle your workload, you’ll soon find yourself stretched by new and unforeseen challenges. Why not take an early skills workshop? Work with coaches and speakers to develop your skills.
Soon enough, it’s already time for your first exciting trip. Immerse yourself in the borough of Brooklyn, a world-famous part of New York. Take in the sights, snack on some delicious food, then finish your day with a trip to Coney Island.
Weeks 3 & 4
By your third week in New York, you feel like you’re really getting to grips with your workload. Whether it’s taking the lead when interviewing new hires or overhauling your firm’s employee handbook. Take some time out with your manager to discuss your progress.
It’s been a hectic couple of weeks, and you’re looking for some down time. Fortunately, you’ve just received an invite to a community dinner; head along and check in with your friends. Swap stories about your programs as you chat long into the night. Grab the subway home, or hop in an iconic yellow cab!
In your HR role, you’ll likely have met a lot of your fellow professionals already. We’ll help you build up your network by inviting you to an industry networking session. Meet new people and make valuable connections.
It’s soon time for your second tour. Take a trip down to the iconic Lower East Side neighborhood, a hotbed of immigrant and working-class culture. Explore a history of politics, punk music, art and activism as you explore this unique area.
Weeks 5 & 6
Your internship is nearing its end, and you’re feeling reflective. It’s been a whirlwind six weeks, and you can’t quite believe it’s nearly over. To look back on what you’ve gained, book in your 1-to-1 career session. Your professional coach will help you assess your achievements, as well as consider future steps.
Your final trip will take you into the heart of the unparalleled New York music scene. Head to a jazz bar or two as you take in some old favourites and brand-new compositions, played by talent from all over the world.
Your last event is your goodbye dinner. Meet up with your friends for one final time; reminisce about your time in the city, arrange the details of your first big group meet-up, then say goodbye.
Before you’re due to fly out of New York, you’ll want to make sure you’ve made the most of it. Explore the secrets of Track 61, an abandoned train station underneath the Waldorf-Astoria hotel; or take a visit to the Mysterious Bookshop, a bookstore that only stocks mystery, crime fiction, espionage, and thrillers!
