It includes an immersive career development workshop, a one-to-one coaching session with a professional career coach, a range of online tools and resources such as a premium CV builder, and invites to professional networking events in your chosen location. You will also have access to the Beyond team throughout your program.

With our exciting calendar of events, we have made sure there’s time for fun, culture and friendships. All programs start with a welcome orientation and dinner. This helps to ensure you get familiar with us, the program, your location, and your new friends. All programs also include three super exciting events such as day trips, food tours and cultural activities. Please check your preferred locations to learn what events we run in each.

We highly encourage it. It’s a great chance for you to build your network, make new friends, experience the culture and take a well earned break.

We leave you to get settled in, and then things get started on the Sunday. You will be invited to a welcome orientation talk and dinner where you will meet our community team, learn more about the location, the program, and what to expect over the next few months.

During your interview with us, we will discuss with you whether you need a visa.

This depends on when you apply and also the time of year. Once you have been accepted onto a program and have confirmed your place, our Role Success team will begin to work closely with you to understand your skills sets, preferences, and aspirations, so we can make sure that any opportunities we send your way will be tailored to you. We always try to secure the internship as early as possible.

Our Role Success team put in a lot of effort into understanding clearly what you are looking for and what your goals are. They will then decide on possible matches based on our company partners’ requirements and your overall suitability for the company and the role. Once they have a small number of matches they then proceed to speak with each company and confirm whether they would like to proceed with an interview.

We take great care in finding the best possible company for your internship.
The role-matching process is designed to focus on your strengths and background. So instead of having you try out for multiple roles, we take care in understanding what you’re hoping to achieve from this internship experience, then find you a role and company that we consider most suitable for you. Having said that, if we find that there is more than one role that we feel could be a great fit for you, we may also line up interviews with multiple companies.

Usually we get it right, but if you really don’t like the role we present you with and have a fair reason that you can communicate to us, then we are happy to work with you to find another role that better fits your needs.

Compensation is decided at the discretion of your internship company. This can vary from completely unpaid, to stipends, or in some cases even full pay. However we cannot guarantee any compensation on behalf of internship companies. Please note, for those taking the program overseas, it can often be the case that the visa restrictions in some countries (including certain visas in Japan and Korea) do not allow you to earn money while in the country.

Yes absolutely, the better prepared you are the higher the chance you will be successful. Don’t worry, our Role Success team will provide you with advice and support where needed.
