Outcomes

What alumni take home.

A résumé that stands out

Alumni finish with real overseas work experience, a reference letter from their host organisation and a Bloom of Youth certificate — the three things graduate recruiters ask for first.

A global professional network

Every placement connects you to supervisors, colleagues and fellow interns across Europe, Australasia and Asia. Many alumni return to their host companies for graduate roles.

Confidence that transfers

Living and working in a new country builds independence, cross-cultural communication and problem solving — the soft skills alumni tell us mattered most in later interviews.
