Program Overview

Spend your summer gaining valuable real-world work experience and broadening your global perspective with an internship in Auckland, New Zealand's largest city and cultural hub. In Auckland, you’ll immerse yourself in New Zealand's innovative, creative, and balanced work culture while exploring internship opportunities tailored to your professional goals through CIEE. Internship placements span various sectors, including the environment, media, technology, tourism, business, and more. Outside your work hours, spend your free time learning about New Zealand’s rich Maori culture and exploring Auckland’s stunning natural landscapes.

Auckland's multicultural community is the perfect setting to develop cross-cultural skills, hone your hard and soft skills, and discover how the city’s natural wonders inspire environmental appreciation. International interns in Auckland will make lasting global connections with peers and industry partners and experience the kind of personal growth that lasts a lifetime.

While internships are competitive, CIEE will help you navigate the interview process to set you up for success.
