The Asia New Zealand Foundation provides opportunities for young New Zealanders to intern with companies in Asia and New Zealand companies and organisations working extensively in the region. The internship programme aims to help them build a better understanding of the people, place and culture of their Asian host country while developing industry-specific skills that will benefit them as they progress in their careers.
Eligibility
The Foundation is looking for students who are interested in pursuing a career involving the Asian region and are willing to engage with the Foundation’s professional development programmes (see the frequently asked questions for more information).
What's covered?
Due to Covid-19, all 2021-2022 internships are either held online or with New Zealand-based companies and interns will be paid a living wage. Expenses such as the purchase of laptops are not covered.

- contribute a 500-600-word article with photographs for the Foundation’s website while offshore or soon after returning
