An internship in New Zealand presents an independent opportunity to be completely immersed within the culture and work environment. Learning from native New Zealanders provides an intimate view into the true beauty of the culture and customs, and it will give you the opportunity to further develop your English language skills. Internships are not restricted to university dates. They can be arranged at any time of the year and for numerous durations starting from 12 weeks up to 12 months.
If you are a student you can apply for Work Visa (Student), but if you graduated already then Working Holiday Visa is the only option.
