G’Day Mate! Want to go to the Land Down Under? With a wide array of internship possibilities, Cultural Embrace provides this opportunity for you. Take a huge step forward in your professional and personal life...while living in Australia!

Australia’s multicultural communities and natural environmental wonders are a combination for a healthy and happy lifestyle. Imagine working for a reputable, multinational company during the week, and then traveling to spectacular sites like Ayers Rock, the Sydney Opera House, or the Great Barrier Reef! Because our local affiliates organize weekly group activities, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to interact socially with locals and other international interns. Although Australia has a culturally and ethnically diverse population, you will have the ease and comfort of living and working in an English speaking country.

Cultural Embrace will work closely with you to provide an internship that fits your specific interests and needs. We partner with one of Australia’s largest recruitment agencies, working with over 1,000 companies throughout Australia that utilize the services of foreign interns. We guarantee your internship placement before departure. We can find placements with many international and large Australian companies in the fields of accounting/finance, advertising, business, marketing, graphics, I.T., media, law, medical services, social services, education, hospitality, human resources, and more. All companies are located centrally or close to public transportation, so there is no need to worry about the added expenses of buying a car or parking. You will have an immediate supervisor at your company for training and guidance. And, don't worry - the incredibly friendly and laid-back Aussies create a positive work environment so you can relax and truly experience Australian life and culture.
