The advantages of participating in internship programmes

Ever thought about enhancing your CV and adding valuable work experience for your chosen career path? We have a range of Oyster internships for you to choose from,  and there’s something to suit everyone!

We offer teaching or office based jobs, marine and animal conservation work and medical or veterinary internships. Not only do some of these projects offer paid work and training, there are also opportunities to earn a qualification such as a TESOL certificate through our programme in Thailand.

Other rewarding benefits to completing an internship is to know that you are contributing to worthy causes such as environmental conservation and the protection of endangered animals. Through interning, you are supporting local communities and offering much needed assistance with human and animal care in underprivileged locations.  There are also opportunities to study another language or simply immerse yourself in the local culture to pick up useful phrases. Completing an internship offers the chance to do something productive on your gap year and at the same time be able to enjoy the perks of travel.
