About The Intern Group

At The Intern Group, we believe in the power of potential. Our purpose is to inspire and encourage individuals to believe in and challenge themselves, discover their passions, and realize their true potential. Our vision is bold: a world where all 8 billion people can achieve their dreams. We are on a mission to make this vision a reality, aiming to welcome over 10,000 participants to our programs annually by 2030.

We aim to cultivate a future where international internships are a key component of academic journeys, with many participants supported by our scholarship program. This future will empower a new generation—skilled, globally-minded, and ready to lead with understanding and cooperation.

Guided by our core values—people focus, teamwork, continuous learning, and global leadership—The Intern Group has grown from a serendipitous meeting of our Co-Founders in a London pub to becoming the leading provider of international internships, receiving 40,000 applications annually. Join us in shaping the next generation of global leaders.

Does this sound like a place where you can grow? Want to be a part of our journey? Come join our team as:

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
