About us
We inspire and encourage people to believe in and challenge themselves, discover their passion and realize their potential.
Our history
The Intern Group was an idea that blossomed from a coincidental meeting in a London pub - our co-founders dreamt of a world where all talent could have a home. Now, we are the top provider of international internships, with 40,000 applications to our programs every year.
Co-founder and CEO, David Lloyd, did an international internship himself. This experience became the inspiration behind The Intern Group's driving force to make internships abroad a normal part of education.
