I wanted to get some professional experience after just finishing my degree, and I thought Cape Town would be the best place to do it. It was recommended to me by a friend who said she had a fantastic experience here!

I always wanted to do PR which is the field I asked Lucie to look into for me. Lucie quickly found me an amazing placement and I really never expected it to be as hands-on as it was.

I got exactly what I was looking for.

Yes! They were very helpful and I quickly got into the swing of things.

Yeah definitely! I got thrown into the deep end a little, but it was truly the best thing for me!

Yes definitely. Because they didn't ever spoon feed me. I was treated like another employee. At the same time, they were very supportive and were always available when I needed some help.

Yes, I do! They really needed extra help during the time I was there as they were understaffed at the time. So I was trusted with a lot of extra work on top of my regular duties.

100% YES.

Probably the safety issues within South Africa. When I first arrived I really didn’t know what to expect.

It’s ridiculous how much my opinion has changed, sure there are a few things you need to take into account like walking around alone late at night. But for the most part I have the freedom to do most things. I go running, I walk to the stores. I learned to be more street smart.

It's amazing. The history and the culture of the city are so interesting and it's such a beautiful place! I love it here.

Yes Definitely!

The search for my internship was so thorough. Lucie really was an amazing help and wanted to find me an internship that suited my every need. It was always so easy to contact Bridging Gaps staff if I needed help with anything. Any info provided to us was super informative and always accurate. It was great!

It was amazing. Whenever I needed something, you were just a call away and always very responsive and helpful. I always felt like I was chatting to friends!

I just loved the social events and the dinners you were always organizing for us. I quickly felt at home and made friends with other interns. The staff at Bridging Gaps don’t treat you like another number. I felt like I became good friends with everyone and I could approach you at any time if I need to talk about something.

Definitely yes!

I feel like the fees were quite reasonable compared to other companies.

It was definitely worth it. The services provide an extra level of support that I really needed.

If you have never been to Cape Town before or if you are travelling alone or if this is the first time you are considering an internship abroad, I’d really recommend paying for the extra services because you get so so much out of it.
