Hoang (Trang) Ho (Bachelor of International Business / Bachelor of Government and International Relations) completed the 20CP global internship with Steelcase Japan, Tokyo in T3, 2018 and shares her experience below:

 

Completing the internship abroad has not only taught me the skills needed for a professional workplace, but it has also given me the courage to live in another country and appreciate the culture and their ways of living. It has dramatically strengthened my sense of independence in having to face challenges in adjusting to a different lifestyle.

 

Saying 'Yes' to almost every opportunity that came my way demonstrated to be the most immersive way to make the most of every moment knowing that I only had a short time there. The friends made, many awe-inspiring moments shared all from the word 'Yes' had surprised me in so many ways professionally and personally, it greatly improved my self-esteem. I highly recommend it!
