Testimonials

Thanks to IEC for providing each participant with the opportunity to take the Applied AI course for free. It’s a educational public-spirited initiative. I really enjoyed it! As someone just getting into this stuff, it was super cool to try out tools like Leonardo AI and Krea AI for making images—they’re way more powerful than I expected and pretty easy to use. The video tools like Sora, Runway, Kling, Lumalabs, and Pika were also really impressive. It’s unbelievable how you can create full-on videos or animations with just a few clicks. And here are some tips: When you are using these AI tools, you need to be careful to write the prompts as complete and detailed as possible, just as detailed as when describing something to a blind man that he has never seen before, for the AI to accurately generate what you have in mind. If you are generating a detailed image, it is better to describe it clearly at once, if you communicate with the AI by constantly adding explanations, it will cause the AI to forget the previous requirements, that is to say, his memory may not be good!

Volunteering in Cape Town was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. From working with children to exploring breathtaking landscapes, every moment was special. The culture here is rich, the people are warm, and even the language barrier couldn’t stop the connections I made. If you want a truly immersive experience, this is the program for you. And remember: in Africa, there’s no such thing as being “on time”—embrace the flow and enjoy the ride!

Teaching in China has been an eye-opening experience! The workdays are long, the schools are different from back home, and the food—well, let’s just say it’s an adventure of its own. But the students are amazing, the cultural exchange is fascinating, and life here is never boring. I might not have mastered Chinese yet, but I’ve mastered the art of improvisation in the classroom. To future teachers: be flexible, be patient, and don’t be afraid to try new things—except maybe the hotpot, that’s still too intense for me!

The summer of 2017 turned out to be one of the brightest and most unforgettable experiences of my life, all thanks to the Working Holiday in Germany program! Working in the gastronomy sector, I met amazing people from all over the world and significantly improved my German. But it wasn’t just about work—traveling to Austria, the Czech Republic, and iconic German cities like Berlin, Munich, and Stuttgart made it even more special. Living in Germany for three months gave me a deep appreciation for its beauty and mystery, which has fascinated me for years.

Dive into the experience, explore as much as you can, and don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. Huge thanks to IEC for making this adventure possible! 🌍✨

Le Touessrok Hotel is one of the finest hotels in Mauritius, and I was lucky enough to be part of its incredible team. Working in a five-star environment is intense but so rewarding! I met professionals from around the world, improved my skills, and learned to handle high standards. Mauritius itself is breathtaking—I still can’t believe I got to call it home for a few months. Future interns, don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. That’s where the magic happens!

Australia is everything I imagined and more!!! After months of preparation, I finally found myself living by the ocean in beautiful San Remo, working at one of Victoria’s top resorts.

The experience has been incredible, both professionally and personally. From stunning landscapes to friendly people, Australia truly HAS it all. If you’re considering this program, be prepared to work hard, but also to enjoy some of the best beaches and surf spots in the world! Huuuuge thanks to IEC for making this possible

Travel changes people, and Cape Town changed me. This city pulls you in, captivates you, and never lets you go. It’s in my dreams, in my thoughts, and I know I’ll be back. If you’re looking for an adventure that will broaden your mind and steal your heart, South Africa is the place to be. Come with an open mind, embrace the unknown, and let the journey transform you.

Ever since I first saw pictures of Germany in my elementary school textbook, I dreamed of visiting this country. And thanks to the Working Holiday in Germany program, that dream became a reality! Spending 2.5 months working in Phantasialand near Cologne was an unforgettable adventure. My job in the fruit kitchen was surprisingly fun, with a fantastic team and plenty of sweet creations. But the real highlight? Traveling! From Cologne to Brussels, Amsterdam, and beyond, every trip was a new discovery.

To future participants: say yes to every adventure, talk to strangers (they might give you a free city tour!), and enjoy every single moment. Huge thanks to IEC for helping me make my childhood dream come true!💖

Interning at The St. Regis Mauritius Resort felt like stepping into another world. The hotel’s standards are incredibly high, and it was an honor to be part of such a professional team. The people were the best part. Colleagues, guests, and locals made this experience unforgettable. Mauritius isn’t just a beautiful island—it’s a place where you grow, both personally and professionally. Future interns, don’t hesitate—this adventure is worth it!
