Our aim is for every student to complete their project with a set of experiences and transferable skills, which can profoundly improve their future:
- Gain 100 + hours of international work experience.

- Activate global citizenship & broaden horizons.

At Think Pacific, we believe that an internship abroad should not only enhance your CV – It should develop your global perspectives, increase your knowledge, skills and confidence and help you discover your passions and purpose.
Our Global Team Internship (GTI) has been designed to help you bridge the gap between university and graduate employment in a globalized workforce by combining unique work-experience with cultural immersion and a team-based adventure.
During the placement, you will live with a team of fellow students in locally owned accommodation whilst supporting our hand-picked network of Balinese and Thai NGO’s, social enterprises and charities to develop practical and sustainable solutions to current challenges.
Think Pacific’s GTI is focused upon International Development. You will have the chance to interact and engage with a host of inspiring partners and learn about their work at grass roots level or international level to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The GTI is your opportunity to gain unique experience, with organisations driven by values and purpose.
