International Internships @ The Burgess Group

The Burgess Group has always provided opportunities for international students to gain business experience and enhance their professional skills for career development through its well-known Internship Programs. Below are pictures, comments from previous Interns, and the countries they represent.

In 2019, The Burgess Group’s Interns were Taina Conde (right) from Brazilia, Brazil, and Jorge Cerqueira (left) from Long Island, New York. They worked exclusively on the Metropolitan Transit Authority Contract which recruited transformational Chief/Vice Presidents in Construction, Engineering, Project Management, and Recruitment.

Isak Sundquist, Stockholm, Sweden: “This Spring I’ve had the opportunity to work as a Research Associate Intern in Business Development at The Burgess Group- Corporate Recruiters International, Inc. What made the internship extra interesting and educational for me, was that I got to work directly with Mr. Burgess himself. This allowed me to get a deeper understanding of his three Businesses, as well as the opportunity to learn directly from an experienced and successful Business Owner. I have assisted Mr. Burgess with preparing client presentations, Information Technology, reaching out to current and potential clients, and office management. Overall it has been a very fun and educative experience to be a part of The Burgess Group.”

Vibhuti Rana, Kathmandu, Nepal: “This summer I have had the opportunity to intern for the Burgess Group. I work as a Human Resources Intern and help corporations recruit the best talent. I have always been passionate about working in the Human Resources field and this internship gave me an opportunity to explore different aspects of recruitment. Each day brings something exciting and different and especially the company culture keeps me energized. There is a saying: “Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand”. The Burgess Group includes every single intern in all of its projects which made it so exciting and motivating to come to work every day.”
