HISTORY

Creation of MyInternshipAbroad

In 2009 Yves Perret, a student at IAE in Aix-en-Provence, completed an internship in the United States. He was one of only three students in his class who managed to land an internship abroad, so he realised that there were obvious difficulties for students to live the experience he did. On his return, he decided to create the startup MyInternshipAbroad with the aim to pair French students with international companies.

2009

Launch of the J-1 Visa Program

The J-1 Visa is obligatory for any internship, employment or studies in the United States. Therefore, a service dedicated entirely to J-1 Visas was created alongside MyInternshipAbroad in July 2009. 100% of our visas are accepted by the US Embassy in Paris.

2010

Creation of a personalized coaching service

Thanks to Anglophone experts employed by the company, we offer students a personalized service which includes writing, translation and improvement of CVs and cover letters and also mock interviews in English. We support the students throughout the whole process of their applications in a more comprehensive way.

2011

Publication of our first Book

As we continued to grow as a company, we decided to publish our first Internship Guide : “Mon Stage à l’Étranger – Les Clés de la Réussite.” This comprehensive guide to internships abroad gives students access to over 1,300 companies across the world as well as useful tips on how to give you the edge over other candidates.

juin 2015

Launch of the Work & Travel Program

With this new service, our company moved into the US summer jobs area. This program is a simple and effective way for students to acquire an experience abroad working paid summer jobs, an experience which allows them to finance the trip.

septembre 2015

Creation of group Adiona

The Adiona Group was created to bring together all of the different products and services that we offer (internships abroad, J-1 visas, summer jobs in the US, etc. ) under a single entity.
