An international internship will highlight the resume, from other students who they will be competing with in the workforce later on, especially if they do the internship since the early age. 

Collaborating with Singapore National Academy, we choose Bangkok as the ideal destination for year 12 students to experience their first international internship. The city is now considered as one of the best cities in the world for startups thus the students can get experience interning at one of the coolest startups on earth! In addition, Bangkok is also a great place to network with people from local and also foreigner as they are known to be very friendly and helpful.
