Testimonials
“Working at Transitions Online was certainly an eye-opening experience. I did not have any relevant skill or knowledge before working here, but I gradually learned the procedure of writing grant proposals and contacting people through various work tasks. More importantly, my work here created great synergy with my studies at college. I realized how important journalism education and support are for the future generation while doing my researches for the organization.” – Joon Lee
“I am glad I got to be a part of a team where my work leads to direct impact, and where learning and collaborating is valued. The flexible hours made it very manageable between travelling and studying. Most of all though, I realized how important being a business person is, even at non-traditional business related companies. I would encourage business majors to look a bit more outside the box when it comes to internships (especially abroad) because the opportunity to work in a different country and a different sphere that you would work back home will give you an unmatched experience that can really set you apart!” – Anagha Mahesh
