Our Internship Programme Team
Bob Alagh (Director)
Kia Ora and G'Day! I've been working in the education and internship field for 20 years. It all started in London in 1999 placing North American students in London organisations for academic internships. I moved to New Zealand in 2003 and worked in the International Office at a University before getting back into the world of internships and once again placing North American University students into New Zealand and Australian Organisations. Intern NZ and Intern OZ is based in the thriving, creative capital of New Zealand; Wellington. Wellington is a compact city that offers all that a city offers, plus all that nature offers, so I make the most of it! I enjoy fishing, playing cricket, cycling, and walking or tramping as it's called here.

Cordy Black (Internship Candidate Manager)
Kia ora, my name is Cordy! I grew up in Porirua, Wellington and now live alongside Te Awa Kairangi / the beautiful Hutt River with my partner and pets. Living in and around Te Whanganui-a-Tara is important to me, the motu (region) informs so much of my writing. I lived in Switzerland for a year, and love francophone culture. My academic background is broad and covers linguistics and Classics - knowing what people did in the distant past turns out to be surprisingly useful in the working world! My career history is incredibly varied and covers performing arts and writing as well as tech, government and PX / HR. I have always loved connecting people and the 'detective work' of matching people and skills to the right places and projects. I'm also a member of a charitable arts trust and a regular theatre reviewer and lover of the stage.
