Beyond Academy - A Program that Paves the Way for a Better Future!

Beyond Academy has proven to be an incredible work-abroad program! I had the time of my life for six weeks this past summer! I got to return to the greatest city in the world, London! As someone who's been to the city before, I was happy to be back and explore places I haven't visited before! They placed me with a beautiful company called Fourth Monkey. They are an actor training academy and repertory theatre. I was able to gain further experience as I continued my career endeavors. With that, I also enjoyed the events that Beyond hosted each week! It gave me the chance to meet and mingle with other interns.
Some of whom became close friends! Now, there were a couple of things I felt could be future improvement opportunities. The first thing is housing. Now, where I stayed was nice, but where it was located was the issue. It was located almost an hour away from where I worked, so I had to take drastic measures so that I could get to my work placement on time. I think that can be fixed, just so that there are no travel issues. Also, I was unaware that transportation to the airport at the end of my internship was not provided. I feel that can be an inconvenience to some. I did not have a problem on my end, but I think it would be nice if they could provide ride-share or transportation options for the interns when their time is almost over. Besides those two very small things, this company is incredible, and I hope that more people can have the opportunity to experience what I did this past summer! I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life!
