"The Ollie Cape Town-experience was truly the best gift I could have ever given to myself. I learned so much about myself, but also about other personality types and how to work together best. The Ollie team was always there to help with anything internship or non-internship and really helped us to become the best version of ourselves. Next to that South-Africa is a beautiful country, which we explored in our weekend-trips away. Definitely a recommendation for anyone!"
"I had a great time exploring Cape Town with Ollie. Not only did they match me with my dream internship where I got to work on many cool projects with South African people, but they also organised amazing weekend trips to the mountains. Almost every week Ollie organised events where we got to meet entrepreneurs that we could connect with. My network grew rapidly and meeting people as well as the Ollie workshops gave me a very clear idea of my dream career!"
"My experience with the Ollie Cape Town entrepreneurship program has been truly amazing and life changing! The program provided an immersive environment that blended hands-on business experience, networking opportunities, and personal growth. 🌍"
"From September 2024 to January 2025, I had the pleasure of interning in Cape Town, South Africa. This incredible adventure provided me with valuable insights into both my personal and professional development. With Ollie’s support in these areas, alongside the amazing internship company they matched me with, I had the time of my life."
"The five months I spent with Ollie Cape Town were truly an amazing experience! I enjoyed every moment, knowing I could always count on the Ollie team. The internship they arranged for me really aligned with my study program."
