Mindflight7 are here to help high schoolers take-off towards career one.
The unique Mindflight7 career inspiration method activates the mind and excites high
school kids with relevant career direction experiences delivered using fully immersive
virtual reality technology.
Our in-school incursions take our virtual reality-based career programs directly to
high school students. In this way, we provide high schoolers with contextualized
career inspiration programs and immersive learning experiences, helping guide their
future decision making today. What’s more, high schoolers can now experience the

them with more focused career decision making.
The Mindflight7 experiences are all designed to help every high school student
choose one or more career paths relevant to their strengths, interests and potential.
In this way, Mindflight7 lets any high school student see their futures today.
Position Purpose
This internship supports the delivery of virtual reality experiences in schools and other learning environments across New Zealand. As part of a small, energetic events team, you’ll assist the lead VR facilitator in running sessions, managing equipment, and engaging participants in a professional and inspiring way.
At Mindflight7, we work within a T-shaped organisational structure—this means team members are encouraged to develop a deep level of expertise in one area (the vertical bar of the T), while also gaining the ability to collaborate and contribute across different functions (the horizontal bar of the T).
In short, we value people who are strong in one thing—but also flexible and willing to help out in other areas. This internship is ideal for someone who’s curious, adaptable, and ready to learn by doing.
This is a casual, learning-focused role designed for university students or early-career professionals looking to gain hands-on experience in event delivery, education, or emerging technology. Training and support will be provided.
