What is a typical outcome of the program?

We hope that as many as possible of the companies would be interested in hiring the interns after the internship, but we can’t of course promise that. The internship is a very good opportunity for a student to get experience and get a foot in the door in a company or an industry of their choice. All our interns have seen a positive impact in their job searching profile thanks to attending this program and many have also continued working at their internship companies.

Yes, we offer both onsite and remote positions. The first two weeks (training) is fully remote, after you start working for your company. This part of the internship can be fully or partially remote or onsite, depending on the company's wishes.

Does the internship cost?

This internship is free of charge for you. The company that you will do your internship in will pay a fee for your training.

Is this opportunity unpaid or a paid internship?
