Program Description
Our VIP Volunteer Internship Program is designed specifically for High Intermediate and Advanced level students and professionals who want to practice and improve their English skills in a real-world, American business work environment.

This is an unpaid language and work experience for students who attend a 4-week Preparation course first and pass the Internship Placement Test.

Personal Internship Coach
Every participant is assigned a personal Internship Coach who will provide the necessary support throughout the program.

Our Support makes a big Difference!
We don't just place our students. We support them during the entire internship!

Internship participants meet their personal coach every week to discuss progress and share valuable experiences. They also work on special assignments and complete an individualized self-study plan. Progress and attendance are carefully monitored.

Personal Coaching Sessions
weeks 1 - 8: 3 hrs per week
weeks 9 - 12: 1 hr per week

Certificate and Report
An official Intern
ship Certificate and a Progress Report are issued to all participants who successfully complete the program.

Internship

This course is not meant as a job training program and it is not intended to lead to employment opportunities. Participants do not necessarily need prior experience or training in the field of the internship.

Participants meet with the Internship Coach during the 4-week course before the internship to develop a resume and learn interview skills.
Each candidate is then placed based on prior work experience and language proficiency.

Professional Internship fields can include:

- Advertising
- Architecture
- Business Administration
- Banking/Financial Services
- Sales/Marketing
- Hospitality & Tourism
- Information Technology
- Legal Services

Placement in a specific field is based on availability and is not always guaranteed.
