What student placement

Virtual internships are internships that are done online or remotely. You are placed with a company, and have a supervisor that you report to. You are in regular contact with the supervisor/team via virtual methods such as video call, phone call, email and instant messenger.

How are virtual internships beneficial to students?

They allow students to gain the skills that employers are looking for in today’s market, alongside their studies. Students can gain the educational/theoretical knowledge from their courses, and then apply this knowledge within a real-world setting throughout the course of their internship. They can do this to a schedule that suits them and without having to leave campus!

Why should I do a virtual internship over a traditional on-site internship?
  • Virtual internships allow you to develop digital skills that are important in the 21st century. According to the Pew Research Center, internet literacy is an extremely important career skill, not only when it comes to building your resume but also when finding that all-important first job
  • Working remotely also teaches plenty of other skills that are just as important as internet literacy. Students completing internships online need to be highly motivated and organized. Without the constant supervision that an office setting provides, students must have the ability to manage their own time and complete assignments without constantly asking for assistance
  • Virtual internships are an excellent resume booster in that they develop and demonstrate a diverse set of skills that are of high value to employers
  • No travel required, so this saves costs and also reduces your carbon footprint
  • You’ll make connections in major organisations and network
  • You’ll build professional references from around the globe

We firmly believe that remote working is here to stay and will increase in popularity in the future.

Secondly, we’ve made it super convenient as you will be directed to a short series of video questions so you can do it any time, any place, anywhere. We want to learn more about your academic experience, and any previous work or internship experience if you have any. We will also focus a lot on what skills you want to build, and what an ideal career would look like for you.

What kind of companies do we work with?

What if I don’t like the company you’ve matched me with?

We will always present the best available internship that most closely matches the preferences you outlined in your application, therefore we encourage you to share your future career goals and the necessary skills you will need to get there during the application process. Prior to placement confirmation host companies require a virtual interview allowing you to learn more about the opportunity and the host company to understand how your skills and experiences align with their needs.

During the matching process, we follow a ‘linear placement process’ meaning that you are only introduced to one company at a time, and should you decide to decline the offer, that opportunity will be off the table.

It will normally take us 6-8 weeks to onboard a host company and to prepare you for the internship. If your requirements are very specific it may take longer, and we will advise you of that. We encourage applications as early as possible.

You can select the duration and hours per week that suit your preference. The placement can be 3,6 or 9 months.

Does the program mean I’m eligible for a visa?

Unfortunately no. Because the internship is remote, however, you can do it from anywhere – so you can complete the program from a location where you have eligibility to work.

If your virtual internship led to the company offering you a position, you can ask them to consider sponsoring your work visa at that point, however this is not guaranteed.
