If your business uses specific software that your people need to know, great. Just let us know and we will ensure your interns have done the pre training so they can hit the ground running.
We facilitate internships both on-premises and remotely which means your on-premise intern could be local to you or be from another location anywhere in the world willing to travel to join your team in your office.
Alternatively – you can offer a remote internship which widens the pool for talent even further because you’re not having to worry about office desk space or proximity to your office. A study by the International Labour Organisations (ILO) estimates that around 50% of the global workforce could work from home, and so more and more companies are now engaging with interns from our around the world and embedding them in their team remotely.

You can also create a video of your internship position to showcase why your company is a cool place to work.
Once interns have applied for your internship opportunities, our team will review each application prior to you being notified. We want to make this as efficient for you as possible and don’t want you having to go through hundreds of profiles to select your intern. As we said before, we don’t put square pegs in round holes.

You will then be able to view the Interns profile, watch their profile video and select who you would like to interview.
Just like a regular recruitment process, we prompt you to interview intern candidates just like you would when looking to hire a new employee. Post COVID, 97% of interviews are now taking place on Zoom/Teams.

We work with a variety of educational institutions, government and even work directly with the graduate community. All of our interns are over the age of 18, and come with a varied level of experience.
Interns can do a wide variety of tasks, depending on the company and the specific internship program. Some common tasks that interns may be responsible for include:
– Assisting with research and data analysis
– Helping with marketing and advertising campaigns
– Participating in the design and development of projects
– Supporting the day-to-day operations of the company
– Shadowing and learning from experienced professionals
– Attending meetings and taking notes
– Handling administrative tasks such as scheduling and maintaining files
– Creating presentations, reports and other materials
– Providing support to customers or clients
Interns are generally given tasks that are designed to help them gain experience and learn new skills in their field of study, while also supporting the company’s operations. They are usually mentored by a supervisor or manager who provides guidance, feedback and support throughout the internship.
Yes, you can host more than one intern at a time.
Many companies choose to host multiple interns at once, especially if they have a large number of projects or tasks that require additional support. This allows the company to benefit from the energy and skills of multiple interns, while also providing more opportunities for the interns to learn and grow.
If you decide to host multiple interns, it is important to have a clear plan in place for how they will be supervised, mentored and trained. This may involve assigning specific tasks or projects to each intern, or dividing the interns into teams with a designated team leader. It’s also important to make sure you have the resources and infrastructure to accommodate multiple interns, such as enough office space, equipment, and software.
Yes, it is common for interns to sign a confidentiality agreement (also called a non-disclosure agreement or NDA) before they begin their internship.
A confidentiality agreement is a legal document that prohibits the intern from disclosing any confidential or proprietary information that they may come across during their internship. This can include information about the company’s products, services, business plans, customers, financials, or any other information that is considered to be sensitive or proprietary.
The confidentiality agreement should be drafted by a lawyer and should clearly define what is considered confidential and how the intern is allowed to use that information. It should also specify the duration of the agreement and the consequences for breach of the agreement.
Having your intern sign a confidentiality agreement is a good way to protect your company’s confidential information, and it also helps to set clear expectations for the intern in terms of what they can and cannot share with others.
Yes, you can hire your intern and it is infact our desired outcome.
Many companies choose to hire interns after their internship period has ended because they have had the opportunity to evaluate the intern’s skills, work ethic and fit within the company. Hiring an intern who has already been trained and familiarized with the company’s operations can save the company time and resources in the recruitment process.
It’s important to note that while internships are designed to provide students or recent graduates with work experience, they are not a guarantee of employment. Employers should always follow their standard hiring procedures and should not make any promises of employment during the internship period.
It’s also important to keep in mind any legal requirements and regulations regarding the hiring process and the intern’s status. Some countries have laws that govern internships and the rights of interns, so it’s important to be aware of those laws and ensure compliance with them.
Internships can be either paid or unpaid, depending on the company and the specific internship program.
Paid internships typically provide the intern with a salary or stipend for their work, while unpaid internships do not provide any form of compensation.
Depending on your companies geographical location, employers and internship programs are legally required to pay interns at least minimum wage, some also offer a compensation package including benefits like health insurance, vacation days, etc.
The laws regarding unpaid internships vary by country and by state, with some jurisdictions having stricter requirements for when an internship must be paid. In the United States, for example, an intern must be paid at least minimum wage if the internship is for the benefit of the employer and the intern is not receiving academic credit for the internship. When you engage in our program, our team will help to determine the kind of program that is right for you.
Our internship programs can span from as little as 5 weeks to 6 months depending on the kind of program requirements of any particular intern. We are also flexible with the number of days an intern can work which can be anywhere from 3 to 5 days per week.
