These firms have accepted interns in the past and when we get an application we approach them first. This usually results in a placement but we will also prospect new companies in the event that the past ones cannot take the intern due to a variety of reasons like timing, office space, change of office, etc. We do not have a pre-established list of available internships. Each internship is personally prospected for you according to your interests, capabilities, time and duration of participation.
If you have a request for a certain company or type of company please let us know and we will be glad to contact them and pitch you to them. Of course, we cannot guarantee that you will be accepted by them, but we will try our hardest. We have never had a candidate without a placement. In order to guarantee you this we require that each participant give us three areas of choice in which they would be willing to intern.
For example in business these could be Human Resources, Marketing, Finance. We will also allow you to give us three industries, for example Education, NGO, Event Management. You can also mix them, for example Fashion, Marketing, Design. The end results always depend on matching your skills and availability to the firm’s needs.
