How long is a Virtual Internship?

4, 6, 8, or 12 weeks – it’s up to you. You can also commit anywhere between 10-30 hours per week to your internship. The beauty of virtual internships is that they are flexible to fit your studies and lifestyle.

What companies could I be working for?

Host companies range from big organisations to startups and SMEs. Over 70% of interns work directly with the founder or c-suite member of their host company!

Why is internship experience so important?

A virtual internship gives you the chance to gain the soft and hard skills you need to succeed in your future career. You’ll be able to work with CEOs, incredible leaders, and more throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Will a virtual internship make me more employable?

1 in 4 interns are offered a position by their host company following completion of their virtual internship.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (US) released their 2021 Job Outlook report noting, “Employers continue to indicate that internship experience is the deciding factor between two otherwise equally qualified candidates.”

Gain the skills employers want

Not only will you gain the experience you need, but you’ll also gain the soft skills employers actively want in new hires by working remotely including time management, prioritization, cultural awareness, and so much more.

It’s more than an internship

You’ll be supported throughout by your internship experience manager. You’ll develop core skills needed to advance in the future through our professional development hub of 12+ courses. You’ll have access to a career coach who will help you leverage your internship experience to land the job you want. And of course, you’ll gain the valuable experience you need.

It’s entirely accessible – no need to relocate, travel, or commute

Internships shouldn’t be available only to those that can afford to relocate to big cities or travel abroad. Virtual internships make real-world work experience with innovative, international companies accessible to all, regardless of your degree choice, location, or background.

The Steps to Apply For A Virtual Internship:
Step 1: Book your (min. 4 week language course and min 120 hour internship) programme with EC and then continue the application process online to specify your interests and future career goals

Step 2: Meeting VI’s enrolment team on a short video interview to learn more about you so that we can match you with the best host company

Step 3: Be matched with a host company perfectly suited to you in 6 weeks or less

Step 4: Begin your internship with a start date that suits you best

Step 5: Gain valuable, real-world professional experience on your internship, build your skills with our professional development hub, and gain clarity on your future career path with your personal career coach.

"Conversation practise"

johanna ragnartz, student from Sweden

I had very good and informative conversation classes twice a week. My intent was to improve my professional language, but I got a professional coach. My teacher pushed me in thinking through my purpose of various kind of presentatoins, to target my messages and also how to present them in a more compelling way. My expectations was on language and wording, but I ended up in getting a full-on management class.

"Very professional, warm welcome, good teachers"

Paul Emmanuel Kapp, student from Switzerland

The school is very good located! The organization is very clear and the staff take really care of you. The teachers are competent and involved.
Perhaps some of them give too much information at the same time.
I stayed only two weeks and it is difficult to judge. I'm certain this manner of teaching will be perfect for at least two or three month.

"Combination EC Language School and New York City provided me the excellent language course and unforgettable experiences in NYC."

Andrej Huluk, student from Slovakia

I can recommend EC's 30+ course to all adults over 30 who are concerned to apply for a language course because of the presence young teenage students in the class. So, this course is tailored exactly for the needs 30+ people.

The general English course covered all the essential areas of everyday language i.e., talking, listening and writing. On average, there were from 6 to 10 students in the classroom, so the talking exercises were carried out in pairs with your neighbor. We worked with book and workbook delivered by school but sometimes teachers supplied students with additional work materials available in pdf, so students could work on his own mobile phones or tablets. At the school there were approximately 18 classrooms and all were equipped with very modern interactive tools connected to the internet.

All teachers were in term of language very skilled. They were helpful and supportive if the student had any question regarding the language. They were very nice in personal term too.

Even attending language course in New York will not ensure that English will stick to the student itself. To make the most of it I recommend participating and be active as much as possible at the school, do homework, also to take part after-school activities offered by the school (they were available every week, sometimes even for free) and communicate with people around. There is no easier way on hand to improve in English than this.

"Warm,powerfull and efective school !"

toshie ishizu, student from Japan

I attended school with a slightly anxious feeling for the first time. I do not need worry. The staff is warm. The lesson is set every day in rotation in the morning and the afternoon. Therefore I can enjoy various NY.It is possible for students to enjoy conversation with free coffee in a lobby in break time. I took a lunch with students everyday. The staff recommends us various nice cafe for lunch..There were ten students in the class. The teacher considers that all the members can participate in a conversation. Though I was a 1-week- student, I can learn the text which I purchased online after returning home. It is very useful. I had a very nice time in this school..

Beno Bajda, student from Slovenia

The teachers were good. Some of students were used cell phones thaat were disturbing at school.

"I learned a lot and improved my skills with success"

Alain Jordi, student from Switzerland

I loved to get new contacts to people around the world with the cultural exchange. The teachers are very, very good and they attracted the lessons with really good didactic skills. The location is NY downtown, beautiful for me. The housing was very good and my host welcomed me as well.

The only point is the coffee in the break. It was often empty till I had a chance to get one.

Overall it was a good success

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $80 when you register.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
