Virtual Internship Opportunity

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

This internship is the final module in our Bridge Training Business Certificate Program for Internationally Educated Professionals and gives our participants the practical opportunity to apply their learning from our program, in the Canadian workplace. The courses they have completed in our program include English in the Workplace, Business Communication, Project Management Fundamentals, Workplace Culture and Success, The Strategic Employee and Advance Your Career.

Ideally, an internship with your organization would be for four weeks full-time or eight weeks part-time, for a total of 144 hours. Students are looking for placements in business, finance, administration, human resources, marketing and project management. By taking on one of our students, you will have the help of experienced, internationally educated professionals, who are building their Canadian work experience, but who also bring bilingual core competencies from a wide variety of academic disciplines and international experiences as well as skills from our program.

Types of organizations that could be a fit include:

• Banks
• Insurance companies
• Accounting firms
• HR and recruitment agencies
• Tech companies
• Consulting firms
• Engineering companies
• Micro-credit institutions among many more.

Students are bilingual, with professional fluency in French and English.
