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.

"Outstanding -- and the best part was the quality of the students"

David Benkof, student from Israel

I really liked my class, and both the instructor and the curriculum were impressive. But my favorite part was the fluency and eagerness of the students. I speak at an advanced level and was nervous that the class was "Intermediate," but it was perfectly advanced and taught at a nice clip. I thoroughly recommend this school.

"It was the first experience."

Sylvie GRÉGORIOU Dholandre, student from France

I liked this concept. It’s better than French lessons.
I had two teachers. I appreciated this. I had good relations with my partners into the classroom and I met beautiful people.

I would have preferred to have had the information meeting before arriving in Canada. This point has never been clear in the organization. I missed a lesson in class because the meeting was on the first day. It's a shame because I only had a week of lessons.

"Very friendly and welcoming faculty and staff. Accommodating to the students."

Aaron Sock, student from Canada

As soon as I arrived, I received a warm welcome along with a 1 on 1 orientation. Went through the necessary documentation and began learning. The class sizes makes the experience seem more personal. The location is great which makes break time lunch and/or snacks conveniently located.

"The exact school and program I was looking for"

Florent Mothe, student from France

EC Montreal was able to find the right teacher for my needs.
He adapted our one to one class to my level and understood what I needed to focus on while covering the basics which one always needs to review.

The school is located in the heart of Montreal at a 3 min walk from the nearest subway station.

I did not participate to any of the activities nor did I use the housing the school offered having other occupations outside of the school. Also, I was very glad that they were able to reschedule classes that i couldn't attend to.

I would highly recommend EC Montreal for their one to one program.

Dear John,

Thank you very much for your nice words.

We are glad to hear that you had a great time with EC Montreal.

We look forward to having you back with us one day in the future

Best wishes

"A great learning experience in a wonderful city"

Ahmed Slagour, student from Saudi Arabia

Learning in EC School was fun, although I only stayed for one week. It was an amazing experience, to say the least. The teachers and staff of the school were so nice. The school made me eager to learn because this school was just a warm place where everyone wanted to help you, and this helped me learn more French than I expected. Staying at Varcity515 was nice for its great location and the attention given to small details.

"EC International makes language learning accessible and easy for anyone."

Franklin Head, student from USA

I really enjoyed my time at EC International. The class size was perfect and I thought the location was great. I felt overwhelmed at first but I soon settled in comfortably. It was only once that I felt some students were taking over the lesson, but the teacher got us back on track. I really liked the cooking class but I would recommend it for an intermediate French speaker. All in all it was a great experience. I have nothing but good words to say about EC International.
