Internships in Canada

The advantages

1. Develop Your Professional Skills

An internship in Canada will allow you to put all the skills you have acquired during your academic career into practice. School training is essential, but an experience abroad is equally important as it will allow you to stand out from your peers in the eyes of your future employers. Your internship will enable you to acquire practical experience and provide you with the opportunity to evolve in a new working environment.

2. Professional Experience

A professional experience in Canada is an ideal way to increase the value of your CV. You will be given the opportunity to integrate a company in the field of your choice and accomplish several mandates in a work setting conducive to learning. The EIC program is designed to offer multiple tiers of mandates within the company of your choice for you to evolve during the internship, as you gain experience.

3. Expand Your Industry Knowledge

When joining the ranks of a company, you will interact with employees, management, and clients and understand the company’s core values and work ethics. Your internship will allow you to showcase your abilities and will place you in an excellent position to seek lucrative employment with that same employer or any similar enterprise once the internship is completed. Management is far more inclined to retain existing employees that have already adopted company values rather than start the recruitment process once more.

4. A Step Forward For Your Future Career

Practice makes perfect! As an experienced candidate, you are much more likely to be selected amongst a pool of applicants for a future job. In fact, an overwhelming majority of employers prefer candidates with relevant working experience, even for entry-level jobs. You will have already flattened the learning curve and will require less ramp-up upon your entry into the labour market. Additionally, the experience gained during an internship on an international level will give you a step-up on the competition.

5. International Networking

Always be mindful that personal relations are paramount! Business, contracts, and deals are signed by people, not by companies. Our program will enable you to meet and work alongside several professionals, including:

1. Personnel at your workplace
2. Other EIC interns
3. International students in your campus residence

One of the advantages of this program is that you will never feel far from friends and family, even if you are oceans apart! Between the friends from the campus residence, other interns in the program, and work colleagues, there will always be opportunities to build lasting business and personal relationships.

6. Operate in a Professional Setting

The workplace environment can be very different from a college or university setting. There are different challenges when integrating an established corporation versus a tech start-up: as a candidate, you must adapt and align with the values and people depending on the company you select. This process can be even more challenging when considering the intricacies of a multicultural working environment such as the Canadian workplace.

We have aligned our program to offer mandates that meet both the expectations of the candidate as well as the potential employer, to offer an optimal working environment for both parties. Our goal is to transform you into a professional that can identify and navigate these intricacies with ease and adapt to any workplace on an international scale.

7. Choose a Career Path That Was Made For You

An internship is an excellent way to test whether an industry, sector, enterprise, city, or country is made for you.

Starting from the first interview all the way through the practical experience, including the personality test and debriefing sessions with your coach, our program is the perfect tool to unlock your full potential!

8. Introduction to Canada

You can trust our experts to guide you through the discovery of this beautiful country and its culture. Rely on us on a personal and professional level to support you during the entire process. Your internship will have paved the way for numerous opportunities across Canada. Whether you choose to continue working for your employer, move on to another company, or decide to enroll into a Canadian university, your internship offers you endless possibilities.

9. Safety First

EIC takes the safety of all its employees, interns, and partners as a priority. The employers offering the internships are kept to the highest health standards as directed by Health Canada and the Provincial health authorities. Rest assured that all sanitary measures have been implemented on campus, and that all employers are following the correct protocol.
