PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Advantages of the EIC program
Living independently in a foreign country while completing an internship is a significant step in both personal and professional growth.An internship abroad offers your child a unique chance to work as a professional in a multicultural setting. This experience helps them adapt to a new culture, explore different work methods, and develop critical thinking skills. These are essential assets that lay the foundation for a successful career and set them apart from peers who haven't had such a valuable experience.
It's also an opportunity for your child to build independence while receiving full support through the EIC program. The skills and experiences gained in Canada will help them grow personally and professionally, creating memories that last a lifetime. Plus, having an international experience like this on their CV will enhance their profile and make them stand out.
