EIC accepts candidates into the program on a continuous basis. However, we recommend that candidates apply as early as possible, given the due process for admissibility and the unpredictability of the visa application process. Applicants cannot begin the internship without a visa; we recommend that students apply to the EIC program at least one month before the start of the desired internship period to avoid any delay.
EIC’s team of experts evaluates each application to ensure that the best candidates are admitted into the program. That is why each applicant goes through a personalized interview process. We are mindful that some opportunities can be time sensitive. That is why we will communicate the admissibility decision as soon as possible. Candidates should expect to receive the Decision within 3-5 business days following the EIC Initial admissibility interview.
I have been accepted into the EIC program. What is the deadline to complete the application process?

For internships beginning within less than 120 days of the admissibility confirmation
→ Confirmation is required within 5 business days following the admissibility confirmation
For internships beginning in over 120 days of the admissibility confirmation
→ Confirmation is required within 10 business days following the admissibility confirmation
Note that once the confirmation delay has elapsed, any candidate that wishes to re-engage in the program must complete and submit a new application.

Due to the high number of applications, our dedicated program specialists are currently working only with candidates that have officially confirmed their participation in the program.
As soon as you have confirmed your spot and paid the required deposit, you will be contacted by the placement team to build your professional profile. Your profile will be based on your prior work experience (if any), your educational path, and your general career objectives. This joint effort between candidates and EIC ensures that all participants in the program are presented with the internship opportunities that will best match their needs, goals, and interests.
Once the above is finalized, the placement team will begin searching for the employer & internship that best fits your profile. EIC staff will coach you to prepare you for the interviews that will help you lock-in the internship of your choice!
Most of the program participants are successful during the interview process, as our dedicated staff carefully pairs candidates and employers for the best possible match.
International internships are generally full-time, work-intensive jobs that require 35 to 40 hours work weeks. Depending on your location, your employer will determine a work schedule that best fits your situation.
Depending on your school program, you may be able to obtain credit for your internship. Typically, if an internship is mandatory for your program of studies, then you will obtain the corresponding credits if conditions are met (e.g., signed practical experience declarations). The candidate is responsible for meeting all the requirements mandated by the educational institution.
