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.

"My experience was very good, although it was for a short period of time. I will probably be back in October this year."

António José Simões Matias, student from Angola

The host was nice, and the classes were very well organized with several topics indicated by the teacher and a few suggested by myself.
The classes were given only by a teacher, who was very demanding but whom I consider to be well-trained and knows pass clearly.

In general, I liked every class, and related with the teacher. I enjoyed your upfront claims and realization of activities.

I consider the school to be well-located, because I was staying in Cape Royal Hotel in Green Point.

I would have liked to stay for at least 30 days, but this time I could not.

"Everything was perfect!"

Jose Bumba, student from Angola

EC is a professional center. I felt comfortable learning English. In a short course (two weeks, only) I could learn many useful things; grammar, reading, speaking and listening. They have a competent team always available to assist us with all queries we may have regarding our teachers, accommodation or any other related queries. I also liked the activities offered by school, such as surfing, safari etc. The teachers gave us their education, life experience, talents and work experience, as well as their skills and knowledge. The best advice I can give to everyone is to go to EC Cape Town. I loved EC and Cape Town.

Thank you for all kindness.

Jose Bumba, from Angola

"Good"

Joao Ebo, student from Angola

I had amazing one-to-one lessons in Cape Town. One of my teachers, Warren Lilley, showed high clarity and was well-prepared during all lectures. EC facilities were well equipped.

"I liked to be there, good school of English."

Sebastiao Puna, student from Angola

I liked EC SCHOOL very much, I had a good experience, I liked the classrooms because they are very beautiful and small. The teachers are very friendly. The school has a good location. You can find around many restaurants and shopping. The school organises many activities such as soccer, visits to beautiful places of Cape Town. The best experience that I had was climbing the table mountain and I did 4 hours of climbing. I did not like the internet because it is very slow at EC School.

Thank you

"I chose the right school in relation to my objectives."

Sérgio Alexandre de Figueiredo e Silva, student from Angola

My objective and the reason for going to EC to learn and develop my English are related to my job, and I found that this school works very well. The English course was very good. The problem is that I only had two weeks free to do the course. The objectives were achieved and now I need to prepare the next two week course One-to-One. The teacher I had (Mrs. Tonia Gozzet), worked very well. She is very professional and came every day with a good sense of humor, which I think is important. She was always forcing me to speak and because it was one of my objectives with the course, to be more fluent in English. The school is very well organized and the staff is always available to help. For me the location is perfect, with many hotels and restaurants around the school, and the hospital is near the school, which is good (hopefuly no one needs it). EC is located in the center of the wonderful city of Cape Town, which is perfect. I only stayed for two weeks so I don't have bad things to say.
