What happens if I'm accepted into a virtual/remote internship program?
If you're accepted into our virtual/remote internship program, you might be wondering what comes next. After you've confirmed your enrollment on our program with a tuition deposit, here are the next steps:
1. Placement process
We want to ensure that we find you the best internship match, which is why we go through a collaborative placement process.
Interview and match
Once you are enrolled in our program, our expert placement team will begin by creating a professional profile for you that will be sent out to our extensive network of host organizations to find a role that best matches your profile. You will then have an interview with the host organization to ensure that it is the best match on both ends.
Confirm role
Most of our participants are successful with their first interview because our placement specialists are highly knowledgeable about the labor market and have our interns’ best interest in mind. If not, we will continue to search for the next best match. During the placement process, you will also be asked to submit the first of the two installments of the program fee payments.
2. DDI assessment
