Description

Work experience is an exciting and challenging way to improve your English, gain insight into British working life and culture and learn new skills.

This is an invaluable opportunity to improve your English and to learn new skills. Designed for students, graduates and young job seekers

There is no salary because the objectives of the program are educational and offer a chance to gain professional experience. Many employers pay for daily travel and/or lunch expenses, but this is not guaranteed.

The program lasts from 16 - 20 weeks. You begin with a minimum 8 weeks of English Course, followed by a internship placement of 8 - 12 weeks.

Highlights

* Expert counselors to guide you along the way - 'We are here for you'
* Fully monitored placements
* Placements can be customized
* Placements in sales and marketing, business administration, tourism, information technology, hospitality, Advertising, and Public Relation

Qualifications

The work you do will depend on your level of education and qualifications, your skills and experience, and your level of English. Placements are generally in companies in Chicago. Job specifications and workloads vary, but you can expect to have your own responsibilities and perhaps your own project. Companies will interview you during the English Study phase of the program. Students are monitored during their placement and given advice on handling work assignments.

To apply:

* Resume or CV in English.
* Short essay (1-2 pages): the student has to focus on the kind of experience he/she wants to have, what he/she wants to learn, what kind of internship the student prefers, and why.
