step1

Open Application

We open applications for available roles in partner organisations. We encourage candidates with genuine interest in starting a career to apply.

step2

Qualifying Candidates

Using an internal algorithm, we evaluate applicants and filter them based on their alignment with the partner organisations' values. Only the most suitable candidates progress to the next phase.

step3

Training

Selected candidates undergo a 2 to 3-month pre-internship training program. The training is designed to prepare interns for their roles, and it helps eliminate unsuitable candidates.

Sending Interns to Organisations

We recommend the candidates that completed the trainings to the partner organisation for onboarding, and to start internship.
