This intensive internship combines English language training with on-the-job exposure to American business practices. Internships are opportunities to apply the skills acquired in core English for Business (EB) or English for Communication (EC) classes. Interns are placed at a business or professional organization for 8 to 12 hours a week. All positions are unpaid.

Cooperating businesses represent many fields, including but not limited to:

• Advertising/Marketing
• Legal Services
• Financial/Investment Services
• Public Safety
• Health Services

This program is designed to develop your English skills in an American workplace environment. Every effort is made to match students with their business area of interest; however, we CANNOT guarantee placement in a certain company or industry.
