REMOTE INTERNSHIPS
HOW DO REMOTE INTERNSHIPS WORK?
Students work according to their host company’s time zone, which gives them the flexibility to manage their internship responsibilities with their supervisors. Interns are paid according to local rates, however, government subsidies are granted to support certain regions. To facilitate better communication with overseas companies, GEIP provides interns with subsidised language courses.
