Step 1: Call for projects/selection process
- What is the Internship Programme (#IP)? #IP builds bridges between smart, impact-driven students (Bachelor, Master, MBA) from leading universities and game-changing organizations based in the European Union, United Kingdom or Switzerland that innovate for a nature-positive, healthier, more resilient world. It offers an exciting opportunity to drive your business to the next level or develop a solution for a challenging issue by hiring a dynamic, passionate and talented intern throughout 2024.
- When is the deadline for submitting a project? April 26. The call for projects is now closed.
- How many projects can I submit? 1 project proposal per organization.
- What should my proposals include and where can I submit them? All the information can be found on the registration form.
- What happens with the data submitted in the registration form? Data and information shared with InTent through the registration form will be kept internally and not shared with any other organization or person outside of InTent and the #IP. We are GDPR-compliant.
- How do projects get selected? Once all applications are received, we apply a screening process to pre-select the most promising organizations in terms of business viability and environmental and/or social impact. Then, we check the project proposals of these pre-selected organizations and further select the ones with the proposals we believe most suited to help the intern grow both professionally and personally.
- What does the paid internship cover? The allowance is designed to provide a competitive salary for the intern. The allowance will vary depending on the country in which your organization is based.
- What are my responsibilities if my project gets selected for a paid internship? If your project gets selected, you are expected to strictly follow the guidelines indicated in Steps 2, 3 and 4 below.
Step 2: Once your project is selected
- How will I find out if my project is selected? All project owners will be contacted directly by email to confirm whether their project was selected or not.
- What will happen if my project is selected? If your project is selected, we will ask you to fill in a job description based on our template. We will then upload the job description on a recruitment platform and provide you with login details to monitor the student applications that you will receive.
- How will the interview round work? You will receive student applications via the recruitment platform. You will be in charge of carrying out the interview rounds with the profiles that seem to be a right fit. Once you've made your decision on the final candidate, we also request to have a short bilateral call with the selected candidate before officially accepting the intern as part of the IP24.
- Can I advertise the selected project on my own to find the right candidate? Yes, you can use your own career page, social media channels and any other channels to create awareness for your sponsored project.
Step 3: Once you have chosen the ideal candidate
- Who makes the employment contract? This will be discussed with each organisation on a case to case basis.
- Will I have to sign a contract with InTent? We will provide you with a sponsorship agreement & a programme regulations document in due time. These documents will state the role and responsibilities of both parties and the payment terms and timeline. They will have to be signed between your company, your intern and InTent.
Step 4: During the InTent Impact Internship Programme
- Will support be provided during the internship? Yes, we will remain available to answer any questions you or your intern may have during the internship.
- Will there be any specific activities during the internship? There will be 2 major events, the Kick-Off event & the Summit (date TBC, more info soon), we are keen on building an InTent culture and community. We are aware that your intern must deliver to your project but at the same time we want to give students the feeling they are part of a joint programme.
- What are the Kick-Off and Summit 2024 about? Right at the start and end of the #IP, your intern will get together with all the other interns to discuss their respective projects, and draw inspiration from cutting-edge content related to sustainability and systemic change (more info soon).
