Compliance & Vetting
We rigorously vet every host employer. We liaise with our US sponsor partners to ensure SEVIS compliance, insurance verification, and site visits, removing the administrative burden from your staff.
Addressing Equity &
Access.
We believe global experience shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy. That is why we have negotiated a unique Program Model with select host companies to democratize access.
- Upfront Fee Coverage
Host partners often cover nearly half the initial program fees upfront.
- Interest-Free Repayment
Students repay the loan via small, interest-free paycheck deductions only after they start earning.
The Result
This creates a realistic pathway for talented students who might otherwise be unable to afford the initial costs of an international internship.
