Learning English in Canada may begin with books in the classroom, but at VGC we want it to end with fluent and confident discussion in the workplace. You’re motivated. You’re ambitious. You’ve honed your English skills, and now you’re ready to get hands-on international work experience with VGC’s Professional Paid Internship in Canada!
VGC Language School’s Paid Professional Internship in Canada program is for our highly advanced students. You will work with English-speaking co-workers in a professional Canadian work environment in a field of your choice.
Though not intended to be a vocational training program, each placement will see you assigned real responsibilities on projects that will help you gain hands-on business skills and great international work experience as your English improves. It’s the perfect way to refine your English skills and introduce yourself to the global business community.
During your Professional Paid internship in Canada you will work in a professional setting for at least 30 hours per week. Because of the professional nature of the work you will receive a small stipend to help offset your costs.
Students who wish to participate in a Vancouver Professional Paid internship must complete Level 9 of VGC Language School’s English for Academic Purposes (30 hr) program. Your internship begins once you finish your English classes. However, it remains a part of your overall studies. During your internship, you must write online reports to update us on your work experience. At the end of your internship, you will give an oral presentation to your internship coordinator. To graduate from VGC, you must successfully complete your paid internship program.
Our experienced Vancouver internship placement counsellors will do their best to find you an internship in your industry of choice. They will help you write your resume and prepare you for your job interview. If you ever have any questions or concerns about your internship, do not hesitate to contact them to find a solution. VGC will work with you and your host company to make your paid internship in Vancouver successful.
