DESCRIPTION :
UNPAID INTERNSHIP PLACEMENT:
An internship is a temporary, short and supervised professional experience in which trainees, who usually study in a University or a Business school, carry out a practical work placement as part of their education. Students on unpaid internships don’t have an employee status nor a work contract. Internships are unpaid; students may receive a training allowance, which covers some of their living expenses. Please note that this internship allowance is usually not guaranteed; it depends on the host company. Internships should not be considered as paid jobs. An internship agreement may be signed, depending on the country and the student’s needs. Students must be prepared to fund their entire internship abroad.
ELIGIBILITY: depends of destination (age and geographical origin of the student may vary).
Students applying for an internship abroad should have:
- the wish to improve their language skills;
- the wish to get a professional experience to improve their career opportunities, not to undertake a summer job;
- at least an intermediate level in the language studied and used on the workplace;
- some previous experience or skills in the work field requested or offered.
Specific requirements are indicated on each program description.
Depending on the program, it may be requested for the participant to be a full time student in his/her home country.
Trainees should understand that these programs are not designed for earning money, or earn some savings to bring back home, like a job abroad. These programs are educational language programs, in which the student gets language improvement and professional experience.
DESTINATIONS: Internship in England, Internship in France, Internship in China and internship in Canada.
ACCOMMODATION: depends on destination, please have a look on each internship program. Sometimes you can be lodged at your work place or you have to find your own accommodation.

Language courses may be offered on an optional or compulsory basis, depending on the internship program and the citizenship of the student (language courses may be a requirement for the visa application). These language courses are usually held in local language schools. The price of the language course may be included in the price or remains the responsibility of the trainee.
VISA:
Students are responsible for obtaining the necessary visas, work permit and Social Security coverage, if required. Please note that visa requirements are specific for each country and specified in each program description. These requirements may not be the same like for a job abroad. Visa requirements usually depend on the program, the host country and the citizenship of the student.
Some internship programs are only opened to students from a limited number of countries (in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, France and Spain). Work conditions, for example the length of the contract or of the working hours, may also depend on the citizenship of the student. Financial supporting documents, exam application or language course application may be required from the different Embassies to deliver visas.
Nacel is not responsible:
- for collecting visa information from Embassies;
- for supporting the visa application nor intervene with Embassies;
- for the local registration to national authorities if required;
