Please note: An internship placement is a volunteer activity, as such, it is understood to be outside of the Labour Law. A formal agreement document, to be signed by both the intern(s) and your zone company, will be emailed to the contact person listed above.

The pack will include: An internship agreement document, a confidentiality agreement form, a work plan template, a suggested outline for your interview(s), a job description example, and a feedback form to give to your intern(s) upon completion of their internship. The deadline for interns to apply to the Summer in the City internship programme is 17th March 2019. After this date, we will review submissions and match applicants with respective zone companies. We cannot guarantee a 100% match; however, we will do our very best to send the most appropriate candidate(s) to you. We suggest that interviews take place the second week of April and placements are confirmed no later than 18 April 2019. This will give students enough time to make travel plans, arrange transportation, etc. as needed.
