Each country has different requirements for INKOMPASS interns, in terms of country of residence, current year of study, timing of the program, etc. We encourage you to check your country's local FAQs by clicking the “Apply Now” tab and selecting the country where you wish to apply.

No. You are responsible for covering any expenses that may arise in order for you to be present and available in the internship country for the duration of each cycle.

Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
INKOMPASS offers a 2-cycle approach because it is an experiential job interview, giving you a better chance to showcase your skills and abilities and giving us a better chance to get to know you.
Across the two cycles, you will work on projects that will allow you to discover our business challenges, opportunities, processes and systems.
The 1st cycle will give you the opportunity to discover several aspects of our company (i.e. operations, people and culture) through projects that allow you to interact with people from different areas.
The 2nd cycle will give you the opportunity to experience a deep dive into a specific department or functional area.
