Our Mission
Create a world where guaranteed internships are accessible to all
It’s a classic dilemma: To get a job, you need experience. But to gain experience, you need a job. So, what’s the solution?
We have found a way to break this vicious cycle.
Internships are one of the main routes to work experience. Yet they are infamously hard to secure without prior work experience, relocating, or having the right contacts.
Our unique platform ensures intelligent, rapid matches between students and companies, provides access to real global internships at the world’s most exciting companies, trains students before and during the internship, and unlocks a global network of relationships.

“It’s an ever-evolving world out there. As per the World Economic Forum, it’s estimated that 85 million jobs will be displaced by automation and machinery. However, this shift will also create a window of opportunity for 97 million new jobs in various fields. Hence, it’s crucial for us at Virtual Internships to steer towards this direction and aid students and educational partners to align themselves with the jobs of the future.”
