The program is selective. The process is straightforward.
Share your background, interest area, and the type of role you are looking for.
Shortlisted applicants are invited to interview with the program team.
Accepted students are presented with a company project match — you have final say before committing.
Begin your 8-week internship with your host company and manager.
Skip the prestige trap — what really matters is what you’re working on, who’s mentoring you, and what skills you’re walking away with. A well-structured internship is worth far more than a famous name with very little to take away from it.
Interns engage in diverse projects depending on their interests, project scope, and the host company.
Some examples of projects our interns have worked on include strategy development, market analysis, cybersecurity, and coding MVPs.
Absolutely! Our team suggests company projects based on an applicant’s interests and notes from their interview. Details of the best fit projects are shared with students who have the final say in whether they wish to move ahead with the suggested match!
The program is fully online! Our team itself operates remotely across multiple countries.
Our fall cohort admission deadline is August 23, 2026.
The Edify College Internship Program is powered by a global internship platform connecting ambitious students with high-growth startups and mission-driven organizations. Applications and payment are submitted directly to the program.
