Our internships are designed to provide language students and others with the opportunity to gain New Zealand work experience. These students come from all over the world - Germany, Slovakia and Japan to name just a few; and range from those who have just left school (no professional experience yet), to those who have a tertiary qualification, to those who are studying at an overseas university and would like to gain some work experience.
How it works:
All applicants must complete an Edenz Student Registration Form, provide a current CV (Resume), and evidence of their level of English.
Applicants indicate which fields of work they want to apply for. Edenz will match the applicant with any available positions.
Some businesses may wish to interview applicants and/or contact referees before accepting the applicant.
After reviewing the registration form, level of English, CV and any other documentation provided, the business will make a decision to approve or decline the application.
If the application is declined, Edenz will find another business to submit the application to and the process will be repeated until the applicant is placed.
When the application is approved, the business and the applicant sign a contract for the agreed period of internship and both parties are given a copy.
After the applicant is placed and the contract signed, the internship can begin on the agreed starting date.
Internships have a coordinator who supports the intern as well as the business should any problems or questions arise. The coordinator will accompany the student on the first day of internship, and will go through the workday orientation.
Please note: While Edenz has many businesses cooperating in its internship program, none are under any obligation to receive applicants. Availability of positions will depend on the type of industry and the time of year. Applicants should plan and book well in advance to ensure they can gain an internship in their chosen field.
