I never thought I'd be one of those…

I never thought I'd be one of those that give bad reviews online but i am really offended!
first off how did you make me go through an awfully long process of filling out an application, literally spent hours on video intro only to be told i am to pay a sudden fee! Application fee magically appeared on my dashboard....
A fee that was never mentioned, isn't that deceit? Worst still its nothing close to affordable, an internship position I will probably not be paid for and i am expected to pay over 1400dols?
Make it make sense please?
for what is worth, this is deceit in the highest level and they need to do better.
Also it is more honorable to tell people what they are getting themselves into...

Dear Ajuzieogu, we do endeavour to make the fee clear to applicants prior to application / profile creation - in most cases our program costs are covered by institutional partners such as universities, skills bootcamps of governments, but our program does remain available to individual applicants. Our UX team will work on ways to further highlight the fee before the process of building your profile starts - once again we're sorry for your experience and hopefully in the future we can find a institutional or government funding to allow you to participate.

Think thrice before you pay them.

Please don't waste your time and precious money with them. For the amount of money YOU as a payee have to GIVE to them to basically act as a internship agent trying to find you a company, the return on investment was absolutely abhorrent. I've only given 2 stars for their timely responses from the intern support team and the amazing internship coaches, who had useful wisdom to impart. But apart from that, this company is really not worth it. Most of the host companies are smaller start-ups, and it took an incredibly long time to find me a decent company that fitted my intern profile. The one I did end up with, had its management in shambles who were considering shutting the company down. I had little to no projects at all, and a lot of unnecessary daily team briefings because the company kept on stalling its own projects. At the end of my internship, I felt like I didn't gain much at all in terms of upskilling myself. All the big flashy words they've used on their website to reel you in are just that, words. An incredibly disappointing experience.

Antwort von Virtual Internships

We’re sorry to hear you weren’t satisfied with your experience with us at Virtual Internships. You are correct that we work with a whole range of companies, many of which are startups. The placement process should take a maximum of eight weeks, as we work with all the details of the intern and the host company to make the matches which are most likely to succeed. Once again, we are sorry if we did not achieve this timeline in your case. Thank you for recognising the support team and amazing internship coaches which are built into our program to ensure success and valuable learning outcomes. Within those support structures, interns are asked to let us know on a weekly basis if their projects are falling short of the advance project plan they are given, and we would intervene in such cases. It seems like we were not aware of your lack of projects in this instance and we would welcome the chance to put this right - could you contact us and we will work with you to rectify the situation as soon as possible.

Are you ready to pay around 1500$ for your placement ?

You spend more than 30’ making your profile with video presentations and everything all to be informed in the next step that you need to pay around 1500 dollars in order to start scheduling interviews, and in addition to that before the final step they ask you to evaluate the experience before they tell you that you have to pay !
I wouldn’t risk it when I don’t know the company I will be placed if it will offer me valuable experience and if I will find an internship that fits my needs

Antwort von Virtual Internships

Dear Vassia, our website and platform are constantly being upgraded and improved to ensure clarity around the program fee - we are sorry that the fee was a surprise for you. The majority of our placements are for learners undergoing a funded program (funded by their university, skills program, or government), so those participants will not have a fee associated with their Virtual Internship program. With regard to the host companies we work with - we are able to showcase example companies ahead of commitment from a learner, but we can never guarantee a particular host company will accept a specific learner, so instead we have our Internship Guarantee, where we will keep searching until a learner is accepted to a company aligning with their career field. We believe this is a valuable commitment and should reassure participants compared to the alternative of sending off hundreds of applications to internship positions and not receiving responses.

Beware the Glitches: A Review of Virtual Internshipsare the Glitches

## Beware the Glitches: A Review of Virtual Internships

Virtual Internships promises a dream scenario: a vast pool of free interns for companies and a wealth of experience for aspiring professionals. While the concept is enticing, my experience raises some red flags that both companies and interns should consider.

**The Onboarding Maze:** My initial interaction with Virtual Internships was far from smooth. Scheduling a meeting proved difficult, and the lack of video communication from the first contact felt unprofessional. The overall process lacked polish, with an odd focus on quantity over quality – evident in their "weird backgrounds" and a sense of being just another number on their platform boasting an inflated number of companies (19,000!).

**Looking for Fit, Not Just Numbers:** As a small travel design consultancy, I was surprised by their rejection. My specific needs weren't a priority, suggesting their focus lies in filling quotas rather than fostering an ideal fit between interns and companies. Both interns and companies need a personalized approach to find the right match.

**Free Isn't Always Best:** The allure of "free interns" can be misleading. Just like "free" website design often comes with hidden costs and limitations, a lack of investment in the matching process might lead to incompatible placements with little chance of success.

**Do Your Research, Consider Alternatives:** For both companies seeking interns and aspiring professionals looking for placements, Virtual Internships might not be the best option. It's crucial to carefully research any internship platform, paying close attention to details like the matching process, communication style, and focus on quality over quantity. Consider exploring other avenues that prioritize fit and offer a more professional experience.

**Remember:** There's no shortcut to a successful internship. Invest the time to find the right match, and don't be swayed solely by the promise of "free."

Dear Linda,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Virtual Internships and please know that we are working hard to constantly improve our interactions with every host company so it is valuable and noted.

Ensuring professional communication is a top priority for us, and very unfortunately, our colleague was unable to go on video as a thunderstorm had impacted her wifi signal. Obviously we should have clarified this better and perhaps postponed, but since both parties had rearranged the call time previously, we believed it was best to push ahead.

Regarding our host company eligibility (normally requiring three full time employees or equivalent), we recognise this could have been addressed earlier in the process and we will work with our teams to ensure other smaller companies or solopreneurs do not feel their time is wasted if they are ineligible. Many companies onboarding with us are in a fast-growth phase, so even if they currently don’t meet the criteria, they may meet it within weeks or months. Furthermore, this eligibility is not something we take lightly – we are passionate about the importance of SMEs in employability. However, many of our government and university partners have requested this minimum criteria to protect against various scenarios (e.g: supervisor sickness or vacation) which would disproportionately affect the learner’s experience.

At Virtual Internships, we strive to match interns and companies in a way that fosters mutual growth and success. We're proud to have been on the mission of bridging the gap between academic and workplace reality for the past 6 years and for successfully placing thousands of students in global internships. With regard to our program being ‘Free’, we indeed remain committed to providing a valuable service, and our operating model is such that our educational partners in universities and governments cover the cost of the program. In the interests of maximizing available internships for all level of interns, rather than just the most elite or experienced interns, we have no plans to charge fees to our host organizations. We recognise that our approach might not work for all organizations, but once again thank you for your feedback as it helps us grow and better serve our community.

Great opportunity...

Enjoyed my experience very much and would recommend! Was able to learn more about biotechnology and pharmacogenomics with exerts in the field in 6 weeks. Able to expand my network, learn more about my career prospects and learn a lot more transferable skills especially when working with international hosts. The application process was simple, had regular communication with my supervisor daily and send weekly reflections on the program. Would highly recommend!

My Experience At Virtual Internship.

What made experience great was the extreme support the Virtual Internship support gave me during my internship.
The company is doing well in the area of ensuring that all students get their placement as soon as possible, and ensure they are comfortable with the company they are peered with.

Amazing experience as a virtual intern

My experience was brilliant. I really enjoyed the opportunity to apply some of the skills I had learnt on my Bootcamp. As I was placed with a small startup company, I felt really valued and able to make a significant contribution. During my 12 weeks I learnt how to use WordPress which I had never learnt before and was put in charge of building the corporate website. The CEO of the company was amazing. Great communication and feedback. I would definitely recommend an internship.

The Virtual Internship followed my…

The Virtual Internship followed my Bootcamp in FrontEnd WebDeveloper & was designed to be easy to apply, with all the relevant information provided through webinars and by email. Opportunities opened up for me that wouldn't have been available if I had not participated. I highly recommend and would also partake in this experience again. Weekly reviews were completed online by myself and my supervisor and regular online chats were scheduled as a one to one with the Virtual Internship Team to ensure progression was made according to the projects planned with the host company. The projects are based on your own interests and host companies were available to us globally to enable you to choose a company that matches your values as well as passions.
