12. Got questions about INKOMPASS international internship program? We're here
to answer them all
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 of this paid internship for college students, 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.

the 2nd cycle?

However, in case you do not want to continue, there is no obligation for
you to do so.

the internship country for the duration of each cycle.
