12. Got questions about INKOMPASS? We're here to answer them all
Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
INKOMPASS offers an internship program for students with 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, 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.
All in all, it gives us a better chance for us to get to know you and for you to
learn more about RBH and different aspects of the business here. This will
help you decide if a career at RBH is what you are looking for.

the 2nd cycle?
