11. FAQs

12. Got questions about INKOMPASS? We're here to answer them all
Why does INKOMPASS offer a 2-cycle approach?
INKOMPASS is a college internship program that 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, 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 learn and 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.

13. What happens if I don’t want to commit myself to participate in
the 2nd cycle?
We strive to ensure you have a great 1st cycle experience so that you
eagerly look forward to get selected for the 2nd cycle.
However, in case you do not want to continue, there is no obligation for
you to do so.
For more information visit here : http://www.inkompass.global/Ecuador-internship-program

14. What happens between the 2 cycles of internship?
Staying in touch with you throughout your internship journey is very
important to us. You will hear from us between the 2 cycles of your
internship, through:
1. Invitations to company activities and events (if we have them, for sure
you´ll be part of them)
2. Communication from your COACH and BUDDY.

15. I reside outside of the country where I would like to do my internship,
can I still apply to the program?
If you apply and are accepted to an INKOMPASS internship in a country that is
not your primary country of residence, you will be responsible for covering any
expenses that may arise in order for you to be present and available in the
internship country for the duration of each cycle.
If you want to be an Ecuadorian INKOMPASS and you´re coming from a
different country you will need a work permit to do so.
If, on the other hand, we send you to another country for business purposes,
then all related expenses will be covered by us.

22. Will I be assigned a group project or an individual project?
The projects that we assign to our INKOMPASS interns are carefully
selected by our teams in each country. Depending on the scope and the
expected deliverables of these projects, we decide if it is best that they are
carried out individually or by a project team. In any case, we always make
sure that all of our projects meet high quality standards and that they are
meaningful and challenging for our interns.
Interns are never alone during their INKOMPASS experience. They receive
support, coaching and feedback from their Coaches, Project Sponsors and
Buddies.

23. What type of guidance and support can I expect to receive
throughout my program, to help develop me professionally?
Every INKOMPASS intern will receive day-to-day guidance and support from
their COACH, who has the same function as a supervisor. He / she will
introduce you to your project, clarify expectations, guide you on a day-to-
day basis, and provide you with feedback.
In addition, you will also receive support from:
• Your PROJECT SPONSOR, who will ensure you have everything you need
in terms of resources and budget to execute your proposals;
• Your BUDDY, who will help you answer general questions and network
with different people and departments in the company.

24. What is the criteria for advancement into the 2nd cycle of the
program? How will I be assessed?
During the 1st cycle, you will complete a project with a definite scope and
deliverables, based on which you will be assessed. We believe that both
WHAT you achieve / deliver and HOW you do so is important. This is why
you will also be assessed on the behaviours you display which should be
aligned with our company’s work ethics.
Throughout the experience you will receive feedback and guidance so that
you understand what is expected of you. The final assessment will take
place at the end of each internship cycle.

Your insights, feedback, and ideas are very valuable to us, so please share
them with us!
