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 paid internship for college students and 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 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.

14. What happens between the 2 cycles of internship?

touch with the global INKOMPASS community;

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, on the other hand, we send you to another country for business purposes,
