12. Got questions about INKOMPASS? We're here to answer them all. Find out
how and why to apply for our paid internship.
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, 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. 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.

them with us as well!
