Virtual internships · 7 countries

Virtual internships built for how your country teaches.

Every programme is sized to the local credit system, timed to the academic calendar, and produces evidence mapped to the outcomes your accreditor reviews — NBA, ABET, UK-SPEC, EUR-ACE, CEAB or ECSA.

🇨🇦OPT-IN THEN BINDING

Canada

Virtual Internship for Students in Canada

Co-op pays CAD $25,000–40,000 per term and is prestigious — we do not compete with it. We reach the students co-op structurally cannot place: those not admitted, those who cannot relocate, those in a term without a placement.

240-hour programme · No national standard · workload comparable to a 3-credit course
September – April

🇩🇪MANDATORY

Germany

Virtual Praktikum for Students in Germany

The only market where an unpaid internship is both legally sound and academically required. A remote host expands the internship officer's placement pool without them finding another local company.

480-hour programme · 1 ECTS = 25–30 hours · 480 hrs ≈ 16–19 ECTS

India

Online Internship for Students in India

India is the only market where a regulator makes the internship compulsory and the institution has no capacity to source it. That combination is why this is the home engine.

120-hour programme · 1 credit ≈ 40–45 hours · 120 hrs ≈ 3 credits

South Africa

WIL Projects for South African Students

Students genuinely cannot graduate without WIL, and placements are scarce. Load-shedding, data costs and relocation barriers make asynchronous low-bandwidth delivery a real advantage rather than a compromise.

240-hour programme · 1 credit = 10 notional hours · 240 hrs = 24 NQF credits
February – November (southern hemisphere)

United Arab Emirates

Online Internship for Students in the UAE

The only market where the existing 120-hour product fits with no redesign. Target expat students at private and branch campuses — Emirati students already have government programmes paying up to AED 15,000 a month.

120-hour programme · Credit hours on the US model · 120 hrs ≈ 3 credit hours

United Kingdom

Virtual Work Experience for UK University Students

Not every student secures a placement year, and those who do not reach graduation with nothing structured to show. That underserved majority is the opening — and universities are measured on graduate outcomes.

240-hour programme · 1 credit = 10 notional hours · 240 hrs = 24 UK credits

United States

Virtual Internship for US College Students

The hardest market: no mandate, students expect $23.35/hour, and Forage already offers free brand-name virtual experience. The one honest wedge is ABET Criterion 5 evidence sold to departments, not students.

480-hour programme · 1 credit ≈ 45 hours · 480 hrs ≈ 10–11 credit hours

Questions about international internships

Can students outside India do an Engineers Clinic internship?

Yes. The internship is fully online, and each country has its own programme sized to the local credit system, timed to its academic year and mapped to the outcomes its accreditor reviews.

What is the difference between the country programmes?

The hours, milestones and outcome tags follow each country's system, for example NBA in India, ABET in the USA, AHEP 4 in the UK, CEAB in Canada, EUR-ACE in Germany and ECSA in South Africa. The projects, AI grading and certificate work the same way everywhere.

Is Engineers Clinic accredited by these bodies?

No. Engineers Clinic is not an accreditor. Its projects produce graded, outcome-tagged evidence that universities can use in their own accreditation reporting.
