Virtual Internships Omdömen 155

Virtual Internships was a great experience. I gained valuable real-world skills like communication and teamwork, and it helped me build confidence in a professional environment.

Virtual Internships was very supportive during my time working with them and helped ensure I started an internship that best matched what I learned in my bootcamp. I was able to get more hands-on experience with real tasks and work with a multicultural team. I am very grateful for the experience!

I completed an internship programme through Virtual Internships in mid 2025. The programme offered practical exposure to project documentation, planning, and working within a global, cross-functional startup team.

While the experience was valuable and well-structured overall, the level of communication and feedback could have been more consistent. That said, it was a solid opportunity to gain real-world experience and develop relevant skills, and I’d recommend it to students seeking international exposure—just with room for improvement.

Virtual Internship (VI) offers a unique and student-friendly platform that emphasises real-world learning and professional growth. The guidance, structured tasks, and mentorship provided throughout the program make it a valuable experience for students seeking clarity, confidence, and career readiness. It is a commendable initiative that truly supports student development. Thank you so much, VI, for your support and guidance.

My experience with Virtual Internships was valuable and well-structured, offering real-world exposure beyond theory. The clear expectations, regular feedback, and supportive environment helped me build confidence and practical skills. Internships may start unpaid, but there is potential for conversion to paid roles based on performance.

For the cost you do get support from the internship but the placement I had was pretty poor. The tasks given were not what I had studied for and I averaged just over 1 hours worth of work a week instead of the 10 hours.

Feel short changed and haven't really learned much for what I paid and experienced.

. I’m writing to sincerely thank you for the incredible opportunity to participate in the Virtual Internship program. The experience was both professionally enriching and personally rewarding, and I truly appreciated the chance to work on meaningful cybersecurity and database security tasks under your guidance. It reinforced my commitment to advancing in the field—especially in healthcare and critical infrastructure protection—and I’m genuinely glad I took part.
As I continue progressing in my career—currently applying for Senior Technical Support Engineer roles in Canada’s SaaS and cloud sectors—I would be incredibly grateful if you could support my next steps by providing a letter of recommendation.
If possible, I’d appreciate it if the letter could highlight:
My technical contributions during the internship (e.g., database security assessments, automation scripting, or cybersecurity engineering tasks),
My professionalism, problem-solving approach, and ability to work independently in a virtual environment.
Please let me know if you’d be willing—and if you need any additional information from my end, such as my updated resume or specific submission instructions.
Thank you again for your mentorship and support. It made a real difference.
Warm regards,

I am a student at Botho University studying Health Information Management and I took Virtual internship program as part of my academic required.
The most exciting thing was being able to achieve the assigned duties through research, guidance and clarification from my supervisor. Also, getting support from VI zoom sessions, internship success advisors emails, coaching calls and my institution instructor.

The host company supervisor was very helpful and always available when needed even for urgent matters and always showed appreciation when work is progressing and inform immediately where there is mistake and a suggestion to correct.

In conclusion, I had a very great experience with Virtual internship program and I highly recommend that students take the program. It is such an amazing global exposure of which I'm extremely inspired and wish to have a permanent remote job.

You have to pay to work! and they don't tell you until the end

Internships for many students are the very start of our careers, which makes them incredibly important and valuable. Unfortunately, for most of us, the financial means to pay more than 1,000 euros for a platform that promises to help us find one is simply unrealistic. I cannot recommend this website at all because the logic behind it does not make sense. We invest our time and energy filling out every part of the application, completing all the steps, expecting that this service will actually help us, and then at the very end, we are asked to pay an exorbitant fee. You are dealing with students, many of whom are just starting out, and this approach feels far beyond reasonable, it feels like a scam. It is clear that the priority here is not helping students launch their careers but simply making money, otherwise, how can the payment process and the 1,000 euro fee be justified. Whoever decided on the pricing for this website should reconsider their perspective. Perhaps spending some time with actual students and understanding the realities of their financial situations and struggles would help put things into context. I personally had six or seven friends who were genuinely interested in using this service. I was the first to complete the application process, only to realize at the end that it was completely unreasonable to expect anyone to pay such a high amount. Everyone else immediately backed out for the same reason. I sincerely hope the team behind this platform can take a step back and consider being a little more human, understanding, and supportive of students who are eager to kickstart their careers but do not have the means to pay these kinds of fees. Making education and career opportunities accessible should be the priority, not creating unnecessary financial barriers that prevent motivated young people from pursuing their goals.

Hello, I have joined VI through my learning platform(E-careers), which has promised me that I will get complete knowledge of my course, practical, and technical skills. After qualifying in my course as an AWS Solution Architect Associate, I was referred to as an AWS DevOps intern by the VI team. It was completely disappointing. I have lost my money, my time, and my extreme hope for having a good job. There is no company, only a single person experimenting with some domain hosting and websites. No team, no senior, or any mentor for guidance or sharing knowledge. When I contacted the VI team regarding this, they replied as "You have to study yourself if you want to have experience in a particular field". If I have to study myself, why would I have chosen you?

Clearly, they are scammers, fraudsters, showing some kindness and honesty before, but later they will deceive you.

My best suggestion is to move on with some subscription videos online, study by yourself, or buy some books. In regards with internship experience, look for some companies that are real and can offer an internship at no cost. Please don't invest money in such cheap people who are fooling you.

This has not only happened with me, but all my colleagues studied with @E-careers and my friends selected @Virtual internship to gain experince.

Regards,
Faiza.

I went through the whole application process, recorded videos, etc, only to then find out for the first time that there is a price of $1,475 to get an internship. It would have been nice if that was disclosed before I went through all the trouble.
And typically if you want internships you are still at school and don't really have that kind of money.

We've had a really positive experience working with VirtualInternships.com. The account manager has been incredibly responsive, always quick to reply and ready to support whenever needed.

The platform itself is intuitive and user-friendly, with a smooth onboarding process and easy navigation throughout, especially when selecting and managing placements

So far, the interns I recruited have been fantastic, engaged, driven, and capable of handling real tasks. The host companies provide meaningful projects and mentorship, letting interns contribute in a way that really adds value

In summary: responsive support, a well-designed platform, and high-quality interns. Highly recommended for anyone looking to host interns remotely!

Having utilized Virtual Internships, we've seen great results, leading us to successfully bring on six interns to bolster our business operations.

I’m very satisfied with the service from Virtual Internships and had a positive experience with my intern. The platform delivered as promised, and the intern contributed meaningfully to the project.

That said, it’s important to have the right internal resources and a clear follow-up plan in place. With proper structure and communication, this is a smart and flexible way to bring in extra support.

The VI platform has made it easy for us to leverage interns for our use case. Thank you Virtual Internships for always coming up with the best fit.

At Blugate Software Technologies, we recently had the opportunity to provide internship experiences to aspiring professionals—and it has been both rewarding and insightful.

One internship has now successfully concluded, and another is currently in progress. Reflecting on this initiative, we’re pleased with how the program has allowed us to give back to the professional community while also gaining fresh perspectives from young, motivated individuals.

The process of mentoring and guiding interns has been a reminder of the importance of clarity, patience, and structured learning paths. It challenged us to simplify complex problems, explain the rationale behind decisions, and foster a learning environment rooted in real-world projects. In doing so, we also strengthened our own internal processes and communication.

Each intern brought their own curiosity, enthusiasm, and unique approach to problem-solving. It’s been encouraging to witness their growth and how quickly they adapted to the standards of a professional setting.

As a company, we see internships not just as a contribution to someone's career journey but also as an opportunity to nurture future collaborators, leaders, and innovators. We look forward to continuing this initiative, learning through it, and hopefully inspiring more young minds along the way.

I was pleasantly surprised to come across the Virtual Internships offering, and I was delighted when they delivered the whole way.

Professional staff and easy to use platform. A great first experience with taking on an intern in our small company.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain real-life work experience and mentoring, while hosts gain different insights and willing brains. We were very fortunate to find a great match first time around.

The quality of the interns and the support and guidance of the VI staff throughout the 10 week process ensured we got maximum value, at no cost. I would happily use VI again and recommend them to others.
