What We Offer
Variety of internship paths
Professional Internship sponsorship is available across a wide range of fields, including business, engineering, sciences, communications, architecture, and more. If you have a confirmed internship offer in your field of study, we can likely support it.
Compensation
Professional internships are paid by your host company directly. Compensation varies by employer, field, and location. Intrax does not set or guarantee a salary. Your offer letter from the host company will confirm your compensation details.
Develop training plan
Every intern starts with a structured training plan that outlines goals and responsibilities for both you and your host company, so expectations are clear from day one.
Frequent Check-Ins
Our Program Advisors check in with both you and your host company throughout your internship to make sure everything is on track and to support you if any issues arise.
Cultural exchange
Working in a U.S. professional environment is about more than career skills. You'll build cross-cultural relationships, gain insight into American workplace culture, and bring a global perspective to your team.
