The process to enroll in the Internship Program is:<br />
Inquiries from students:<br />
Agents and various associates recruit potential students and/or students inquire to schools directly.<br />
Review of eligibility:<br />
<strong>GEOS</strong> Languages <strong>PLUS</strong> determines if prerequisites needed for the program are met. We ask that:<br />

proficiency requirement, they will be expected to study at our schools until the required English or French<br />
level is reached.)<br />
b. Students have appropriate work experience and education for the work desired.<br />
Level check (if requested):<br />
Our schools can send written evaluations or arrange telephone interviews to ensure the students’ linguistic<br />
abilities in English or French. This is a complimentary service.<br />

Students or the agent representatives submit applications to the schools of their choice. Students must<br />
register for a minimum of 3 months in a Semi-Intensive Course, an Intensive Course, or a Super-Intensive<br />
Course. The length of the internship should be equal to, or less than, the time of studies.<br />

Victoria is definitely<br />
perfect city for studying<br />
English. You don’t have to<br />
worry about entertainment<br />
that disturb you from studying<br />
English. I’ve learned many<br />
things not only English but<br />
also culture of Canada.<br />
Whenever I’m exhausted or<br />
not motivated, I’m encouraged<br />
from counseling with <strong>GEOS</strong><br />
staff. [<strong>GEOS</strong> Victoria] helped me out to find job and make<br />
my resume. The business course that I took for 2mth was<br />
really helpful for my work experience. They can help students<br />
even about personal problem like home-stay, visa issue.. etc<br />
not only about English. I could learn many things [from my<br />
work experience]… how to treat Canadian customer, what<br />
Canadian culture is like… of course English too!! When I<br />
started to work, I wasn’t able to understand what costumer<br />
was ordering. That was most difficult part of my work. What<br />
I tried to solve this problem was keep paying attention on<br />
customer’s mouths and tried to figure out what they were<br />
saying. You would face lots of things make you feel frustrated<br />
when you experience work in Canada. But after you overcome<br />
it, you would be stronger, and much more mature!!<br />

my internship in marketing.<br />
<strong>GEOS</strong> got me an interview in<br />
June, I liked the company and<br />
then I started my part time<br />
internship at Nota Bene Gifts<br />
in August for 4 months. Nota<br />
Bene Gifts is a small greeting card company which uses paper<br />
from Nepal, Himalayas to do their high quality designer<br />
cards. In January of 2010, I got my work permit and I started<br />
to work part time for this company because I was studying<br />
French at <strong>GEOS</strong> at the same time. I’ve been working for them<br />
since January and nowadays I work directly with my clients,<br />
providing everything that they need and we are always<br />
looking for new challenges to make the company bigger.”<br />
