Experience Education Internship Providers Inc. (formerly Vancouver Internships) provides all-inclusive internship and co-op placements to university and college students from Canada, the United States, and Europe. In addition to that, we work in close partnership with numerous Languages Canada-accredited ESL/FSL schools and both public and private Canadian universities to manage their in-house internship and co-op programs.
Specialists
We are dedicated specialists. Internships are an important part of post secondary education. But not just any old internship will do, it has to be an internship which is suited to your studies and your personality. The right fit is so crucial - the match alone is what makes the difference between a regular run-of-the-mill placement and an enriching and life changing internship. And making that match, that's what we do.
