Curriculum: All CI programs center around an 8-week internship placement with a leading employer in their chosen field, together with a structured and purposeful blend of on-the-job learning (~250 hours), classroom-based professional and industry-specific skills training (8-units, ~14 hours), and a professional coach-led course of career planning (8-units, ~14 hours). As well as a calendar of (optional) socio-cultural events and experiences.

CI programs provide rigorous, immersive, and impactful experiences, and are distinguished by their 15-year track-record in equipping students with the skills, experience, and links to employers necessary to launch successful graduate careers.

2. Financial assistance – Early-career outcomes & accessibility

First job and first decade outcomes after college are critical. And form the yardsticks by which measure our programs’ effectiveness.

CI creates globally engaged, career-ready graduates. On average, CI alums get hired 3x faster and secure starting salaries 30% higher than their direct peers (by alma mater and major) right out of college.

(By contrast, nearly half of new graduates (in the US) are under-employed. And damningly, three-quarters of graduates who start out underemployed remain so a decade later.)

Our outcomes-oriented, workplace-based experiential education programs provide a vital (and effective) bridge between education and employment.

Accordingly, we endeavor to make our programs as accessible as they are effective. All students are entitled to financial assistance (up to $2,013.00 USD) from our employer-subsidized in-house student aid fund.
