Community Based Internships

​​​​A list of internship opportunities with credible local and international organizations is regularly shared by CCECS in order to support students in securing internships during the summer break. Students are also encouraged to identify internships themselves, but this is subject to prior approval from CCECS and HES management.

Internship Requirements

HES students whose major does not require an internship must complete a community-based internship with a local and international organization during the summer of the second year. Students are required to fulfill a total of 60 to 80 hours in the same organization in order for the internship to be counted. 

Students failing to complete their internship in the summer of the second academic year must submit a valid justification. CCECS and HES management will take the necessary measures to ensure students successfully fulfill their internship requirement. ​​​

Process for Securing Community-Based Internship
