Career Preparation Activity
8+ week experience in an American workplace
After completing the Career Preparation Elective, you can continue your Practical English or Professional Skills studies and be placed in an American workplace around your class schedule. Intrax can schedule your placement activity for 10-15 hours per week around your core program & class hours.

Final Presentation and Graduation
After you complete your Career Preparation Activity placement, an Intrax advisor will help you prepare a professional presentation to share with your peers at Intrax and with potential employers as part of your online portfolio.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be on an F-1 student visa. The U.S. Department of State requires that official “internships” occur on a J-1 visa, not within an English language program. For information on Intrax’s extensive full-time J-1 internship programs, visit our US Internships Page.
