Why work with HAESF?
Since 2004, HAESF has sourced over 100 successful internship candidates at prominent US companies and organizations. While a company’s reason for participating may vary, it is clear that the program does benefit companies in a number of key ways.
Talent : HAESF selects only the best talent from a vast pool of qualified senior and graduate students from elite Hungarian universities. HAESF conducts a rigorous selection process to ensure that internship candidates have the personal qualities, professional skills and English proficiency to excel at your organization.
No-Cost Commitment : All our participants receive generous living stipends, health insurance and program support to assist them throughout their stay in the US. HAESF also arranges all necessary visa sponsorship and work authorization. Thus you can receive a qualified, highly motivated employee without any salary/benefit requirements, or full-time hiring commitment.
Competitive Advantage : For companies operating internationally or working on transatlantic projects, it is also an effective way to broaden your company's knowledge base and expertise on European Union markets. Our intern candidates contribute not only their professional competencies but also insight on new market opportunities, fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to better serve your clients.
Human Resources Investment : For companies with a presence in Hungary or Central Europe, it is an effective way to attract new talent and compete in an increasingly global market.
Diversity : Hosting an international intern through our established and highly regarded program can serve to diversify your workforce. An international intern can open your staff up to new perspectives, creating a more dynamic office environment that fosters new ideas and a global way of thinking.
Flexibility : Our internship program is meant to be flexible and mutually beneficial for the hosting organization. Host Companies direct the make up of the internship and set program expectations through an official training plan. Therefore your company decides what projects and duties the intern is meant to do. We can also be flexible regarding program begin dates and duration to match your business cycles.
