Program Details & FAQ

Who can apply?

Students from Grade 8 onwards, including college students.

How long is the program, and how many hours a week?

It's flexible. You tell us how many weeks and hours a week you can commit, and we build your plan around your school calendar and exams.

When does it start?

Whenever it works for you. Start dates are set to fit your school calendar.

Is this a paid internship? What does it cost?

This is a learning program, so students pay a program fee. Interns are not paid. The fee covers mentorship, structured feedback, your portfolio project, your final report and certification. It depends on the length and time commitment of your plan, and we share it once you're selected.

Is it remote?

Yes. All meetings, feedback and work with GradIntent happen online, with no office visits. Some projects may include offline tasks you arrange yourself, like talking to teachers or classmates for research.

How are students selected?

1. Read the role and apply, or pitch your own.
2. If shortlisted, you'll be invited to an interview.
3. If you're selected, you'll receive your program plan and fee details.

How much help will my child get?

GradIntent sets the goals and reviews progress every week, but we don't give step-by-step instructions. Students research, learn the skills they need, and decide how to approach the work themselves. This is how real jobs work, and it's where the real learning happens. Our founder guides, gives feedback and helps when a student is stuck, but doesn't do the work for them.

Can it meet my school's requirements?

Yes. If your school needs a minimum number of hours, a report or a certificate, tell us in your application and we'll plan around it.

What will I get at the end?

Your published work, a final report on what you did and achieved, a certificate of completion, and a recommendation letter from our founder on request.

Will my child's face or name appear online?

Only with parental consent. Students can choose to work behind the scenes, and their work is credited in their portfolio either way.

I'm already a GradIntent student. Do I get priority?

Yes. Students in Intent Path or institutional programs like Career Labs and Intent Sessions get priority consideration for interviews.
