PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In each of our programs, all students start in our Sage Corps Skills Academy – self-paced, hard skill training for trending jobs. Students then connect with global startups in one of our international internship programs, either in-person or remotely. After the program, students join an elite alumni community — most Sage Corps alums find their next full-time opportunity within 3 months of graduation from college.
Programming Roadmap
01
Application
APPLY & INTERVIEW
After applying on our website, selected candidates will be invited to complete a video interview. We’ll then offer select candidates a spot in a Sage Corps program – you’ll be asked to sign a student agreement and pay the initial program fee.
02
Pre-Departure
ONLINE CURRICULUM MODULES
Before you leave, you’ll complete an online curriculum designed to prepare you for a comprehensive professional experience. The curriculum may include modules such as: professional networking, hard skill training (sales, analytics, marketing, design etc.), resume optimization, and cultural preparations.
03
Startup Match
Once you enroll in the program and complete the online modules, the Sage Corps team begins the startup placement process. In the summer program, you will interview with a pre-vetted company, starting with the best option selected by your assigned Program Manager. Once the startup confirms that it will host you, we have the startup sign a contract with us to formalize the match.
04
Orientation
IN-COUNTRY OR ONLINE
Orientation designed to acquaint you with your program city and prepare you to make the most out of your internship while introducing you to the other students in your cohort.
05
Intern at a Startup
Our team of expert career professionals match you to an international internship with a startup based on your skills, background, and goals.
The best part: ALL MAJORS ARE WELCOME! Startups cover all industries, such as education, sustainability, finance, big data, AI, VR/AR, retail, travel, and food, and many others.
06
Explore and Network
Throughout your program you’ll attend events and activities with your cohort and city manager, or online. Events can range from a cooking class in Barcelona or canal tour in Amsterdam.
07
Earn Academic Credit
Through our academic partner, Trinity, we offer our students the opportunity to earn academic credit while completing an international internship. Learn more here. In our semester program, we will enroll you in a local university abroad.
08
After the Program
JOIN THE ALUMNI COMMUNITY
The best part about a Sage Corps program is that it never ends. You’ll return home with a tremendous advantage: unparalleled global experience that positions you far ahead of your peers in the eyes of prospective employers.
And as a member of the alumni community, you’ll leverage a robust community of alums with connections to some of the world’s top companies and startup communities.
