For companies

Host interns without building the programme from scratch.

Companies run their internships in InternROI: post openings, choose interns, supervise the work and see what the programme achieves. Opportunities Nearby is where interns find your openings.

Your company account lives on InternROI.

Your opening, as interns see it

Every opening you publish in InternROI becomes a card like this on Opportunities Nearby. Five things make it work:

  1. A clear title, under your company name.
  2. The department and emirate, which interns filter by.
  3. Dates and planned hours a day, agreed before day one.
  4. The skills you are looking for.
  5. Apply opens InternROI, and applications come to you there.

Where it travels

  • The openings list on this site
  • Its own page, ready for Google job search
  • Feeds students and schools follow
  • Noticeboard posters in careers offices
  • WhatsApp, when interns share it

How hosting works

  1. Set up your company

    Create your company account on InternROI and add the people who will supervise interns.

  2. Post openings

    Describe each role from a template — department, dates, hours and the skills you need. It is listed on this site for interns to find.

  3. Choose and supervise

    Review applicants, offer places, and confirm interns’ hours and reflections as the work happens.

  4. See what it achieved

    Each placement ends with a verified record, and your programme has figures your leadership can check.

From a favour to a programme

Too many internships run on goodwill and email threads, and end with nothing to show. In InternROI the same internship becomes a programme you can see, with every hour and reflection confirmed.

Run as a favour: an inbox of unanswered threads about an intern, with no hours on record and nothing to show at the end. Run in InternROI: a programme report showing the interns hosted, planned hours confirmed, reflections confirmed by supervisors, skills gained, and past interns you can invite back.

What you get

  • Openings that reach interns, schools and universities in one place.
  • Applicants matched to the skills you asked for.
  • Simple supervision: confirm hours and reflections as they come in.
  • A pool of past interns you can invite back.
  • A return on investment you can defend, built from verified work.

Questions companies ask first

How much time does supervising take?

Supervisors confirm hours and short reflections as they come in, so it fits into the week instead of piling up at the end.

Can we host interns under 18?

Yes. Students under 18 sign up with a parent or guardian, and their profiles are never shown publicly.

Who sees our openings?

Openings you mark public appear on this site once InternROI has verified your company. Anyone can browse them, and applications come to you in InternROI.

How do interns apply?

From your opening, with their InternROI account. Their details come from their profile, and if they are studying, their school or university confirms they are a student there.

What do we have at the end?

Each placement ends with a verified record, and your programme has figures your leadership can check, built from confirmed work.

Can we invite past interns back?

Yes. Past interns stay in your talent pool, so you can invite them back for another placement.

We already use InternROI. Is there anything to do here?

No. Openings you publish in InternROI appear here on their own. To manage them, sign in to InternROI.
