Step 1 Company offering position writes a short internship proposal Step 2 BEGIN sorts through the student database and selects three suitable candidates The proposal is sent to the candidates who decide if they would like to interview for the position Step 3 Once 2-3 qualified candidates are found, BEGIN sends the students portfolios (CVs, interest questionnaire, contact information, etc.) to the company The company interviews the students Step 4 If a match is made, the company finalizes terms for the internship directly with the student Otherwise, BEGIN searches the database again and supplies more candidates
