DIRECTORS
The internship program offered through FBN might be one of the greatest opportunities for NxGs in your chapter since its one of the most immersive experiences a member can go through. You play a very important role in making sure that the whole community is aware of the program and its benefits.
We want to make the process of becoming a host and an intern much more comfortable for our users, by providing a better overview and enhanced user-friendliness. Host companies will have complete control over offers and levels of visibility, and interns will be able to see featured offers and testimonials from previous interns, among many other features. In order for us to provide this good and ensure that the program continues to flourish, we are dependent on directors like you to help us get the message across: Become a host and become an intern and lets all contribute so the community can continue to grow and flourish!

BY FAMILIES FOR FAMILIES
FBN NxG International Internship Program is managed by volunteering NxG members with a huge support from the FBN Community. The main focus of the team is to create tools for the host family business and intern candidates to find each other and to help move the process of an application to a successful internship.
Kindly notice that there are countless combinations for country of engaged parties and their expectations from the internship. Therefore, once an intern applies to an offer, the host and the intern are expected to figure out issues such as work permit, visa, salary, accommodation, together.
The NxG Internship Team is happy to work together with the parties in an application to share best practices and support the process.
