• Insurance: All of our students have liability insurance with the ITHQ.
• Once you have offered an internship to a student, a work contract is established as well as an internship contract.  The internship contract must be signed by your company and returned to the ITHQ before the internship begins.
• Students must be evaluated twice during their internship, once at the 200-hour mark and a second time one week prior the end of the internship. The evaluation must be done by the student’s supervisor. The ITHQ Internship Department will provide you with the two different evaluation forms. 
• The students will need accommodations for the entire duration of their internship.

In the last semester of their academic program, most ITHQ students undergo a final internship directly related to their training during which they can apply and integrate the knowledge acquired over the course of their studies.

These internships last from 3 to 10 weeks, depending on the program. They are typically held from Monday to Friday, but can also be tailored to the needs of the hosting company and the student’s schedule (e.g. including evenings and weekends). Throughout the internship, students are supervised by the ITHQ professors in charge of their evaluation

During their working hours, the unpaid interns are covered by an ITHQ insurance plan (CSST and third-party liability).
