Internships
Unfortunately ISA does not have a formal internship program. Looking at our on-going projects; available mentor teachers; and the current demands on faculty; ISA cannot offer you a worth-while internship and will not be able to entertain your request.
Interviews at recruitment fairs
We are unable to arrange interviews before recruitment fairs, however we would recommend that you come to our stand to meet with our Administration team during the fair.
