About
iXperience Cape Town is an intense six-week career-acceleration program for ambitious students who wish to learn industry-relevant skills and boost their CVs with an impactful internship. This, all while earning college credits*, and exploring the beauty of Cape Town.
You'll begin with a week of Global Studies to immerse you in history, culture, and current events. Then you'll take two weeks of classes (choose from 8 subjects) that will push you to learn in a boot-camp style environment. After two weeks of training, you'll be matched with a local company and tasked to work on one of their projects for three weeks. This gives you a taste of professional life—as well as concrete deliverables you can add to your resume.
More than that, you’ll meet a group of diverse students from around the world – many of whom will become the friends and network you'll keep for life.
