Stages to Applying

PIP arranges information sessions for interested applicants. If you’re not able to make it to a session, you’re welcome to write to us with inquiries via the website or Facebook.

We encourage all interested young Palestinian professionals to apply to PIP. Applying to PIP is free and does not mean that that the applicant has committed to participation. Only once accepted to the program does the applicant decide whether or not to commit to joining PIP. Applications are made via the “APPLY NOW” section of our website.

PIP carefully assesses all applications. Applicants that PIP thinks have a good chance of being matched with one of PIP’s host companies are invited to an interview. Given the high number of applications received, PIP is not able to interview all applicants.

Following the interview, PIP selects candidates for its “finalist pool”. “Finalist” candidates are those who PIP deem to be fit for the program and representative of the program values. PIP will then work with these candidates to apply to companies at which he or she is interested in working. Companies will conduct an interview or technical test for candidates.

A company will decide whether or not to make an internship offer to the PIP candidates. If the company makes an offer, the intern then decides whether or not to commit to becoming a PIP intern at the company. If the company decides not to make an internship offer to the intern or the intern decides not to intern at a certain company, PIP will endvor to seek an alternative host company for the candidate.
