- The strongest candidates for internship and, where a vacancy exists, employment at Nirmal Kaya
On employment
Completing any Nirmal Kaya Academy programme does not guarantee employment, an internship, or any offer of work. Internships are offered by invitation to high-performing candidates when supervision capacity exists. Employment depends on performance, assessment and an open vacancy. Most people who complete our programmes will not be employed by us — many go on to work elsewhere, and some use the training for themselves alone. Anyone who tells you a course guarantees a job is selling you something.
