Our Covid-19 placement guarantee for 2021/22
Our Covid-19 guarantee for placements in 2021/22
We know many people want to book placements and internships for 2021/22 but are concerned about paying money now in case their plans are cancelled because of Covid-19.
We want our interns to have the excitement of booking their placements with the reassurance that if anything changes because of Covid-19, we’ve got your backs.
So we launched our Covid-19 guarantee.
What is the Placement Year International Covid-19 guarantee?
It’s very simple. For all placements booked with us after 9th October 2020, if the placement cannot go ahead because of Covid-19 then Placement Year International will either:
- Start your placement remotely, then help you join the host company in-person if/when international travel resumes, or if this is not possible;
- Do a placement in a different destination which is NOT affected, or if this is not possible;
- Postpone your trip to later dates, or if this is not possible;
- Cancel and get a refund
Placement Year International will also not charge any admin fees for making the changes.
Note that normal cancellation conditions apply if you cancel your placement for any other reason (not related to Covid-19).
What about flights?
If your placement is abroad, we recommend only booking flights that are date changeable and refundable (airlines often charge a fee for changing the date or cancelling flights but these are normally fairly modest). Placement Year International can give advice before any flights are booked.
