Taking place in an NGO, the marketing and graphic design student internship allows you to gain international work experience while contributing to community projects. Bring your knowledge and benefit from training by the team on site, which will transmit its know-how to you. Discover a new culture, and have an enriching experience by exchanging with the locals, your colleagues and the other interns!
Go for a student internship that will allow you to work in an international setting, while helping us carry out community development activities in Southern Africa.
Whether you are looking for experience to enhance your resume, need to validate an internship for your university, or simply want to contribute to a project, we like to make our internships as beneficial as possible for each participant.
Like all of our humanitarian internship programs, the internship in South Africa allows you to gain university credits while making a positive and lasting impact on the local community.
In NGOs, for this student internship, the participant, although unpaid, is different from a volunteer, as he/she is expected to bring some knowledge and/or experience in the field in which he/she works. There are fewer internship positions and competition for them is higher. Interns will work at a more career-oriented, strategic level and develop local ability to work effectively and meaningfully.
Interns are also expected to take on more responsibility and create their own goals and seek out activities to be involved in or lead.
They will also be assigned a mentor to guide them during the internship.
Upon arrival, our team will accompany the interns for the beginning of their student internship. Our interns have a world of expertise to offer, but all objectives must be established with the in-country partner so that the results are sustainable even after the intern returns.
Your assignments may include going directly into the field to research the market, organising focus groups on specific issues, or creating events and marketing materials. You may also participate in team meetings on the strategies to be implemented and the necessary graphics.
