DESCRIPTION

Are you seeking a highly relevant online global experience in your field of study that enables you to develop professional skills and offers you a thorough cultural immersion in a unique African or Asian country? GEI’s Virtual Internships enable you to develop and apply your theoretical and practical knowledge in a supervised placement. You are matched with a local host organization according to your level of study, existing skills and desired fields. A specific internship plan is developed in advance of each placement. Academic credits are available, and you will be expected to complete some key course requirements. In addition to the placement, you will benefit from a pre-placement orientation, a weekly classroom with interdisciplinary training, and a weekly formal supervisory meeting. While GEI cannot guarantee that we will find a suitable host organization for you, placements are typically available in a range of fields. This includes Mental Health, Maternal & Newborn Health, Education, and Economic Empowerment. Custom placements have flexible starting dates with flexible duration (minimum 4 weeks).
