The Global Encounters Internship Programme, inaugurated in 2019, assists post-secondary students and young professionals on their trajectories towards a life characterised by competent leadership, pluralistic understanding, and humanity-driven action.  The Internship Programme is open to university students and recent graduates. This is an opportunity for individuals to develop professional skills, build their resume with hands-on experiences at excellent institutions, gain exposure to development, deepen their understanding in various fields and develop personally.

 

Participants in the Global Encounters Internship Programme will:

  1. Develop new skills and gain meaningful work experience
  2. Experience diversity – be it of cultures, people, or professional sectors
  3. Contribute to development and service to humanity across a range of sectors
  4. Develop personally and academically through mentorship, peer-learning, and cultural immersion
