Internship Programmes
This programme is a promising opportunity for students and graduates interested in gaining hands-on professional work experience or academic credit from their college or university while experiencing a new culture.
Our local staff carefully identifies placements suitable for international interns and provides all training, accommodation and support to participants during their stay. Depending on the type of work selected, the placements will occur in a rural or urban settings.
Internships are available in India and China (social/welfare, architecture, engineering, marketing etc.).
"In my opinion doing an internship in a developing country can be both a daunting and life changing experience for students. To date, our own students have found their internships with EIL personally rewarding and stimulating in terms of their future career development. I think what you offer on your internships is an excellent opportunity for students to get a good experience in a relatively 'safe' environment. Personally, I only regret that I didn't have a similar opportunity in my day!"
