Social Economic Development Virtual Internship

Social Economic Development
 
Yes, you can still intern abroad this summer. Get the experience you need to land your purpose-driven international dream job – from home.
 
Spend this summer analysing photos of baby sea turtles or scanning drone footage of tropical coral reefs. Alternatively, set up a fundraising campaign for a women’s empowerment organisation or teach English to social entrepreneurs.
 
GVI Virtual Internships include work experience with governments, NGOs and social enterprises in locations around the world, daily one-on-ones with an assigned mentor and weekly masterclasses delivered by local experts.
 
After successful completion you’ll have a final project to show employers, a professional recommendation from your mentor, hours of project-based experience, many new skills to add to your resume and a global network of peers and industry professionals. You’ll also be able to add several certificates from the University of Richmond and GVI to your resume.
Don’t let the current global reality stop you. Get started today and make a living out of something you’re truly passionate about.
 
Program Details
 
When people have opportunities for decent work, everyone benefits. However, an estimated 10% of people still live on less than $1.90 a day. To exit the cycle of poverty, people need equal opportunities for alternative livelihoods, fair wages, safe environments, and social protection. These are the building blocks of inclusive economic growth.
 
You will learn about the drivers of social economic development and explore case studies illustrating bold and innovative approaches to development issues. Case examples range from government entities to NGOs, and from social enterprises to community-based organizations.
 
Program Structure and eligibility: 16 years old minimum age 
Proficient level of English language skills
