Intern with diverse microfinance organizations in Rabat, Morocco, which strive to advance the socio-economic status of others! Microfinance organizations address complex challenges, related to sustainable development and economic integration. Primarily, actions within the field of microfinance involve:

Assisting the entrepreneurial development of vulnerable populations, though providing the support and resources needed to launch their income-generation projects.
Providing training and capacity building opportunities, which build the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.
Ensuring that mentorship is available to clients, at all stages of their entrepreneurial development (before, during and after).
Developing promotion and communication content for increased advocacy, outreach and community development (for example, workshops, seminars, meetings, etc.).
Investing in building and strengthening relationships, to support clients with their efforts and promote inclusion.

Interns should come with a flexible, adaptable and communicative mindset, prepared to assist as needed and provide support under local direction. The nature of the tasks you’re engaged with during a microfinance internship will be influenced by your own skills, interests, and level of experience, while also considering current project and client priorities. This is a great experience for learning and using initiative!

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internship experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

Typical Schedule: Approximately Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm.
