Internship (4)

IIRR believes that youths have a lot to contribute to fight poverty. For this to happen, it has introduced an internship scheme for university graduates so that they can have the opportunity to try their hands in practical challenges in development and in capacity development endeavors. This year, IIRR-Ethiopia would like to start this scheme by placing four interns in the various project sites of the organization. The interns will stay in project sites strictly for one year, a time believed to be sufficient to learn and contribute. The one-year service is non-renewable and doesn’t guarantee employment with IIRR. Since the internship position is not an employment, no salary and other benefits will be paid to interns. However, the organization will provide a modest amount of money to cover living expenses. Applicants to the internship scheme should have a BA/BSC degree and no history of employment. Women applicants are particularly encouraged to apply.
