Finding an Internship

Some internships are advertised on vacancy websites (further below), but many more can be found by searching within particular areas in the sector:

See the links in the left hand menu for internships in the following areas:

International Development Organisations,

Development Companies,

Charities and Non-profits.

If there is a specific organisation you are interested in, but they do not seem to run an internship scheme, it may be worth contacting them anyway. Even if they cannot offer you a full internship, you may be able to get a few days work experience.
