Looking to gain international experience without leaving the country? In this session, we will introduce Fiji Virtual Internships as a way to develop skills, gain international experience and start building your global network.
Join the Global Experience program for an introduction to the benefits of virtual internships and for information on the Global Experience Award for Virtual Opportunities. A special guest from Think Pacific will be joining us to discuss the opportunity to participate in a Fiji Virtual Internship (this opportunity is unpaid). If you are looking for paid opportunities, you may connect with us at globalcareers@mcmaster.ca
This is an experiential learning opportunity for students to put into practice what they have learned in the classroom:
– You will be working with real projects in Fiji within your area of study
– Program partners include Fijian government departments, charities, social enterprises, and start-ups
– Nine career sectors to choose from (Psychology, Health, Environment, Business, Marketing, Education, International Development, NGO Management, Sports Development)
– During the Discovery Phase, you will participate in training modules on cultural intelligence, the mindset for success, the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, an exploration of internship fields and partners, and much more!
– Clear learning objectives and outcomes related to your field of focus will be established and you will receive mentorship and support throughout the experience
– You will be asked to submit a reflection of your learning experience, and receive feedback from your mentor and the organization
– This is an unpaid internship opportunity, students will not receive remuneration for their work
– This program is not for credit.
