Graduate Internship in International Development (Registration deadline: October 13, 2024)

Remote Internship in International Development

International development is a popular career destination for many young people. Graduates can be found working in this field in a variety of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), international organisations, consultancies, think tanks and academic institutions.

As a graduate remote intern at Dataville Research, you receive tailored training, guidance and real responsibility from the beginning, quickly becoming an invaluable candidate in the global development sector.

Increasingly, international development jobs in developing countries are undertaken by nationals from those countries. This calls for the training of entry-level development practitioners working in policy development, developing donor relations and delivering aid on the ground. Our programmes have achieved regional and global recognition as a result of our commitment to curricular innovations, community and international partnerships.

No prior experience is required. All participants will need a computer or an android device, some familiarity with Windows and internet connectivity. At the end of this programme, participants should be well grounded in the rudiments of international development in developing countries, development research and programme implementation of donor-funded projects.

This programme is delivered in English only. We are an equal opportunity and affirmative organization so women are strongly encouraged to apply to this programme.
