Internship Programme

Many in the refugee community seek to be productive and engaged in meaningful livelihood opportunities. This gives them a sense of purpose, increases self-esteem, resilience and decreases vulnerability to trafficking and other forms of exploitation.

YOU can make a positive impact on the lives of a refugee family!

The JRS Internship programme links values-aligned mentors who are passionate about imparting their skills with refugees who are keen to take on internship opportunities.

These virtual internships offer a transformative opportunity for refugee graduates from our digital education programme to hone their skills with meaningful training experiences. Local enterprises which engage the refugee graduates can benefit from the diverse perspectives and the IT and design skills which interns bring to their organizations.

Offer an internship to refugees who are keen to use their skills.

He is a true asset and gem. Haidar has been engaged for 3 months and he has increased our company’s productivity in areas that I have been wanting to focus on but unable to find the time.

Our intern has been wonderful throughout his time with us. He’s very reliable and quick to understand instructions. He has adjusted well to our fast-paced work setting and is able to understand the content brief we prepare, and comes back with results and revisions promptly. Beyond just fulfilling the tasks he has been assigned, he has also helped give perspective to our team members. His life-story, the obstacles he has faced, and the resilience he has shown is truly an inspiration for all of our team members.
