We offer quarterly internships for students from our partner academic institutions as part of our mandate. Our internships are unique in that we prioritize the profession and career needs of each individual and our team works together with the intern to design an experiential program that lasts 2 months. Our internship program allows students to learn firsthand how to design community programs, write competitive resumes, reports, network, build collaborations and seek out professional and career opportunities early.
Our interns have the opportunity to meaningfully participate in our running projects as peer educators, volunteers and communication persons. We incorporate job shadowing which allows the interns to role play as managers, field communication officers, and junior staff. During the internship each intern is attached to a mentor who guides the intern in administrative, operational and communication functions. At the end of the internship program we award a letter of reference to the intern, a certificate of completion and support the intern to write their academic report.
In 2023 we will open our doors to starting our International Internship Program in Leadership (IIPL) that will allow scholars, researchers, and academics from our international academic partners to travel to Uganda and conduct their research, practice at our offices in Kampala. The IIPL is a multi-disciplinary program that allows international interns to learn real-world skills, gain multicultural professional proficiency, and immerse themselves in community programs that increase their ability to work in diverse environments.
Our internship rounds are from January to March_June to August each year. We adopt a fairly competitive recruitment process for the internship program due to the limitedness of intern positions. We are interested in reaching and working with young professionals who need the experience the most and have limited opportunities to practically refine their knowledge and skills.
Interested persons can submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) to intern@mfai-ug.com once the solicitation message is published. Shortlisted applicants are required to attend a physical interview.
