Internship Hosting
Internships are now being offered in-person again, but we are still offering remote opportunities
Some take on an intern, or even a team of interns, to conduct research and feasibility studies. Others seek interns with specialized skills to work on tasks for which the company has little experience. While many need extra hands to work on specific projects and events.
We aim to ensure that the experience is mutually beneficial for both the intern and host. So that the student leaves with a better knowledge base than when they arrived and the host has been able to achieve workplace outcomes.

“The value that The Global Student adds to the program and by extension the employers that take on these students is seen in the effort taken in screening and matching with organisations like ours. As such we have been able to put these students in real life situation working on projects as team members with our staff.

“We have worked with TGS for years on our internship program because the interns placed by TGS has proved to be better matched than the interns we would otherwise get on our own. With the longstanding partnership builds an alumnus of TGS-SUARAM interns that has passed and shared opinions and thoughts on the organisation and what we do so those placed with us already have a clear idea what to expect and they to do.”
