Not all educators teach a student in the classroom everything he or she needs to know in order to be successful in the professional world. Application of knowledge and skills such as solid work habits, workplace protocol, social instincts, adaptability, and creativity are learned through experience in a professional environment. Internships with Global Aid Direct are a valuable training because they combine the professional environment with the classroom structure and support. Students are guided by experienced staff to accomplish specific learning objectives through thought-provoking assignments that encourage further growth and development while they gain valuable experience in the professional field.

As a development nonprofit organization, our internship program helps students link learning and life.
