Intern opportunities

Communication Assistant internship

We are currently looking for a research communications intern, to help us manage our various tasks linked to our communications strategy for the project.

The main tasks that you will be expected to undertake include:

Education:

studying communication is a requirement to get this internship. Thus, students in Corporate Communication, Communication & Marketing or Communication & Journalism enrolled in a communication or business school or at university are ideal candidates. The further you are in your studies, the more responsibility you could be given.

Skills and Qualities:

you have to be a good communicator. You must be familiar with methods, tools and main principles of internal and external communication. Beyond technical skills, you need some soft skills such as impeccable presentation, professional speech and ability to adapt to every person you interact with. Strong English and Chichewa writing abilities must be one of your assets.

If this sounds like you, please email us at [email protected]
