You can take on an internship through Avella Sights and experience international business first hand.
The best and brightest business people often come from a place of deep cultural and social knowledge. They understand their industry, their markets and the systems that make them run effectively. International Business internships with Avella Sights are an unparalleled opportunity to get the practical and cultural insights you need. This experience will help you stand out in a fast-paced international business environment.
We’ll arrange for you to travel to Uganda and become an international Business intern with a company. You’ll immerse yourself in their day-to-day work and get you the chance to build connections. First, we’ll work with you to identify where your skills and interests lie. Then we’ll place you in an internship that will allow you to pursue your own career goals. You’ll work with permanent employees and business leaders to better understand your chosen industry. You’ll also be matched with a supervisor who will support you throughout your internship.
This tailored, intelligent approach to an internship will set you up for a bright future.
