Remote Graduate Internship in International Development at Dataville Research

Details

• International development is a popular career destination for many young people. Graduates can be found working in this field in a variety of international Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs), international organisations, consultancies, think tanks and academic institutions.
• Our remote internship offers young graduates opportunity to gain work experience. We share consultancy projects and participants are expected to possess maturity, character, initiative and self-reliance as well as problem solving skills.
• Already about 90 million people, roughly half NigeriaТs population live in extreme poverty, according to estimates from the World Data LabТs Poverty Clock. In June 2018, Nigeria overtook India, a country with seven times its population as the worldТs poverty capital. Also, the COVID-19 outbreak is forcing multiple relief and development organizations to limit travel and rethink operations.
• This calls for the training of a new generation of young development practitioners to fight extreme poverty through evidence-based research and simulated field work.
• This programme is delivered remotely across Nigeria. We are an equal opportunity and affirmative organization so women are strongly encouraged to apply to this programme.
