Internships
“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.” - Thomas Jefferson
Internships... Outstanding graduates from our University level programs are eligible for internship oppportunities with our Center, NGO partners, and our corporate partners. Internships are an ideal opportunity to put your new skills and competencies to use in the real world.
Flexibility... You may choose to work with CGL one session and then one of our partners another session - moving seamlessly back and forth (it’s all good in our eyes.)
- CGL and NGO Partner Interns... You will be on the ground, helping to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Yes, life changing stuff.
- Corporate Partner Interns... In addition to providing invaluable skill building opportunities, our corporate partner internships allow you to “test drive” potential companies to see if the organization is right for you in the longer term.
