Program Description:

SIT Study Abroad Switzerland: Social Impact Internship (Summer)

 

Gain professional experience at a think tank, NGO, start-up, or private business in the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland.

 

WHY INTERN IN SWITZERLAND?

With its vast network of Swiss and international NGOs as well as vibrant technology and finance sectors, the city of Geneva is a global player in humanitarian action, international relations, and human rights. You will complete a six-week internship with an organization working in the fields of sustainable development, impact investment, innovation and AI, fintech, public health, human rights, or environment and climate change as you explore concepts of global governance, social impact, and the ways technology can be leveraged for public good. Before starting the program, students work with SIT program leadership and internship mentors to apply for an internship at one of SIT’s partner organizations. During your time in the Geneva Lake Region, you’ll build a network of professionals and experts from leading international institutions, think tanks, and companies through site visits each week and will leave the program with new professional skills, insights, and inspiration.

 

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.
