ICROSS Interns programmes



The ICROSS Internship programme has been creating opportunities for students to develop their skills since 1985. We have welcomed over 850 volunteers, students, interns and trainees from 18 countries around the World since the programme began. While many volunteers are part of Government bilateral aid programmes others come from University degree study experiences as part of their courses. Others are young professionals who want to develop their skills and experiences.

Field staff, local teams,supervisors and  members of  local communities vote for their favourite intern of the year. Ozan from Germany won the award http://icrossinternational.org/news.aspx?id=133 for his committment and dedication.
This year amid stiff competition the Intern of the year was voted to be Jennah-Louise Salkeld from Australia.  There is more news about Jennahs internship on http://icrossinternational.org/news.aspx?id=149
Announcing the win this week the Head of Interns Saruni OleLengeny said " We are delighted that Jennah won this year, she is everything the ICROSS internship programme is about. Bill Maxwell who helps co-ordinate the scheme said " Jennah came to learn, listen and discover, that's the perfect approach for a successful contribution, she was selfless and focused"
Jennah is delighted that she won and has said she will be back to the programmes early next year.

The 2014-2015 internship programme will be announced next week.
