Internships in Malawi, Peru, and Vietnam with WUSC/Uniterra
Up to five subsidized internships in Malawi, Peru, and Vietnam will be available to qualified University of Manitoba students starting in May 2013. These 90-day internships are offered through World University Service of Canada (wusc.ca) and Uniterra (uniterra.ca), and are developed on a demand-driven basis where the final selection is made by the host agency. Internships are executed with local agencies in a variety of sectors including: education, the environment, small business, primary health-care and tourism.
"There are hurdles you need to overcome when doing an internship overseas. Putting yourself in a position where you need to test and identify your limits makes you a better person and increases your awareness of the world around you." - Vicki Latter, 2011 participant
