Are you wanting to make a difference whilst gaining valuable work experience?

Take a look at Think Pacific’s Remote Fiji Internship Scholarship Program and apply for one of the 150 fully-funded internships.

Think Pacific is a registered Fijian Charity and UK social enterprise with over 15 years’ experience supporting Fijian Government Ministries, NGOs, local enterprises and business partners to achieve ethical, responsible and sustainable development, whilst allowing students to have a self-developing and rewarding experience.

Think Pacific’s Remote Internship program means students can contribute to international sustainable development and gain unique practical experience, whilst working from home. This internship supports the achievement of the Fiji National Development Plan; a 20-Year Development Plan with the vision of “Transforming Fiji” towards an even more progressive, vibrant and inclusive society.

Working on behalf of a Fijian organisation (across a choice of 10 sectors), interns complete a ‘Social Action Project’ that tackles real problems in the South Pacific, whilst learning about the fascinating Fijian culture and developing global citizenship.

These in-demand internships are hugely beneficial, flexible and fully customised to meet your career goals and academic requirements.

The End Result = Real Local Impact

Through your virtual internship, the culmination of your energy and hard work has the power to create tangible outcomes implemented at local level in Fiji

Your action projects are presented by our trustees to Government Officials or heads of international NGO’s and local charities so they may use your content to contribute to their ongoing aims and initiatives or develop new programmes.

You could be responsible for creating the next national health resource, new material being used by schools or community groups, or a marketing or business campaign that leads to increased job creation in Fiji.
