Kate Parker, a 4th year BComm student, was able to experience a work term as a volunteer in Tanzania. “I have always wanted to do an internship placement abroad in Tanzania.”
While there, Kate worked at the Center for Street Children where she helped to create initiatives and small businesses which brought income to the children. “As a result of this internship, I gained huge insight into what it takes to run NGO’s in Tanzania, I exercised my business skills and last but equally as important, I developed an understanding of the environment and way of life in Tanzania. Any student hoping to gain a similar experience should remember that it takes a lot of initial work to set up the internship, but it is well worth the effort and time.”
