About World Vision Internship Program:

Some of the Internship Benefits Include:
- Provide room for innovation by allowing interns bring new perspectives to issues and challenges that could be affecting World Vision Uganda.
- Enhance visibility of WVU in both the communities where we work and at Universities where Interns shall be recruited. If an Intern gets an interesting and rewarding experience in learning and contributing to Child Wellbeing through World Vision, they’re likely to recommend resourceful people/agencies and initiatives to WV.
- Build a pool of Christian development professionals for the humanitarian industry. Not all interns would be absorbed into World Vision Uganda upon completion of the training; world vision would have contributed towards enhancing their employability. WV will therefore be contributing towards build a well-qualified workforce for the local humanitarian industry.

- Providing a flexible and very cost effective workforce especially in scenarios where long term commitment is not required.
