Once again Pacific Cooperation Foundation (PCF) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) are excited to facilitate the New Zealand Scholarship Undergraduate Student Summer Internship for 2016-2017
This is following a successful introductory programme last summer.
A group of 16 talented New Zealand Aid Pacific and Timor Leste Scholars will be using their summer to give them a professional edge before returning home to find employment.
This year the programme will include 16 scholars as drive to build with host agency engagement continues, PCF Programme Development Manager Leaupepe Taala said.
“We are excited about the summer internship as we have another group of high calibre scholars , and increased interest from the private sector,’’ Ralph says.
PCF and MFAT hopes to use the opportunity and continue to expand the programme, giving more scholars the opportunity to grow professionally.
The 16 summer interns and host agency representatives will gather at the MFAT office in Auckland for an evening of networking ahead of the internship which starts on November 21, 2016 and finishes on February 17, 2017.
