Gain real world skills while making an impact
University students want to make a difference. Team4Tech’s University Internship Program allows students the opportunity to support international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) while gaining important professional experience and leadership skills.
Team4Tech’s internship program is focused on supporting nonprofit organizations working to improve education in under-resourced communities around the world. For university students interested in education, technology, and/or international development, who want to gain real-world experience and deliver solutions to educational nonprofits, this is a valuable opportunity.
Team4Tech’s University Internship Program each June-August is focused on supporting NGOs working to improve education in under-resourced communities around the world. This is a valuable opportunity for university students interested in education, technology, and/or international development, who want to gain real-world experience and deliver solutions to education-focused NGOs.
Strengthening Local Education Capacity
Leveraging technology and training, Team4Tech builds capacity for community-based NGOs serving under-resourced contexts worldwide, improving education that ultimately prepares learners for better jobs.
All learners deserve access to quality education—and quality education gives learners the keys to future economic opportunity. Team4Tech’s accelerator programming model fully connects learning to employability skills: a comprehensive skill set including digital, innovation, social-emotional, and cognitive skills necessary for the future.
Our partner NGOs achieve goals advancing educator and learner growth, learner engagement, and organizational sustainability and scale. These positive outcomes help NGOs expansively impact their regional educational ecosystems, enabling millions of learners to demonstrate digital readiness, master foundational skills, and prepare for employment opportunities.
Growing Student Leaders
Team4Tech’s internship program is a unique opportunity for university students to support our strategic NGO partners while building professional experience and leadership skills.
“The content developed by the Team4Tech intern team really helped schools in Malawi since there is a shortage of books in libraries. Now students will have access to a variety of information in physics, biology, and chemistry. This will definitely improve education in Malawi.”
