Careers & Internships

INTERNSHIPS:
Over the years, we have had students from diverse educational backgrounds — Science, Development Studies, Microfinance, Business, Arts, Medicine — intern with us. Our interns get to have a hands-on experience of the challenges faced by the poor; interact with various stakeholders, and come up with innovative solutions to combat the multi-dimensional factors of poverty.

Applicants for internship should submit his/her resume and letters of intent for the preferred topics, each not more than a page. For those applicants who are in Chennai or Kancheepuram, the interview will be conducted in person. For the rest, it will be through Skype at a mutually convenient date.
