Are you interested in working on projects, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of grant applications and the administration of ongoing ones? The Humanitarian Aid and Development Cooperation internship is especially for those who want to get a feel for working on development projects and are interested in working with regional managers, heads of foreign offices and a range of other colleagues from project teams.

"During my studies at university, I was already interested in development cooperation and humanitarian aid, so thanks to the Erasmus+ programme I took the opportunity to do a graduate traineeship at Caritas Czech Republic. I am currently working on the preparation of development projects in the Western Balkan countries. During the first month of my internship, I saw how things work in the non-profit sector and gained valuable experience in the development field in such a short time, for which I am very grateful."

Do you enjoy writing, working with texts of all kinds, and would you like to contribute to communicating the work of Charity Czech Republic abroad? During your internship in our international communications team, you can write and edit articles, create social network posts, or prepare our regular newsletter. You will also get a peek into strategic PR and marketing planning. Getting involved in many other activities, such as campaign preparation, photo and video editing, graphic work or administration is possible.

"The internship in the communications team offered a combination of the ideal things I was looking for - work experience in the field of communications and PR, which I plan to study, and working for a well-respected non-profit organization. I believe internships are one of the best things students can do professionally. Internships are incredibly valuable regarding experience, industry knowledge, and inspiring people to be around. You also experience much professional self-discovery during internships. I have yet to meet a person who regrets completing an internship."

Are you interested in Knowledge Management, organisational memory and data collection and analysis? The MEAL & Scale-up Strategy Unit will enable you to get involved in our work by collecting data on Caritas Czech Republic's activities from previous years and creating reports on our activities in countries where we have worked in the field of development cooperation and humanitarian aid. The internship also includes the opportunity to participate in the screening and analysis of monitoring processes and tools that are now being used at our missions.

"I applied for the internship to get an idea of running a non-profit organisation focusing on, among other topics, development projects and humanitarian aid. In the MEAL unit, I mainly worked on data organisation, through which I gained, among other skills, a higher level of knowledge of MS Office and experience working with applications such as Power BI and Power Apps. I appreciated my time here as an intern - not only for the new experience I gained but also for the great team - and I wish everyone all the best in future projects!"
