About the internship
Through an internship at FCG Sweden you will gain insights into how international development works in practice. You will have a chance to work on a broad range of subjects, from improving public service delivery to civil society development, private sector development, natural resource management and programme evaluations. You will see how a private sector actor works in international development, gain insights into many of the leading bilateral and multilateral organisations and be given plenty of responsibility and opportunities to learn and develop your skills and yourself.
Interns will be primarily allocated to one of our business areas – Public Sector and Civil Society Development, Natural Resource Management or Evaluation – but will likely have the chance to work with multiple business areas during the internship. Much of the work will focus on developing our business opportunities. This will include carrying out regular market analysis and research and assist us in identifying and preparing project opportunities and tenders. The interns will need to contact partners and experts by email and telephone, assisting us in various stages of the tender processes and support the recruitment for projects, among other things. Interns will also support the development of the projects and the project management team in implementing activities and approaches that work towards sustainable international development.
As an intern you will receive comprehensive induction trainings about the private sector in international development, project management, budgeting skills and the technical areas of our different departments. You will also have a chance to learn negotiation skills and develop international communication skills.
Please note that the internship is not paid.
