Deadline For Internship Opening Nears
Monday, April 14, 2008
There is one opening remaining for WDI’s Global Impact Internship program. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, April 17.
TechnoServe, Inc., a not for profit organization founded in 1968, has a $4.4 million grant from the Inter-American Development Bank's Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF). The funding will enable TechnoServe to run business plan competitions in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, specifically targeting small and medium enterprise (SME) creation to supply products and services for the economic base of the pyramid, or “majority” population.
Based in Lima, Peru, or Quito, Ecuador, the WDI student intern will assist in the development of a strategy by country concerning the sectors to be targeted by each competition (e.g. housing, agribusiness, energy etc), based on the socio-economic context and program constraints.
TechnoServe’s mission is to help entrepreneurial men and women in poor rural areas of the developing world to build businesses that create income opportunity and economic growth for their families, their communities and their countries.
