Join Cam, one of our Virtual Internship Co-ordinators, as he takes you through the key components of the Virtual Internship. Learn everything from ‘what to expect’ to ‘what is an action project?’ in these short and bitesize videos!
At Think Pacific we are passionate about learning first. For us, this means having a comprehensive understanding of Fijian people, their culture and their history, alongside your chosen field of internship but in the context of the Fiji Islands. Only then can we hope to have a culturally-sound and sustainable impact. This is something our interns always throw themselves into and building their understanding for a unique and complex country is often a highlight at the end of the program.
With ample weekly live content you will have plenty of opportunities to boost your learning and experience. Some of the things to look out for:
- Weekly briefings to kick things off
- Professional Guest Speakers
- Past volunteers, interns and staff sharing their stories and career advice
- Question and answer sessions
- Cultural Learning
Our Action Projects are where you can really leave your impact. Work on real challenges for real organisations in Fiji. From government ministries to community-level start-ups, our organisations come with a range of projects so there is certainly going to be one to suit you.
When choosing an action project we ask our interns to consider three things:
- Are there any skills you want to work on or new ones to challenge yourself with?
- What are you career aspirations? Which organisations and action projects are a step towards that?
- What are you passionate about? Find an organisation that really resonates with you!
Yes, you will you have the opportunity to learn about Fijian culture and on top of that you will have the chance to meet people from all corners of the globe. Our online discussion sessions and virtual coffees make for exciting conversation, with interns drawing on a blend of perspectives and prior experiences. With our remote-working platform, networking has never been easier. After all, you never know who that next connection might be, a future job offer or a future business partner, so be sure to make the most of every opportunity!
The staff at TP are there to guide and mentor you through the internship. You can expect one-to-one and group mentor sessions throughout the internship to really drill down to what you hope to achieve. As well, you can receive guidance and feedback on your Action Project through Fiji insights and professional support.
Learn from industry experts in our Guest Speaker Series and participate in online workshops to boost your career skills. Our Skills Series will help you in tackling projects new to you, with a vast collection of videos and resources to see you maximise your impact. And finally, our staff are always on hand to support you through regular drop-in sessions and live Question and Answer sessions.
As a self-funded organisation, we are very transparent about the associated costs of our programs. These costs help us to have a wider impact in Fiji as well as providing you the support needed on your project. Please feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
