Partnership Intern - Creative Gateway Refugee Project
Free to start · No card · 5 credits the moment you sign up
Job description
We are looking for a few Partnership interns who are passionate about the intersectionality between the private sector and the development industry and how to maximize the value that strategic collaborations between them can foster.
You will be part of supporting youth in refugee camps throughout the world, starting from Kakuma in Kenya, home to over 280,000 refugees.
Our model involves teaching specific freelancing skills physically at the camps and then connecting them with companies once they graduate. Our first cohort was successful and we have a 100% success rate so far in landing gigs for graduates.
Now, we are looking to scale the project beyond only Kakuma to benefit youth at other refugee camps around Africa, such as Sudan, Somalia etc. Thereby, we are looking for contributors willing to invest time in the cause - and get invaluable experience and skills to propel you further in your career.
What we are doing is truly unique with its strong connection to the private sector. For this to work at scale, we need to come up with lean processes, investigate and maximize the value companies get from the collaboration, and onboard new and better private-sector partnerships for the next phases.
In this position, you will be contacting companies in the Nordics first hand - which revolves around experimenting with different approaches, having discussions with specific company decision makers, strategically onboard them to the project with value-add in mind, and navigating with the team in how to create specific content for onboarded partners.
The position is unpaid, while there might be opportunities later on.
The length of the internship is three (3) months.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Ambitious.Africa. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
