Description

We offer internships for two types of applicants: Undergraduates (and anyone over the age of 18) and Graduates aged 21 and over.

Taking part in an internship placement shows prospective employers that you are committed to a career in that field, and that you have developed a professional fortitude that can be applied to other companies. The internships give people practical work experience in a specific field adding significant depth to their CVs.

As with all of WAVA's Internship programmes, this work programme in London is particularly suited to people in-between university.

Many Gap Year applicants or those who have missed out on a place at university often choose to take part in internship opportunities to get worthwhile career knowledge before starting university.
We have an extensive number of internship placements to complement the various skills of young people looking for work experience.

WAVA's Mission Statement

WAVA's Responsible Travel policy is its mission statement. It's not an ideology. It is not a cast-iron set of rigid guidelines and procedures. Rather, it is a spectrum of principles and concepts that promote co-operation and learning not only by those in the London office, but also with all other parties involved - travellers, partners and host communities - ensuring each can mutually benefit. We do our best to understand our travellers' needs, responsibly preparing them to have great experiences, and we produce content that accurately informs our travellers of what they can expect to encounter when abroad.
