Internships in Ethiopia

Addis Ababa, the nation’s capital, is one of the most popular locations for internships in Ethiopia. Addis Ababa, sometimes spelled Addis Abeba, and meaning “new flower,” is a chartered city, meaning it is classified as a city and a state. The city is home to headquarters for many international and continental organizations, including but not limited to: the African Union, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the Federation of African Societies of Chemistry (FASC), and the Horn of Africa Press Institute (HAPI). Needless to say, there are a wide range of internship opportunities in Addis Ababa.

Dire Dawa. Also a chartered city in Ethiopia, and the second most populated, Dire Dawa offers internships ranging from healthcare to journalism. Home to Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma International Airport and several markets, Dire Dawa is considered an industrial center. The city shares a longstanding history with much of Ethiopia, as it was developed around a railroad terminus.

Adama. Situated along the road that connects Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa, Adama, also known as Nazareth, is a bustling transportation hub. This modern city also plays host to Adama University and Adama Stadium, the home of Adama City FC, a member of the Ethiopian Football Federation league. From internships in business to community development, Adama has a lot to offer international interns.
