Internships in Cape Coast, Ghana

In most ways, Ghana is still a developing country and there are numerous opportunities for international internships in Cape Coast. There exists a notable economic and social urban-rural divide, and both in and around Cape Coast there are several key fields with significant needs. Internships in Cape Coast will most commonly focus on social needs, such as counseling, women’s studies, or healthcare fields, including medicine and dentistry. Internship placements can be either urban or rural.

Modern day Cape Coast is a passively defiant city. In opposition to its violent past, the city has shirked the chains of its colonial heritage and has transformed into a hub and cultural capital of West Africa. Compared to Accra, Cape Coast is small, accommodating, and laid back. Travelers who intern abroad in Cape Coast can find the freshest seafood they’ll ever eat or learn about the city’s past at the Cape Coast Castle.

Great experience with OGVO

I had one of my greatest experiences regarding getting to know a new culture as well as the work environment in Ghana with OGVO. It was great to see the differences but especially the similarities in dental treatments and procedures in the office. Frank and his team are extremely welcoming, always ready to help and very professional. I would recommend OGVO to everybody who’s interested in doing an internship or any kind of voluntary work in Ghana. Especially the weekend trips were a great experience to get to know the country and the people even more. I feel I could take home so much positive vibes that it really was hard to leave Ghana after 3 weeks.

OGVO quickly stood out as a safe and trustworthy organisation. All my emails in advance of both booking and going to Ghana were answered quickly - usually within few hours. In Ghana everything went smoothly. OGVO met me and my travel partner at the airport and followed us to our lovely host family. OGVO had organized for me to work at a great dental clinic in Kumasi. I thank OGVO for a great experience in Ghana.
