Internships in Ghana

Ghana is rich in natural resources and it is known for sundry wildlife, historic garrisons, and quiet waters. The geographical diversity encompassed by the nation’s borders is immense, from grasslands and coastal forests to plains and waterfalls. Ghana is even home to the world’s largest lake, Lake Volta. Along with a great deal of natural diversity comes a fair amount of location options for internships in Ghana. 

Accra. There are about four million people living in Accra, making it the second largest city in Ghana. As the capital of Ghana, Accra is also the top internship destination in the country. There are two types of industries and populations of people in Accra, those that live in urban areas and work in office-style jobs and those that engage in agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishing and hunting on the outskirts of the city. Internships in Accra range from wildlife conservation to education to law.

Kumasi. Known as “The Garden City,” the city of Kumasi has a spectacular number of plant and flower species, and because of this gift from Mother Nature, internships in Kumasi often revolve around the environment. Internships in Kumasi may take place in conservation centers or environmental research facilities. There are also internship opportunities outside the environmental sector, including placements in manufacturing, engineering, and anthropology. 

Tamale. If there is one city in Ghana that is known for its drastic improvement, that would be the city of Tamale. Although various companies have recently opened branches in Tamale, the hospitality and tourism industries have especially seen fast growth. There are a number of newly-built hotels that house visitors from all over the globe, making the city feel slightly more international.
