Internships in Jamaica

Located on the southeastern coast of Jamaica, sitting in an amazing natural harbor, lies the largest city in the country, Kingston. Here in the capital city, interns can find a plethora of great internship placements. Those who intern in Kingston will most likely stay in a shared apartment or with a host family, where they will have access to a larger variety of restaurants and shops than those who intern in other locations throughout Jamaica. The key to a happy internship in Kingston is to go where the locals go, and of course have a great time!

The town of Mandeville is located about 100 kilometers west of Kingston and interns will be pleasantly surprised by its somewhat cooler climate, since it is situated at about 2000 feet. Those who intern in Mandeville can expect to work with organizations and on projects that focus on developing and assisting poor communities. One of the most common internships in Mandeville is working on literacy programs; by helping children and older students improve their level of literacy interns will help them to continue and advance their education.

Right next to the city of Manchester, or about a forty-five minute drive from Mandeville, is the parish of St. Elizabeth. Upon arrival, interns will be surprised, in a good way, by its pristine and rustic aura. Internships in St. Elizabeth are most often located in the areas of Black River, Accompong, and Santa Cruz.

Additionally, as honorable mentions, there are some amazing internships in Jamaica at Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios as well.

Most individuals who intern abroad in Jamaica will have the opportunity to travel around the country, both on the weekends or after their internship is over. One of the most popular trips is to the Milk River Bath, where a natural hot spring is renowned for its healing powers, and it is a great way to spend the day after a busy week at your internship in Jamaica.

Learned to integrate knowledge into practice with an amazing mentor

What I enjoyed most about the remote Clinical Psychology internship was how it became a meaningful part of my weekly routine. Every Saturday morning, watching the sunrise and joining the sessions provided both mental stimulation and a sense of purpose. The structure—from introductions to ongoing check-ins and the final review—made learning feel natural and engaging. The content was extremely useful, generously shared, and covered updated and practical topics applicable to future work in psychology. I learned to integrate knowledge into practice, consider multiple perspectives, respect cultural differences, and work effectively with patients as well as their families or support systems. The internship strengthened my professionalism, empathy, confidentiality, organisational skills, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability, contributing significantly to my personal and professional growth. What made this experience truly exceptional was my supervisor. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented but also genuinely passionate about teaching and supporting her students. Her positive attitude, warmth, and encouragement created a judgment-free environment where I always felt comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. My supervisor challenged my inner blockages, inspired me to push beyond my limits, and made learning enjoyable even during intense or serious work. Over time, I came to see her as both a mentor and a friend, whose guidance and energy profoundly shaped my growth and deepened my passion for psychology.

My favorite part about this internship was getting to meet and work with new people from across the world. It was great to have their input as we worked, because they brought up points that I hadn't thought about.
