Internships in Namibia

Namibia is located just north of South Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west and Angola and Botswana to the north and east, respectively. Namibia encompasses a wide diversity of ethnic and cultural groups, and has seen its national borders fluctuate significantly throughout the past two centuries as it has gradually thrown off the shackles of colonization and apartheid. Most recently Namibia gained its independence from South Africa in 1990.

As the nation’s capital and most populous city, Windhoek is generally the most popular destination where to intern abroad in Namibia. Sitting in the heart of the country in a basin valley, Windhoek is indisputably the economic, political, and cultural capital of Namibia. Nearly every major company and organization with a presence in Namibia is anchored in Windhoek, and there are a ton of exciting cultural opportunities to take advantage of there.

It is also possible to intern abroad in Namibia in more remote destinations such as the smaller city of Gobabis or other rural areas where much of the country’s population continues to reside. Your experience will be quite different depending on whether you live in an urban or rural area, so take this carefully into account while researching potential locations where you might undertake your internship abroad in Namibia.

Taking part in a nursing internship in India was a truly enriching experience, even through observation alone. It gave me the chance to better understand the Indian healthcare system, explore cultural differences in daily practices, and reflect on my own lifestyle and habits. Being immersed in such a different environment was both humbling and eye-opening. I learned to look at healthcare through a new lens and gained a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity in medical practice. I would definitely recommend this internship to anyone seeking more than just technical knowledge. It’s a story worth living, sharing, and growing from. RealStep also played a key role in making this possible by ensuring everything ran smoothly and supporting me throughout the journey.

I completed a nursing internship in Sri Lanka, where I was responsible for preparing treatments, taking blood samples, setting up IV lines, and doing wound dressings, among other tasks. This experience gave me a completely different perspective on patient care and helped me realize just how advanced the French healthcare system is. It was not only professionally enriching, but also a deeply personal eye-opener. I would absolutely recommend this internship. For me, it was a true life lesson. RealStep supported us throughout the entire experience, offering full guidance from start to finish
