Program Overview

Gain practical experience in the sustainable energy sector of a developing country through this Clean Energy Internship. Assist with the research and work of an organization that addresses energy challenges in Southern Africa, with the ultimate goal of changing both private and public sectors and accelerating the transition to clean energy.

Your specific role and tasks will align with your areas of study and interests, allowing you to contribute significantly to your host organization's mission. This internship offers a unique opportunity to learn about clean energy development while impacting South Africa's environment and economy.

Ideal interns must have a strong interest in renewable energy, energy consulting, energy strategies, and analysis. Flexibility, a desire to learn, dedication, patience, and a passion for the environment are essential qualities for this internship.
