Are you curious on how sustainability transitions are formed? Do you want to learn how a strategy is implemented? Then CBI has an internship for you! We are looking for an intern strategy and programme coordination at the CBI.
Intern Strategy and Program Coordination
You can make a positive contribution at the CBI. Because just like you, we have an ambition: to support developing countries in the transition to inclusive and sustainable economies. As a programme, we do our work with a focus on innovation, inclusivity and gender, climate, and entrepreneurship. Within the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) teams, you will learn to play a role in sustainability transitions and project development, and you can connect your interests and visions with our ambition.
This is what excites you:
- supporting the implementation of the CBI strategy 2021-2025, which focuses on sustainable transitions (e.g. conducting research into themes such as gender, youth employment and climate; helping to set up collaborations with international organisations; organising dialogues or round tables; preparing presentations);
- supporting the development of the CBI strategy for 2026 and onwards
- supporting the development of and experimenting with methods for sustainable transitions and process development (e.g. conducting research into methods; evaluating methods; writing texts for manuals; devising or contributing to new ways of communicating with target groups via online tools);
- supporting activities in the field of CSR and M&E (e.g. developing our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals; supporting learning sessions; contributing to research into new methods to make our impact visible);
- supporting project development (e.g. by conducting research into export opportunities; contributing to system analyses; helping to write project plans).
Why CBI?
- CBI has held a unique position in the world for 50 years; the organization is a leader in sharing knowledge and expertise with entrepreneurs in developing countries, such as Africa. If you are interested in themes like sustainability, social responsibility, gender equality, or youth employment, you can help CBI realize transitions around these themes!
- Plenty of room for personal development;
- As an intern, you naturally want all the space to develop yourself and learn which professional field attracts your attention. You will be given that space at our organization:
- You will be assigned an internship supervisor who can support you in formulating your objectives, questions and developing your competencies;
- Assignments are assigned based on your areas of interest and based on the needs of the organization. And have you become more interested in a particular activity during the internship period? We offer you the freedom to supplement your task package where possible!
- Working at CBI means working in an international context, where a balance between development cooperation and international business is central. We believe that a good working atmosphere is crucial. Fun plays an important role in this. We organize activities, such as a pub quiz, outside of working hours. This way you get to know that one colleague in other areas as well.
