Internships

Ikando facilitates internships with high-profile organisations in Ghana, West-Africa. Our continued presence in Ghana has enabled us to team up with acclaimed organisations looking for international interns. From Legal Consultancy Firms to Architecture Bureaus, you name it we've got it!

International Internships enable students to further develop their skills and gain the invaluable experience that will set them apart from their peers. Employers far rather employ staff who have both experience and have demonstrated daring and initiative. Ikando can help you achieve this. We will provide you with any documentation required by your university for academic credit or work experience (European Stagieres).
