I really enjoyed my Global Public Health Virtual Internship with GVI. I got to interact and work with people all over the world, worked through great content in the online modules and I got to work with and learn from people doing real life work in my future career. Most importantly, during my internship I was able to complete 4 project briefs which has given me great insight into the public health world and as well as very valuable experience before I graduate from university.

I loved GVI's Virtual Internship Program. It was an unforgettable experience. Through the Virtual Internship Program, I was provided with so many opportunities, such as hearing about the career paths of successful figures in the Public Health fields through the masterclasses, talking to an international group of people about global issues through networking events, learning about a different country through the cultural immersion video, and working with an organization based in the Public Health field. Additionally, I had the chance to connect with many amazing people worldwide and gain insight into the Public Health field, which has inspired me to look for a career in this field. The project that I completed was challenging in the best way possible; it forced me to think outside of the box and learn from the experiences of others. This program is perfect for anyone interested in making international connections, loves volunteering, wants to learn about the world, wants to learn more about a specific job field, or is just interested in having an unforgettable opportunity.

The course is incredibly helpful. I feel that it has really set me up for a career in development - I've learnt about what is really important for development (that being the community itself) and how to engage with them; how to help them help themselves; and how important it is to curate a project for them. This module has really opened my eyes about and has motivated me to change the common perception 'charity work' - it should be treated similar to for-profits in order to succeed via taking risks with innovation. It feels satisfying to be apart of something that will soon revolutionise how we help those in need.
