WISE is offering short-term virtual internships for Winter 2022. Powering Change is a new program that has been specifically designed to cater to short term virtual research internships for WISE’s international partners. The $1000 scholarships are for work integrated learning and are not just internships. Undergraduate students would work 4-8 hours per week remotely for the international partners, helping them out with their projects, events etc. These short internships require a total of a 100 hours throughout the total duration of the placement.

The intern working under the Powering Change program would be a facilitator and supporter for the partner and their projects. This is an excellent opportunity to work and engage with international colleagues and to be a work on global projects focused on climate solutions., energy access and sustainability.

However, this opportunity is only for low income, Indigenous, and students with disabilities. Students would have to self identify in one of these three categories. Students who are interested should contact Fibha Nazim, emailing her at fnazim@uwaterloo.ca.
