Aide médicale internationale à l'enfance (L'AMIE) - IAYI Internships 2011-2012

Results achieved as of the end of the project (August 2012): In terms of international development interns completed 107 hours of training regarding different themes relating to international development allowing them to implement their acquired knowledge during their internship and improve their skills by contributing to three millennium goals: children’s education protection of the environment and gender equality. In terms of employability interns increasingly developped their skills including leadership team work planning and management skills and their awareness to cultural differences. Interns received more than a dozen job offers in their field and to date six interns out of eight have found permanent or summer employment. In terms of public outreach interns increasingly improved their capacity to mobilize Canadians in different public environments promoting awareness on international development issues by each completing a minimum of two public presentations in front of an audience of 30 or more.
