Indeed, it has a valuable source of funding for students’ summer internships: The Summer Internship for Change Award. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the Careers Centre does more than send the occasional email reminding you that one day you will actually have to get a job.

Fortunately, my worries were soon eased with a little help from the Careers Centre. These were the quandaries I was facing last summer as I accepted an internship with a peacebuilding NGO in Sri Lanka. Not only are you chasing a less lucrative career but you will also have to bankrupt yourself in the process.

Want to work for a charity? An NGO? A think tank or international organisation? Finding internships for the above is often an ordeal in itself, contingent on contacts or desperate prayers that google will churn out a useful opportunity. It is difficult enough finding an internship if you want a ‘conventional’ job but it is harder still if a less traditional career path appeals. Few things strike terror into the heart of a student as much as the question, ‘So have you got a summer internship yet?’ If not, you are often found scrambling to justify why exactly you need to see that distant relative for three months or how your planned holiday to Peru will really benefit your professional development.
