Types
Academic Internship
This type of internship is used to fulfil an academic requirement from a University or College. The research work must be completed in the prescribed time given by the respective university and DKI.
Professional Internship
Despite being unpaid, this internship provides a stepping stone into the professional world. It gives you the necessary tools, experience, and expertise to move into the working world post-internship. It is the most valuable as you’ll be working practically on-site in Nepal.
Voluntary Internship
If you are looking to invest any number of hours in our organization, this is the internship for you. There is no pressure on the amount of work you put in, but there is an expectation that by the end of your time with DKI you would have contributed but also gained something valuable.
