Deadline: Ongoing
Applications are open for the Palladium International Development Career Accelerator Internship 2025. Palladium is offering the International Development Career Accelerator Internship for historically underrepresented and first-generation undergraduate students curious to learn about the international development field.
The International Development Career Accelerator will provide undergraduate students with a summer experiential learning and mentorship opportunity to gain exposure to the international development field. This is an opportunity for rising juniors and seniors (current undergraduate sophomores/juniors) to explore whether a career tackling climate change, hunger, and access to healthcare, education, and safety and security may be right for them. But more than that, the team hopes that the program will help attract a broader range of voices into a sector that has long struggled with diversity.

- Receive shadowing opportunities with seasoned professionals.
- Receive guidance from a designated mentor.
- Network with leaders in the international development field.

- Benefit from consistent guidance and feedback to build skills and experience to chart a fulfilling professional future.
- The internship will run tentatively from June 2, 2025, through July 25, 2025.
- This is a paid internship with a rate of $20/hr.
