Our Internship Programmes

CYSD’s Internship Program is a unique program where students (18+) and young professionals from different background, locally or Internationally join CYSD for a month or more to exchange their skills and experiences and also get a hands-on opportunity to acquire direct exposure to CYSD’s work.
