SEAMEO internship and volunteer programmes aim to enable graduate students or volunteers to participate in the work of SEAMEO and to enable them to deepen their knowledge and understanding of SEAMEO's goals, policies and activities. The Internship and Volunteer programmes are intended to:

  • provide a framework by which undergraduate and post-graduate students or volunteers from diverse academic backgrounds may be assigned to SEAMEO offices where their educational experiences could be enhanced through practical work assignments;
  • expose them to the work of the SEAMEO.
