At FHI 360โs National Institute for Work and Learning (NIWL), we believe that equitable access to quality education and fulfilling work empowers people to reach their highest potential. Thatโs why NIWL focuses on two key drivers of individual well-being: education and employment. In the 50 years since our founding, the ways in which individuals and communities navigate work and learning have transformed dramatically. NIWL is housed under the U.S. Business Unit.
As a Workforce Development Intern, you will assist in the creation, implementation, and evaluation of programs aimed at enhancing the skills, employability, and career readiness of individuals. This internship offers hands-on experience in workforce development initiatives and the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects that positively impact individuals' lives.
