The CoCoDA Internship program is designed to allow Salvadorians and Nicaraguans the opportunity to work side by side with CoCoDA employees in the areas of communications, social media, graphic design, public health, and delegation facilitation, project management while improving English language proficiency.
While CoCoDA is open to applications from all students for possible internships, we will give preference to those in the following degree programs: Communications, English, Engineering, Graphic Design, Business Administration, Public Relations, Public Health, Medicine, and Social Work.
CoCoDA is open to full-time and part-time internships at all times of the year.
While English proficiency is not required for an internship, those applicants with some English proficiency will be given greater consideration.
Aplication process
Internship applicants are asked to:
1. Fill out a registration form with all pertinent personal information.
2. Identify the area of work/expertise they wish to develop through the internship.
3. Identify the time period for which they would like to intern and the number of hours each week they wish to dedicate to the internship.
4. Suggest ways in which they can contribute to the work of CoCoDA.
5. Supply academic and work letters of support.
Upon completion of these steps, applicants will be vetted by CoCoDA staff and if their academic pursuit and expertise fit a present CoCoDA scope of work, they will be offered an interview. Upon the successful completion of the interview, CoCoDA staff will either approve or decline the internship. Approved internships will receive a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) describing the specific terms and responsibilities of the internship.
