Students are also pushed to improve their communication skills by providing timely oral updates and staging a presentation to their peers at the end of their placement. This year we have students working in organisations such as UNICEF, UNDP, IFRC, and a host of other NGOs in Asia Pacific, Central Africa, Central Europe, and North America. In addition to gaining valuable professional experiences, these students will take away rich memories of exploring new places and cultures. This is what the placement is all about!
