Trainees: Why I chose India? I wasinterested in the opportunity to work in India, becauseit is developingsorapidly and willbecomeone of the biggesteconomysoon. I wanted to experiencesomethingdifferent in an English-speaking country as I am working on a BA in English Language and Litterature. I hadbeen to Indiabefore, I like the country a lot. Butit is a bitdifficult to getworkthere as a foreigner, and I thought the Internshipwouldgive me a goodchance to experienceworking life in India.
Trainees: Why I chose India? • I wanted to seeIndia, and alsobecauseitwas a veryinterestingdestination in terms of business (and my studies) at the moment. The personalmotivationwasthough the biggestreason. • I have lived in India before. An internship with UNICEF has increased my chances of getting employment in the international organizations in the future. • Itwascheap, interesting, warm, good money from CIMO and I neededtraining.
