What’s New
Sweatt in Senegal – Summer Internship Program in Senegal
We’re excited to share our Summer 2023 internship opportunity in collaboration with many brothers out in Senegal.
What is it?
This is an 8-week (June 6th – July 28th) project-based internship in Dakar, Senegal. This internship will provide opportunity for student development of knowledge, skills, and cultural proficiency; companies/entities to experience organizational development and growth; the building of sustaining relationships between American institutions and entities within Senegal.
Bridging the gap between U.S. higher education institutions and West Africa, Sweatt has created this opportunity to grow global investment and increase the opportunity for strategic partnerships both in West Africa specifically and the rest of the globe.
Students will have the opportunity work five days a week, with a cultural excursion every Saturday, with one of these companies:
Senegal’s Ministry of Tourism – ASPT
Sup Deco Graduate School of Business
