Internships & apprenticeships

Learn while giving back

Deadline to apply: May 31, 2024 (cycle closed)

The 1947 Partition Archive is now accepting applications for our Internships & Apprenticeships Program. Internships and Apprenticeships are designed for high school, college and post-graduate level students, recent graduates, as well as retirees and career professionals looking for a change. In addition to gaining important career skills, apprentices also expand to the next level and learn how to support and manage entry level practitioners. Apprentices are expected to be advanced in their skills and career-ready upon graduation.

We seek bright and enthusiastic interns and apprentices interested in gaining field experience. We currently have positions available in several fields, as listed below. Applicants should be serious, highly motivated and have the necessary experience as described for each position.

Prior to acceptance all applicants will undergo a competitive evaluation. Interns and apprentices accepted into the program will be paired with an experienced mentor in their area of concentration.

At present, we only offer unpaid volunteer internships and apprenticeships, intended for the applicant to gain field experience while giving back to society in the spirit of ‘seva’ as The 1947 Partition Archive remains a largely volunteer based organization. Applicants are encouraged to seek credit through their respective colleges and university programs, if applicable. Interns will receive relevant training, fieldwork experience as well as guaranteed references. References will only be provided to those who satisfactorily complete their internship term. Experience or knowledge in South Asian studies is not necessary, however we do require some task specific experience for certain positions.
