Internships & Fellowships

Learn through
meaningful work.

Internships and fellowships can create structured opportunities to develop professional capability while contributing to defined areas of work.

When Avarynth establishes internship or fellowship opportunities, confirmed program details and application information will be published through the Opportunities section.

The Pathways

Different stages.
Different purposes.

01

Internships

Internships may provide structured exposure to professional practice through defined responsibilities, learning, and contribution within an Avarynth area of work.

Where an internship is established, its purpose, responsibilities, duration, eligibility, supervision, location, and application requirements should be defined for that specific opportunity.

02

Fellowships

Fellowships may provide a more focused period of professional, research, technical, or practice-based development around a defined area of work.

Where a fellowship is established, its objectives, activities, duration, eligibility, support, expected contribution, and application process should be defined for that specific program.

These descriptions explain the categories. They do not establish that Avarynth currently offers either program.

Areas of Work

Development connected
to professional practice.

01

Public Health & Global Health

Potential learning and contribution around public health programs, health systems, population health, prevention, and related areas.

02

Research & Evaluation

Potential experience connected to research, evaluation, evidence, implementation research, qualitative inquiry, monitoring and evaluation, and technical outputs.

03

Program Implementation

Potential exposure to program planning, coordination, implementation, learning, assessment, and technical delivery.

04

Strategy & Organizational Practice

Potential learning related to strategy, organizational systems, planning, performance, management, and institutional development.

Digital Health & Information Systems

Potential experience around digital health, information systems, data use, digital workflows, and technology-supported practice.

06

Learning & Knowledge

Potential contribution to professional learning, technical training, knowledge development, research communication, and related activities.

These are possible areas where a future internship or fellowship may be established. They are not current programs.

Structured Development

Learning needs
a clear purpose.

01

Defined Objectives

A genuine internship or fellowship should have a clear purpose and defined developmental or professional objectives.

02

Meaningful Contribution

Participants should have defined work or activities connected to the purpose of the opportunity.

03

Guidance

Where appropriate, the opportunity should identify how professional or technical guidance will be provided.

04

Learning Through Practice

Development should connect knowledge with practical experience, reflection, research, technical work, or professional responsibility.

05

Clear Expectations

Duration, responsibilities, eligibility, working arrangements, and other conditions should be stated for the specific opportunity.

These principles describe the structure that may guide an opportunity. They are not contractual guarantees.

Who They May Be For

Opportunities shaped
around the program.

Eligibility should be determined by the purpose of each internship or fellowship rather than by a single organization-wide rule.

Internships & Employment

Different pathways
serve different purposes.

An internship is a structured opportunity with its own defined purpose and conditions. It should not be presented as employment unless the terms of a specific opportunity establish an employment relationship.

Fellowships & Specialist Work

Development and specialist
assignments are different.

A fellowship is centered on a defined developmental, research, technical, or practice-based purpose.

Experienced specialists interested in assignment-specific technical contribution should explore the Technical Assistance Network instead.
